Dinner at Vilano Beach
From North Beach, we decided to go to dinner at Cap’s On The Water just north at Vilano Beach. Driving up, a sign said all parking was free valet parking. The parking area was a sandy yard between palm trees. Although we were early, the lot was rather full. They don’t take reservations, so we…

Flagler College
We have toured beautiful St. Augustine before, but have wanted to see the Tiffany stained glass windows in Flagler College, so we signed up for a tour. It was pouring down rain as we found a parking place for my big truck with two kayaks on top, then walked a few blocks to the college.…

North Beach Camp Resort
I rate this campground a 9.5. It is a large campground with @150 sites, but you don’t feel it. The sites are large. Especially the back-in sites, you don’t see or hear anything.

Lightner Museum, St. Augustine

Saint Augustine Hop-on-Hop-off Tour
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 After a week on the road it was laundry morning. The laundry and bathroom/showers at North Beach Camp Resort are very nice. I caught up on the news and a few other things before everyone was ready to go at 11:30. In St. Augustine we took a hop on-hop off trolly…
