Feb 09, 2015  Today has been an amazing day.  It’s only 4:00 p.m. and I’m so tired that I’m ready for bed.  It was suppose to rain today so we were up early to go kayaking.  We talked to a gentleman yesterday on the boardwalk that recommended the Sea Bean Trail.  We have an awesome Sea Eagle inflatable kayak that holds three “people”.  We kayaked with   E T in it when she was a 20 pound puppy and now that she is 62 pounds, it’s a tight fit.  David took her for a ride and then we put her back in the RV and then just the two of us went out.   It was a good thing.  I would never have been able to take such fabulous bird photos.  If you are a birder, or not,  this is a paradise.   Another good reason we didn’t have E T  with us, there were so many fish feeding in one area that at times they were jumping two feet out of the water.  It was like watching pop corn pop.  I was laughing out loud so much my ribs hurt.  If you’re a fisherman, or not, it was great fun.   We would never have been able to keep E T still.  She would have wanted to catch them and we would have been swimming.  I wouldn’t have minded, but the water is 51 degrees.

After kayaking we walked several miles with E T.  We are teaching her to walk between us without a leash and come when she is called.   One boardwalk here is a little over 1/4 mile. There is fencing that is close enough where she could not jump through if she wanted to.  There were hardly any people at the beach today so when we tired of walking with her, David stood at one end of the boardwalk and I at the other and she ran back and forth on call.  E T is ready for bed too 🙂

It is beautiful here and very quiet.  We didn’t make it into town yet, might not depending on weather tomorrow … here’s a tip for seniors, there is a “Red Train Tour”, more like a trolley than a train that tours the town. You can get on and off as many times as you want. Seniors get buy one get one for $10 pricing.  I hope we get to do it, but there’s always next time.  We also didn’t get over to tour the St. Augustine lighthouse, 229 steps to the top!  We did see it on our kayak ride.
