The Steampunk Invasion of St. Augustine
Saturday, November 11, we joined the Cowford Steampunk Society and the Tampa Bay Steampunk Society for an outing to see the "Dressing Downton" exhibit at the Lightner Museum.
There was a very talented silhouette artist, just inside the front door of the Lightner museum.
This is my silhouette:
One of the other ladies from our group had her's done, as well:
Group pictures by the City Gate:
Because of Veterans Day, there was free admission to the Castillo de San Marcos, the old Spanish fort, so we went there after the group pictures.
The Columbia Restaurant for dinner:

Moundville
DH worked at Moundville while he was working on his masters degree at the University of Alabama and he had often mentioned wanting to visit, so that was the final stop on our return trip from Minnesota.
The museum is small, but beautifully put together.
The mounds that the natives built are impressive. DH said that when he worked here, the building at the top of this mound was open to the public and contained a life-sized diorama, but the park had trouble with vandalism and it is no longer open.
It's quite a climb, but the view from the top is spectacular!
Blaze was very interested in earth lodges.
Close to the river there is a cluster of small houses with life-sized dioramas of daily life.
