There are so many interesting things to see as you travel our magnificent country. We plan on doing the National Parks in different states, zoos and things like that. To make this trip a little more interesting, we decided to pick at least one, sometimes not so well know place to visit. We used the…
A long trip
Last July, Curt and I decided that we would like to start saving for a trip out West. He has lived in New Mexico and Colorado in the past and I have always wanted to visit both of those states. We decided on driving the car (a 6-week vacation on a motorcycle no matter how…
Leaving St. Augustine and the Fort
A few days before leaving St. Augustine we did a self-guided walking tour of Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. https://www.nps.gov/casa/index.htm Taken from the walking tour guide, “…construction of the Castillo de San Marcos began in 1672, making it one of the oldest standing structures in North America.” The fort was originally built by the Spanish…
What we’ve been doing
We have been having some fun the past couple of weeks. Took the trolley tour of Old St. Augustine https://www.trolleytours.com/st-augustine with Curt and my sister Cheryl who is visiting us and my dad in Florida. Of course we stopped at two of the 23 stops, the new, as of 2013, St. Augustine Distillery http://staugustinedistillery.com and the San Sebastian Winery https://www.sansebastianwinery.com….
Just another day in paradise
Yesterday was a sunny 72 degrees in St. Augustine Beach, FL. We decided to walk and get our lunch. The place we were targeting was Obi’s Filling Station http://obisfillinstation.com/ a place we had lunch the first full day we were here. Not only is the food delicious, the place a really fun to look at with all…
A good dinner at a fun place
Last night after being cooped up in the house all day, we ventured 5 miles down the road to Redfrog & McToad’s http://redfrogandmctoads.com. It is a visually fun place to be in, very busy but we were seated immediately. The menu is so extensive that it was hard to focus on just one thing. Since…
Nails and conversation
Today was a lazy day. Got up late (stayed up too late), worked a little, did some laundry and decided to have a manicure and pedicure. I usually don’t do pedi’s in the winter because I am always wearing shoes. Manicure’s I gave up when I started making jewelry – I’d have my nails done…
Walking and dining out
Yesterday I decided to walk from our condo to A1a and see some of the sights on foot. I knew that I wanted to make a couple of shop stops along the way so I brought along a little cash and of course a card. My first stop wasn’t too far from home, Luv Ya…
A Drive and a good samaritan
Today we decided to drive down Route 1 to Daytona Beach then back on A1A right along the coast. We left after lunch and planned dinner at home so there won’t be any food pictures or favorite things to eat. The drive down was uneventful except when desperately trying to find a convenience store in a…
Catching up
We left snowy Sherburne on December 30th. Did I say snowing, it was more like whiteout conditions even as we went through parts of PA. We stopped for the night at the Comfort Inn in Winchester, VA https://www.choicehotels.com/virginia/winchester/comfort-inn-hotels/va031?source=yext – the price was right, the room was clean, the staff was friendly (that’s my review). We pulled…
