The 8th. was my 18th. anniversary.  We booked a room at the Casa Monica hotel in Saint Augustine.  The hotel was built in 1880 and remodeled in 1999.  It is a 5 star hotel now.  They knew it was our anniversary and when we got to our room there was a dozen long stemmed roses!  A few minutes later they delivered a tray of chocolate covered strawberries with a bottle of campaign!  I'm sure that in the end we paid for the but it was very nice.

Here is a link: http://www.casamonica.com/  Later I'll post a couple of pictures I took.

Thank you!  We had a great time too.

Here is a picture out our window.  The building is Flagler College.  It used to be a hotel.


This is a little "garden" in front of city hall: (from my window)


This is the city hall, a museum and a couple of stores.  It used to be a hotel also:


Just a picture of some lights.  From the above mentioned garden:

Any plans for your 20th yet?  This year is our 15th and we are going to do a cruise - the same thing we did for our honeymoon.  The only downside is it will mean fewer camping trips this year.

Last year we took a cruise.  But, there are many places to go.  I would rather stay here in the states or Canada.  A train trip in the Canadian Rocky Mountains is something I have always wanted to do!

I've seen pictures of those train trips in Mexico where they strap your RV to flatbed train cars and you see the countryside from the flatbed.  I just looked at one web site that said this... can't believe you can sit there in your own lawn chair, wild.

"The trains travel at about 20 miles-per-hour and only during daylight hours," said Jody Kohn of Adventure Caravans out of Livingston, Tex.

"There is only one rig to a flatcar," he said, "so there is plenty of room for people to put out their lawn chairs and take in the magnificent vistas."
