This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

Joined the Snow Birds here at St. Augustine

So should we admit that we’ve gotten to a new station in life?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Let’s see…Camping at Anastasia State Park only a couple of miles across the Lion Bridge to the old town of St. Augustine.  139 sites filled with RVs from all the northern Northeast and Midwest states; and the more mature taking walks and enjoying the beach and environs.

Shopping old town and eating at the Columbia, a branch restaurant of the famous Cuban one in Tampa – Cuban sandwiches, gazpacho, plantain chips, and sangria --  Really GOOD! 

Checking out the Alligator Farm…. oodles of gators, both allis and crocs, cool birds; and for the young (at heart?) a zip line course.  Mustn’t forget to mention the gift shop with plush alligators and snakes. These are the non-venemous ones; learned this bit of
info at a reptile talk!

Getting a haircut at Prices Barber Shop.  Not much has changed since 1931 when the shop opened; at least not the taxidermy animals and fish.  We do think that the barbers are not the original ones.  Nice haircut too; although I think its good, and if not, Liz will fix when we get home.

Walking the farmers market with lots of chatzka’s, but then also farm fresh (and actually from Florida) veggies – nothing like a “real” tomato.  Then a stop at the fish market and picking up some fresh caught, Atlantic shrimp.

 

Being a snow bird is aok!!
