Christmas In Florida- Day 6

Our first day in St. Augustine was a lot of fun, but we needed some recovery time so we let ourselves sleep in considerably the next day. It was time for brunch when we set out from the hotel, but it was worth it!

House-made croissants, poached eggs, and coffee for 

brunch from Petit Pleasures hit the spot. From there we set

out to see more of the town and enjoy the sunny weather.

One of the main shopping streets

Gorgeous hotel I'd love to stay in sometime...

Lightner Museum history

The square in from of the Lightner Museum

...and the courtyard in the center of the property- beautiful

Dream-worthy property just down the street

By this time it was late afternoon, so it was just

the right time for a quick tour of San Sebastian winery

The self-guided tour was short and sweet, but there were

several knowledgeable employees that made it interesting and

we found some great Christmas gifts in the gift shop :)

From there, we walked back to the car, dropped off our goodies, and

headed to the Fountain Of Youth Archaeological Park (I couldn't pass that up!)

There was a great old photo at the entrance to the park

We got our passes and headed into the park to explore

One of the old drinking cups

Still running! There was a stack of cups nearby, so Vince,

Colin, and I all had a few glasses for good measure ;)

There were a lot of interesting facts posted to provide context for the structures

Sample boat and housing

Statue of Ponce De Leon

The park was a great way to end our time in historic St. Augustine, and the weather was icing on the cake. We headed back to the car, made a quick stop at the outlets on the way out of town, and started driving back toward Orlando.
