Take a look at the insert… it is our imagination or could something be looking out the window?? For a structure as old as this one, I guess anything is possible!

Day 3 – The Lions Bridge (Tour of St. Augustine, Florida)

Isabella (Ingraham) Heard was 10 years old when the Bridge of Lions officially opened in 1927. She was there as one of several 9- and 10-year-old girls selected to ride on the float to the center of the drawbridge.
Now 89, she was back on the bridge to attend Friday’s Bridge of Lions Closing Ceremony. She recalled what it was like on the bridge almost 80 years ago when she and her friends rode on the float.

Day 2: The Raintree Restaurant (Tour of St. Augustine, Florida)

Yesterday, I sent you to the Devil’s Elbow Fishing Resort, but what if you didn’t catch any fish?? Or what if you were too tired to clean the fish that you caught? Not a problem. Today, I’m sending you to the Raintree Restaurant for dinner. Looks pretty cool don’t you think?
Be sure to check out the menu that is posted and of course I went straight to the dessert section. French crepes sounds awfully tempting!!

Our Week in St. Augustine… Day 1: Devil’s Elbow Fishing Resort

Ready for something a little different?? How about a few days of fishing while you are touring the St Augustine area. And if you think that you have to rough it, you would kind of be wrong. These cottages have everything you need and then some. But the rustic flavor of the “old south” is still there waiting for you.
