St. Augustine: History Comes Alive!

Recently, my family and I went to Colonial Quarter and The Pirate Museum in St. Augustine. At Colonial Quarter, there was a blacksmith shop recreation. The tour guide showed us how they heated up metal and cooled it down. The tour guide also gave us a musket demonstration. We walked in an old house built in the 1700’s and expanded in the 1800‘s. Inside the old house, there was a bed with a mattress made out of rope, that did not look very comfy. At The Pirate Museum, we saw 1 of 2 remaining pirate flags in the world! The Pirate Museum tour guide told us people were pirates for profit. In the movie section section of The Pirate Museum, I saw a Jack Sparrow sword prop and learned that pirates walking the plank were just in movies, not in real life. After the guided tour at The Pirate Museum, we listened to a Blackbeard sound show recorded by Walt Disney! If you have not been to St. Augustine, I suggest you go and visit Colonial Quarter and The Pirate Museum. Just don’t try to lie down on that rope mattress.

Italian restaurant reviews!

      This weekend my Grandmom was in town.We went to 2 Italian restaurants, Carrabba’s and Pizza Hut. Carrabba’s was very fancy.We were sat at a booth with a round table. As an appetizer we got calamari. It was my first time trying calamari, but it was great! For the main course I had cheese pizza.The pizza was delicious! I felt like I could chew on it forever! Our waitress was friendly. Carrabba’s was just wonderfull! Next was Pizza Hut. It felt more like MickeyD’s but with a waitress and a buffet.Their cheese pizza was good ,but not as good as Carrabba’s. Pizza Hut did had the most amazing cinnamon sticks! Overall I liked Carrabba’s better, but my mom says Pizza Hut is cheaper. Thank you for reading!
