A year ago my daughter went to St. Augustine as part of a school field trip.  She enjoyed it so much we decided to make a 24 hr stop on our way to Charleston the following summer.  For those who do not know, St. Augustine is the oldest city in the country.  Not only is it full of history (from Spanish colony to British rule) but it is fun to. It is a great place to walk around, admire the cool Spanish architecture, have some good food, and experience some great tours and entertainment. There are also tons of tourist traps – I mean shops along the way to pick up some mementos.  If you have never been to St. Augustine, then pack your bags and give it a go. There is lots to keep you busy and I guarantee you will find something that is right for you.  We spent less than 24 hrs in this historic town and sampled just a bit of what it has to offer.  I can’t wait to go back for more.
