Saint Augustine Travel Blogs

Various photographs of Saint Augustine, Florida and surrounding areas. I'll update on a regular basis as I take new pictures!

The first tower in St. Augustine was built by the Spanish in the late 1500's to function as a watchtower, not as a lighthouse. The tower was replaced by a building that was built, rebuilt and enlarged over the next 200 years by the Spanish. In 1821 Florida became a U.S. territroy. In 1824 a lens wa…

Although it's located less than an hour away from my house, I've only been to Marineland three times.  Once when I was younger, once about 5 years ago and then again in April of 2008.  My cousins, Brad and Jonathan as well as their parents, Uncle Brad and Aunt Vickie were in town for the …

Somehow the "blossoms" of nature gravitated into my lens.... Oh, and a fair feathered beach friend....

Our original plan had us staying the night down near the Space Center but we are presently a full day behind after spending the extra day in New Orleans, so today we decided we could make up a little by driving on north. We got all the way to St. Augustine before I decided to say enough. Not a whol…

We went to Ripley's Believe It or Not on Saturday, and then spent the rest of the sunshine time walking around from the BnB to the Fort �" which was a good 20-30 minute walk back. I said the rest of the sunshine time, because we are starting to walk back when it starts dripping... then sprin…

We took a day trip to the St. Augustine lighthouse. It was more beautiful then I had imagined. We had an amazing day. The sky was clear. It was like $8 to climb the 219 steps to the top. I would have climbed to the top if my Step-mother could have made it. The Lighthouse was standing tall in the be…

From Jacksonville, we drove south on I-95.  After about 30 miles, we exited at exit 318 to connect with SR-16 East we made a right turn on San Marcos Avenue which became Castillo Drive/SR-A1A.  We turned left into the Castillo de San Marcos parking lot.  At the admissions booth, I sh…

Each year I make time to vist St. Augustine. One of my favorite things to do there is to find a nice spot on the waters edge and watch the blue water sailboats set and weigh anchor. This small city is a great place for boats to rest while sailing up or down the East coast of the United States. …

I was stationed in CO, so I took some leave and I flew from Denver into Orlando, my parents picked me up and we headed to Boca Ratun FL to stay at my Uncles condo on the beach.   Of course the sands in FL are so beautiful like sugar......  The ocean was beautiful too.&…

Daytona Beach and St. Augustine FL.

Chimney Rock in NC is like an 18th century town 1 hour southeast of Asheville. Very quaint for those who love to get away from it all and the stressers of everyday life. Also, imagine hiking where "The Last of the Mohicans" was filmed.

Casey and I went to St. Augustine for our "semi" honeymoon. We are still in school (at the University of Central Florida) and couldn't go out of the country, but we will soon! :o) Casey has a hand held digital that came in handy on this trip. We only had a few days, so we couldn't do everything we wanted to do, but since St. Augustine's so close, we can always return...

I spent 4 days in St Augustine, Florida and this is the first spanish city... was great. Stay here is very cheap and the city is beautiful and a lot of history. I am sharing some pics I took with my Nikon D40. Enjoy it!
