The Golden Lion, Palm Coast, Florida

Another place where we had great shrimp was at the Golden Lion along the A1A with a great view of the water.

Matanzas, Florida - Part 2

Here's part 2 of Matanzas, Florida, which has a fabulous series of photos, and you'll definitely want to check them out if you haven't seen them yet. This series is all about eating yummy fresh shrimp at Matanzas Innlet and a bit of humor with two of their signs.

Kids throwing rocks will be fed to
resident bullsharks.

Don't worry, she didn't throw any rocks.

He's South African where they don't bother peeling theirs.
They eat the shells, legs and everything!

This is me, Tina. I ordered their delicious fried shrimp.
Our son, Jeremiah, is eating at the table behind me.

What goes up must come down.
Do Not Feed Birds!
Is that a french fry?

Wild Mustangs

Friends of my mom and step-dad are involved in rehabilitating wild or feral mustangs near St. Augustine, Florida. Their names are Ericka and David Savage. They introduced us to three mustangs who had been recently rescued from bad situations and were being rehabilitated so that they could go to their forever homes. They also took us to meet mustangs that they themselves had adopted. Three of my kids even got to ride on the tamest one. It was Amanda's first time on a horse and she loved it.
