The Adventure Continues...in St. Augustine!

As promised, I will give you an update on our Ghost Hunt last night.  It was quite possibly the best money we have spent since we left Muncie!  Definitely worth the $40 for the whole family.  But, truly, yesterday was just about perfect!  I have already told you that we enjoyed the fort at St. Augustine immensely.  It was really cool to think of standing in one of the oldest cities in the United States.

But I digress.  I am supposed to be writing tonight to give you an update on our Ghost Adventure!  I worried, a lot, about Drew.  I just wasn't sure if he was old enough.  I didn't want to scar him for life!  What if he got so scared that he didn't want to sleep?  But he does watch Ghost Hunters on t.v.  I really thought he would be okay...

And I was right!  He loved it!  Almost as much as Indira did.  She really enjoyed it!  Let me give you the details...

So we made a reservation for the Ripley's Ghost Tour for 8:00 pm last night.  We paid about $40 for all four of us and met this lady at 7:45 to give us our "gear."  (This consisted of a disposable camera and a K-II meter.)  At 8:00 our tour guides gave us our instructions for the K-II meter.  Evidently, it measures electromagnetic frequency, which "ghosts" give off!  It all seemed kind of funny to me, but in a weird way, kind of real?  I don't know.  Not sure I am a believer, but not positive that I am not either!

We boarded the trolley and the tour guides told several "ghost stories" about St. Augustine.  Some were pretty interesting.  Definitely entertaining!  We made several stops to do our own investigating.

After our tour of the various places throughout town, the tour guides brought us back to the Ripley's Museum for our final investigation.  Apparently, the museum is the former house of two ladies who died there years ago.  You can guess how the story goes, I am sure!  This actually was a little scary.  I was worried that Drew would get really scared in

this part.  But he enjoyed it!  We did go into one room that was rumored to be haunted (where the ladies died) and he was watching that little meter pretty closely!

As we were walking out of the museum, when the tour was over, I could tell that the kids had a great time.  I wish we could do it again!  Drew had one comment, in particular, that was pretty funny.  "Mom, my legs are shaking!"  And they were.

This will probably rank up there at the top of our little family adventures.  We have had a great time in St. Augustine!  I am looking forward to coming  back again sometime!

One more full day and then it is back to reality.  That saddens me a little.  As eager as I am to get to sleep in my own bed, we have had a lot of fun.  Almost so much fun that I have forgotten about the shuttle launch!  Not really, but close!

Until next time...
