Let's Adventure to St. Augustine
As a child, St. Augustine felt like a dusty time capsule that I found difficult connecting with. The memory of this replayed during our recent tour when, decades later, the history felt alive with echoes of whispered conversations within the ancient walls. Though my own children completed their Junior Ranger booklet with gusto, they were far more interested in conversations with their cousins than reading the educational plaques littered throughout the fort.
Strolling the streets of St. Augustine will always be my favorite, as live music and delicious aromas fill the open air. If you visit during the holiday season the entire town is lit up like a tropical winter dream.
The older I've grown the more enchanted I've became with the history of this charming city. I cherish it now as one of the few well-preserved historical cities in Florida. Though explosive tourism and relocation to the area has made it more difficult to find parking and traverse the cobblestone roads, it will always have a special place in my heart.
The architecture of this coastal town is absolutely stunning!
