Carriage Ride through St. Augustine

We were lucky enough to have Gee and Pa come down to St. Augustine to spend New Years with us again this year.  It's becoming a fun tradition to have our 2nd Christmas with them on December 30th and then to spend New Year's Eve together watching fireworks on the beach on the 31st. 

On the last night of their visit, we all went out to dinner and then for a horse drawn carriage ride around historic St. Augustine.  It was beautiful with all of the lights still decorating the buildings and trees for the Nights of Lights celebration.
We had a beautiful horse named Prince to pull our carriage on this evening.  He was HUGE!  We were surprised how well he followed verbal commands from the carriage driver.
 It was a wonderful evening to see St. Augustine and a fun way end our visit with Gee and Pa.
