Upcoming Adventures: A Taste of St. Augustine

Headed back to my favorite town!

So I was reading the travel section of the paper on Sunday and saw one of my favorite locations being highlighted this week; St. Augustine! This upcoming Saturday, St Augustine's Amphitheater will be home to the 19th Annual Taste of St. Augustine. I was so excited to check it out, so naturally, I googled it.

The first link was Augustine.com's page on the event. It is going to be a 6 hour event, from 11 am until 5 pm and will feature some of the noted restaurants from the area, including The RainTree, San Sebastian Winery and Scarlett O'hara's. There are also discounts available at local attractions for people who attend! See the full link with pictures here.

As I checked Google, I also found a traveler's best friend: Groupon! There is a groupon for the event, getting you discount tickets for groups of 2 or 4 people. Follow this link to the groupon to purchase yours today!

Being a huge fan of St. Augustine, I am super excited to be visiting this outdoor festival on Saturday! Follow my Twitter and Instagram for my adventures there this weekend and let me know if you plan on being there as well!

Adventure Stays: Days Inn at St. Augustine

To preface this, when Mike and I are looking for hotels for our weekend trips, we are looking for cheap places to pass out after a day of exploring. We would much rather put our money towards experiences in the area and food than towards a fancy place we sleep in. That is not to say we want a junky place either. We basically look for clean hotels with a bed to sleep in and a shower in a decent location for our adventures.

The Days Inn in St. Augustine, while not the most beautiful place, checks off our must haves. We have stayed there on both of our trips and it works for us. It is an easy 10 minute walk from the major attractions and St. George Street. It has beds that have always been clean and provide all the very basic amenities. For food, there is a 24 hour Denny's at the hotel and several other food choices within minutes.

For a more detailed report, see my TripAdvisor Review and continue to look for more information coming soon regarding St. Augustine food and fun.

New Year, New Adventures!

Hurray for 2015!! My few week hiatus was for good cause, as I have adventures to tell of and hopefully more planned on the way! Delaware, Walt Disney World, Sea World, St. Augustine were all seen during my trip. I am excited to share the details with you and look forward to sharing not only my travels but my house and life adventures with you!

What is on the plate for me this month? Well besides report cards and Catholic Schools Week at school (gotta plan a lovely prayer service for that), I get to finally register my Wheels (aka my 2002 Ford Escape) as a Florida car! Yes, I have been driving around with a Delaware tag for the last 2 years, but that will all change soon enough! This month, I also get to experience the wonder of HOA fees, cleaning and saying goodbye to my first (and hopefully only) apartment, visiting new doctors, changing banks and starting a new IRA.

Sometimes, being adult is no fun.....I think I am going to go color now and watch a Disney movie.....catch you guys later......
