Visiting Friends

Jeff's main job is teaching deaf and hard of hearing kids (coaching diving is his secondary job and his real passion). St. Augustine is Deaf Central Florida; the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind (FSDB) is located there, as is Flagler College which has a deaf education program, so naturally we had friends there.

We flew into Orlando Airport, got into our rental car, and drove for about 1 hour and 45 minutes to St. Augustine. Arriving in St. Augustine in the early afternoon, we headed to Michella and JC's home west of St. Augustine and spent the afternoon there. Michella was Jeff's former co-worker from the Hawaii School for the Deaf, and she and JC relocated to St. Augustine for her to teach at Flagler College after she completed her PhD. We spent the afternoon catching up, getting acquainted with their cute 9-month old baby, and checking out the 2-acre plot of land they bought, and the area around.

After visiting with Michella and JC, we checked in to Jaybird’s Inn, and we went for the rehearsal dinner after.
