The lady offered Benji a drink...he will be a puppy forever! Ya gotta love that the park is dog friendly. All the staff members were quite friendly and full of information. When Ponce was here this well was actually a fountain spraying above ground, but over time the water table dropped and now the Fountain of Youth is a well. Below is a life size monument of the Chief. He was huge, over 7 feet tall, and Ponce was only 4'10". This tribe's life span was in the 70's and the Spanish only late 30's. Ponce just KNEW this had to be THE Fountain of Youth.
They actually fire this cannon! Little man loved it, but really enjoyed chatting with the conquistador. He was loaded with cool information and was quite funny as well. He approached my son by asking if he injured his eye in battle...see the patch he's wearing?

I love history too.
We have a cannon ball...
Looked as though you had a fantastic time..... wish I could have been there. x x x
Looks like a fun day. My pup is 8 but she thinks she's a puppy : )
So sweet! Little man looks like he's having a ball.
I visited that area when I was touring Florida a couple of years ago. It was charming but I missed out on all the sightseeing you guys did!

Sure looks like y'all had a blast! I'll definitely have to plan a trip back there someday soon!
Very nice, would love to visit some historic places someday. My son loves history.
Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures and I how funny the dude asked Little man if he injured his eye in battle. ROFL.... bet Little Man thought that was a riot!
Cute! I bet that was fun for him!
If you get a chance, check out the post I did on the fort and St. Augustine. You would love it, and so would your son. There is also a pirate cruise, and there will soon be a pirate museum. It's loaded with fun stuff.
XO,

It looks like fun! I love history! I'm thinking we may have to vacation there in the future.
