Going to be visiting St. Augustine this weekend with my wife. I haven't been there since I was a kid. Besides the fort, anything I should put on the must see or do list?
Thanks. |

Ripley's Believe it or not They have a good ghost tour too, you drive around St. Augustine and they tell you all the Ghost stories, then go back to the Ripley house and hear the stories of that location... The oldest street in America is a good walk, has the fun stuff like the oldest school house in America, etc. |

I liked the tram tour they cram a lot of history into a 20 minute drive and you can hop off and see St George st and hop back on a different one (same company/color) later.
sit at the edge so you can look up at the architecture. Flagler was the man! he built railroads, hotels and schools. |

DON'T miss the chocolate factory on St George St!! Also... depending on your budget, The Rain Tree has some of the best fillets in town with cracked peppercorns.... There's a place in Anastasia Beach (Where I think you can still drive on the beach) called The Oasis... superb burgers and seafood; and live bands. Suddenly I'm hungry! David Also... there's the St Augustine Alligator farm that's kinda cool! |
the living muesem/re-enactor deal down from the mill top is pretty good for the $ if your into that kinda thing plus they give you a coupon for 1/2 cost ber/wine at thier little tavern  the sangria was pretty damn good LOL. The blacksmith is an odd fellow, decent guy, but just odd. lolthere is also a second fort south of the inlet. But for the life of me can not recall what it is named or called. I know you take a ferry over to it, becuase it sits on a small island in the middle of the ICW. |
