Florida

David has been flying all over the country these past two weeks interviewing at schools for an endodontic residency. I was the lucky girl that got to meet up with him in Florida over the weekend. I dropped Bailey off at David's parents house. It was the fist time I have ever left her over night. It was a great vacation! We flew in Thursday night, Friday David had his interviews so I explored a little on my own then ended up getting my hair highlighted on a whim. Saturday we drove to Clearwater Beach on the gulf side. It was really pretty. It was stormy all day long so we ended up driving across the state to St. Augstine, the oldest city in the US. It was really cute, it reminded me of Fredricksburg. The next morning we checked out the Jacksonville beach before we had to head to the airport.


Jacksonville Beach


This poor bird had string caught around his leg.


We saw this manaray swim by while we were on the pier.

We watched this bird swoop down and catch two fish, it was crazy!
We had to go see what people were catching off the piers. One guy caught this little shark so David wanted to hold it, weird I know.






St. Augustine
I love all the Spanish moss that hangs off the trees.









Cajun Boiled Peanut, delicious!
















Clearwater Beach
You can see the storm coming in, we practically had the whole beach to our selves.


















Gainesville




It was a fun surprise to find our friends Ryan and Ashley where interviewing at the same place. We haven't seen them in four years, (since BYU).





We had to go see some real gators since they are the schools mascot.




There were so many trees, it was gorgeous!
