I don't take many vacations, but when I do have the time one of my favorite cities to visit is St. Augustine, which is where we went this week with my favorite person.
Founded back in 1565 by a Spanish admiral who would become Florida's first governor, St. Augustine is pretty ancient (as far as US cities go, anyway.) The architecture of the many churches in the city, like the poured concrete structure of Grace United Methodist church, built by Henry Flagler, is unusual and often stunning.
We had dinner at my favorite restaurant, The Colombia, which is basically heaven for anyone who likes Spanish cuisine.
It's definitely a touristy town, but still lovely, with countless little alleyways and gorgeous spots.
You can see most of the old town in a day on foot, or take a trolley ride around to look at the historic buildings.
Not a bad way to spend a day with the family. :)
