For Father's day, we went to America's oldest city, Saint Augustine. Our first stop was our favorite restaurant in the city, Harry's. It is right on Avienda Menendez which is on Mantanza Bay. It used to be an old house and a few years ago on a ghost tour we learned that it's haunted. Harry's serves New Orleans style food. Our dad always gets the Jambalaya and we split the Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage, but because we were so hungry we forgot to get any pictures of our amazing food. On the ghost tour, they told us that the ladies' restroom is haunted so whenever we go up there we get so nervous. We walked along St. George street, which is an amazing place to shop. Our mom got new sunglasses and earrings, and our dad didn't get anything so a little confusion there. We stopped at Kilwin's and they have the best milkshakes. Carter got a milkshake with St. Augustine mud ice cream and Cassidy got cinnamon crumb cake ice cream. We walked around the fort, Castillo de San Marcos. We got to see the cannons go off and it was louder then we expected. We walked along the water to get to the docks where we planned on taking a boat around the bay. There are so many sailboats in the water and a few pirate ships. Our boat ride was fun but gray clouds threatened to storm the whole time. Luckily, it passed. Overall, it was a great day and hopefully our dad had a fantastic Father's Day!

Fun Fact
Our dad's side of the family was originally from Saint Augustine and we know the exact street they lived on. The lived there in the 1800s and before that they came from Cuba.
