St. Augustine was written on my bucket list of places to visit and at the end of 2017, we finally went there! While we were only there for a few days, we could’ve easily stayed longer than a week. There is so much to see and do in Saint Augustine but if you’re only there for a short time, we’ve put together this city guide for 72 hours (or less) in Saint Augustine, Florida which you can read on our blog, here.

Castillo de San Marcos

About Castillo de San Marcos

On our recent visit to Saint Augustine, Florida we spent a few hours exploring its Spaniard built fort: Castillo de San Marcos. It’s a 17th century fort and the oldest fort in the United States. It has endured many battles, raids, wars and sieges, including a 2 month siege when British forces arrived in November 1702 to take over which at that time, Spanish territory.

The 21 acre fort was built using a stone called “coquina” found only in the Saint Augustine area which is actually made from the shells of dead shellfish that bonded together. The grass that surrounds the fort is actually a dry moat which once had water to aid in keeping enemies out.

There are cannon fire demonstrations held daily, you don’t want to miss that. Just remember to plug your ears and enjoy the show!

We hope this video will inspire you to visit Saint Augustine, thank you for watching and share it with your friends!

Basketball Set by Step2: Shootin’ Hoops Pro

updated on Leave a Comment on Basketball Set by Step2: Shootin’ Hoops Pro

Basketball is becoming one of Tristan’s favorite activities to do at home along with playing outdoors.

This past week during all of the pre-Black Friday sales, we picked up a Step2 Shootin’ Hoops Pro Basketball Set from Kohl’s. This is a review and tutorial of how we put it all together – assembly was pretty easy.

The entire family had so much fun playing with it!

CAT Bulldozer Unboxing

updated on Leave a Comment on CAT Bulldozer Unboxing

Tristan spotted this cool Cat 9″ Big Builder Caterpillar Bulldozer at Walmart. It is freewheeling and has a lever that makes realistic bulldozer sounds, lights, sound effects, music and makes a great toy for preschool ages. A feature that Tristan really loves is its forward and reverse motion. Also its ability to lift loaded objects (like his blocks!)

It requires 2 AA batteries which are included in the box but I recommend having another set on hand as we had to replace the batteries after its frequent use.
