Tell me about it Bob. I know i'm posting a ton of pics, but I really hope all participants post their pics. If they're like me, the have a ton to sort through and resize. Can't wait to see them.

Here's more pics

All good things.....

Here's the last group of my pics. A few more beach pics, along with a few as we did a drive through St. Augustine. The yellow beetle you see is a tagalong which was pretty cool.

Thanks guys for an awesome weekend

Hey Al - your pictures are fabulous!!! The puddle jumpers and the ones where the NBs are looking out toward the ocean are my faves.

oh master of all things photography...

Thanks everyone for posting pics of this sorely missed GTG.
St Augustine is one of those must visit areas. Hopefully we'll get to do it next year?

Did someone say next year?

What date? What time? What shall I wear? Are we doing a barbecue on the beach this time? Oh my.. so little time to plan and get things ready...

[AmyJane]

Great pics, everyone! I got a little misty-eyed when I looked at them. I miss Florida so much!

[Beetlescott]

Yes! Great Pics! It makes me want to hit the road to a GTG! Beautiful Bug shots on the beach! I love it!

I'm trying to prod Al into making this a yearly event. Tho to be honest, I don't think it'll take much prodding

I hear ya Amy Jane, Denise & I feel the same way. We've second guessed many times why we ever left Naples. Sure, Wilma was scary, but people do stay and rebuild after hurricanes. And oh God, we had great jobs!!

Being fairly close, I can't figure why you'd pass on the ToD GTG next May It would be "hitting the road" and a GTG

I can't wait to see the other pics from the others Cori. I believe they gonna be just as good if not better. For the nB's facing the water shots- the credit goes to Michelle and Tabitha for choosing the pose. The success of the poses was a group effort. I love teamwork

Ow, Ow! The prodding.... the prodding

You guys had me at next

It's official. There will be a...
Old Town/New Beetle, End Of Summer GTG
next year.

From the big turnout, it looks like this will be an annual event.

I have a few extra things in the works that i think you all will like. I'll put up a planning thread the first part of the year, early spring at the latest. For now, we're off to Savannah, and an appointment to slay a dragon!!

As I have so often heard it described. St. Augustine a great liitle drinkin village with a fishing problem. Really wish I could have made it down, so close yet so far away.
