Saint Augustine, Florida

Posted on: 03, 20, 2012

My husband and I finally were able to take a honeymoon. We traveled to Florida and took a day to tour some of the sites in St. Augustine, our nation’s oldest city. I was completely captured by this city’s romance and history.

We walked the old section of town filled with historical building, little shops and restaurants. This little shop called the best gift idea ever sells 4x6 photographs of letters. The idea is to spell out whatever you would like and they will frame it, what a cool idea! I was inspired to photograph my own letters from our vacation, I spelled our last name but if you are interested to see what they have check them out- http://bestgiftideaever.com/bestgiftideaever/index.php

We toured the lighthouse built in 1871 and climbed the 219 stairs to the top. One of my favorite sites was the Castillo de San Marcos. Built to protect and defend Spain’s claims to the New World, it was never defeated in battle. This place represents over 330 years of history…wow! I highly recommend you visit at night it is simply breathtaking.
