O’Steen’s Restaurant wasn’t originally on our St. Augustine bucket list. We decided to stay close to the hotel for our last night in St. Augustine. We knew that we had an early start to head back across Florida in the last leg of our Southern Road Trip. Neither of us is exactly sure how we…
With the rave reviews online about the St Augustine Distillery, we knew it was something to check out on the last leg of our Southern Road Trip. We are not big drinkers, and to be completely honest, our home bar is overstocked. Our friends tend to bring us bottles when they come to dinner, and…
Do we look any younger? Seriously, while drinking from what is considered Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth was fun, we didn’t expect to see any dramatic results. Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park 11 Magnolia Avenue St. Augustine, FL 32084 The…
True Confession: The Lightner Museum was not on our list of things to do while in St. Augustine on our recent road trip. The Lightner Museum 75 King Street St. Augustine, Florida 32084 We love getting lost in a local museum with more extended visits. Unfortunately, with a 9 Day Southern Road Trip and only…
If you missed our last blog post, we had dinner at Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille on our first night in St. Augustine. Our server was less than charming and basically blew off asking about dessert – so we paid our check and left. Their loss was our gain! We wandered down the block, across…
We rarely make a big deal over our anniversary dinner. The truth is, we’re typically traveling somewhere and having a low-key dinner. We met on October 28, 2002, on a blind date. For our first date chose to meet at a Korean BBQ in Philadelphia’s Italian Market. We knew that dinner would be interactive, and…
Since we moved to Florida a decade ago, exploring historic St Augustine has been on our ‘we should do this’ list. We had heard great things about this old city and its history. And much like nearly everyone else, we knew St Augustine and Fountain of Youth! So, we added it to our Southern Road…
Today is National Pizza Day! And, as you probably know, Mark is a pizza junky. He’ll find amazing Pizza wherever we travel. So, today’s post, in honor of National Pizza Day, is only slightly out of order for the St. Augustine portion of our Southern Road Trip. We spent our first day in St. Augustine…
We left beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, for the last leg of our 9 Day Southern Road Trip, St. Augustine, Florida! Airbnb vs. Hotel? Knowing we were staying in Airbnbs in Savannah and Charleston, we decided that we’d stay at a boutique hotel in St. Augustine. We found that in the area around St. Augustine,…
With so many travel limitations still in place, we decided that maybe we should stay a little closer to home for our fall vacation. So, we planned out a nine-day Southern Road Trip! Ten years ago, we passed through Savannah on our way to Orlando, looking for a home. And, as no one knew we…
