I had this plan to stay onsite for the duration of our time at Walt Disney World in Florida. My husband, however, had other ideas. It took a fair amount of persuading to convince me that we also needed some time spent off-site. We spent the first two nights of our holiday on-site at Animal […]
There is one very major landmark in St. Augustine Florida and that is the Castillo De San Marcos. It is a masonry fort and it’s the oldest in the continental U.S. Construction began back in 1672 and it was designed by the Spanish engineer Ignacio Daza.
