5 days in St. Augustine went by fast and I just notice, its time to head back home and mother-inlaw has to flew back to North.
The planning was so quick considering the first plan has cancelled going to San Francisco were I have to see my friend but sad to say they're facing some important family matters and its not a good idea to bother her.Though the last minute cancellation of the trip to San Francisco doesn't bother to us, hubby understand the problem and doesn't bother to him and cancel the plan,then find a place to explore. The last minute wasn't bad we have to adjust the days because of the availability of the hotel we want to stay in and booked the,Casa Monica Hotel.
Drove all the way to St. Augustine,Florida a city with abundant history, an enjoyable coastal weather along with loads to try and do and discover. It truly is, perhaps the most well-known European settled city in America, even now, running under its authentic name,founded 1565.
