2014-10-30 Bicycle ride to historic district, St Augustine

The four of us headed out in the morning to explore St Augustine by bicycle. The historic district is only a 3 mile ride from the state park. Along the way, we parked the bikes and walked the Old Spanish Quarries trail in Anastasia. Then we continued our ride into St Augustine, where we again parked the bikes. We stopped in at Pepper Palace (Brett and Olivia should own stock), then walked around the amazing historic district. Stopped in to try the microbrews at A1A Ale Works - I think it was $7 for a 4oz sample of  6 beers - not a bad deal. After an hour or so more of exploring, we headed home all warmed up for a new game of Mexican Train Dominos!
