Picking a location for our Las Vegas trip was no easy fete; there are tons of options on and off The Strip. So, when we stumbled on a great deal for The Vdara Hotel and Spa, we knew we were all set! American Airlines Vacations While we often fly American Airlines and have an…
Long before our 9 Day Southern Road Trip, we had other travel plans for the end of 2021. And much like everyone else in the world who like to travel, we were in a constant state of wait and see. Turning 60 Chuck’s 60th birthday bucket list trip was to see Africa, the Maasai,…
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.

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…
