Thank you!
We did the Lightner and Flagler last year.
Very nice!
The place for breakfast, is that on St George St near the old ? Hospital, I can't think of the name.
That's cheap/good.
There's also the St Augustine Art Society near there as well, great place to go check out some artist's work!
We are going to try that Greek Resteraunt across from the park (common) near downtown. Have you gone to the Buttery? My dh likes their coffee.
There's so much to do for such a quaint place.
We like having lunch at the Mexican Resteraunt on the Corner, up stairs* on the outside patio ( I am not good with names but they have a great lunch menu/reasonable, don't go there at night, too expensive.
Our favorite Spanish Resteraunt is The Columbian, but that one doesn't compare to the one in Downtown Celebration! The Columbian in St Augustine is very touristy, (better gift shop though)LOL! but they hurry up and rush you (try to get more tourists in) of course service is so so. Celebration is much better, it's just that we have waited months for the 1905 Salad, so we put up with the other stuff!!lol!
I wouldn't stay any where else but the Historic Distict. Only one complaint, during the week everything closes up so early-can't understand why though?!
It's all tourists...weekends is so packed.
The Cracker Resteraunt I really would like to try.
If you have any more tips keep them coming, we love all kinds of foods, and we'll try it!
Did they ever open that Chocolate Factory up?
I can't say enough about such a beautiful place!
We have been all over and the islands, this place is something very special!
Do you know anything about a gentlemen that used to carve designs out of real money in that little alley way in the market in the Historic District? He moved/left he had some great stuff, he hasn't been there in a couple years, if you have any info on him, or his name/contact, let me know.
We took the kids to the Alligator Zoo last year.
It has special memories for me because years ago, I went there with my family when I was about 5 to the Fountain of Youth, and back then they had a Grist Mill Resteraunt there, and I found some people that remembered that, it's no longer on that property, and for years I told my dh and he thought I was halucinating or something, and over the bridge on Anastia Island there's like a plaza there, and we went in to look at souvenirs, and there was an older gentlemen and we got to talking to him and he said he came from MI in the early 6o's and there was a Grist Mill on the Fountain of Youth Property, and I was happy to find someone who new what I was talking about.
Since my dad passed away last March, I have been rethinking about the family trips to FL as child and that really made my day to know I was dreaming-funny how our minds work, we think back about childhood things, we went to visit St Augustine alot way back then, my relatives lived in Sanford, FL *they were in the Navy, I truly believe because of my family trips with my family from MA-FL this helped to start all the car trips with my own dh and dd and ds over the years. Nice memories.
Thank you again!
PSPS Since you have family that is from that area, I am also trying to find out what area had the Indian Burial ground, I have pictures of that, lots of moss trees, etc and there was someplace that had aquariums of fish tanks, like a museum, the older gent on Anastasia Island seemed to think it was some place that closed a long time ago..........
