St. Augustine, Florida: America’s Enchanting Oldest City
Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are wonderful travel experiences close to home. I’m lucky living in Florida because there are a lot of great destinations within a few hours’ drive and the weather is fine for travel almost 365 days a year. A road trip and a long weekend can make for a fun and relaxing mini-vacation almost any time.
One of my favorite getaway destinations is the city of St. Augustine, just a couple of hours up the Atlantic coast. As you probably know, St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565 and is the oldest continually-occupied, European-established settlement in the continental United States. Here’s an article about St. Augustine by Noreen Kompanick for Travel Pulse on MSN.com: https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/st-augustine-america%e2%80%99s-enchanting-oldest-city/ar-BBMSyos?ocid=SK2KDHP
Next time you’re just itching to get away, give a thought to the close-by locations that you want to visit – someplace you’ve never been or someplace you long to see again.
