Another Anniversary Picture

Here is Another anniversary picture of the two of us.

Our Anniversary Weekend to St. Augustine

Katie and I took a long week, April 28-May 1 for our one year wedding anniversary. I had never been there, but Katie says its one of her favorite places. We saw a lot of cool old buildings, as well as some touristy things, like the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.

St. Augustine is the oldest continuous settlement in the US. It was founded in 1668 by the Spanish. There is a really old "cathedral" there, and an old Spanish Fort that started original construction in 1671.
There is also this Hotel (that is now a college) built in the 1880's by Henry Flagler. It was one of the first buildings: 1) pre-wired for electricity; 2) with running water, hot and cold 3) and the largest poured concrete structure of the day. It's like 4 or 5 stories. Has hundreds of room. But you can't see the rooms, because now they are girls dorms.

On our way out of St. Augustine, we stopped by the lighthouse and climbed to the top. The view was amazing; we could see all the way back to the fort, and far out into the ocean. It was a little freaky, but we could see for miles and miles and miles.

Maxwell's Big Adventure!

I decided to let our cat, Maxwell outside. I was bar-b-q-ing one day, and decide I'd let maxwell roam around the backyard. He was very cautious, sniffing every blade of grass, slowly getting closer to the back of the yard. He got about three quarters of the way back, on the right towards the tree, and ran at the tree.
He put up his two front paws and started scratching on the tree, like by instinct. Of course, he has no claws. About this time, dinner was done, and we were going to eat outside. We set the table, and I went to get Maxwell. He ran towards the gate, and I cut him off, he dodged.... right under the deck. Katie and I coaxed him and reached for him, and teased him with snacks. Finally, I stood over the edge, while Katie shook his snacks, and when he poked his head out, I grabbed him. We took him in the house, and of course, by now, dinner was a little cold, but I learned not to let Maxwell out anymore.
