St Augustine Area
Tampa Area
Tampa is so big that sometimes the best places get lost among the popular spots.
This is one of my most favorite places to go during the ‘colder’ months. I'm all about sea life and manatees are at the top of my list. This is such a neat place to go and it's FREE!! The viewing center has plenty of space to watch the manatees…keep ...
Manatee Viewing Center
I mean…cats and coffee…can you really go wrong??!! This place is special as they provide rescued cats with a temporary foster home. There is a fee to go into the cafe and you need to book ahead of time. The fee is to help for the care of the cats unt...
Cats and Caffeine
Dunedin Area
Dunedin is a great place to visit and walk their downtown, grab a bite to eat or just sit with an ice cream and people watch.
I love the Beatles so I enjoy going to this museum anytime I am in Dunedin. They have a great collection of memorabilia and the people that run it are lifelong fans so they are knowlegable. It's free to visit, but I believe they take donations to hel...
Penny Lane Beatles Museum
This is just one of the cute little shops that I love in Dunedin. They have beachy items and clothing, funny tea towels, yummy smelling lotions and candles and so much more. Stop here if you're looking for a fun or unique gift!
Tipsy Mermaid Boutique
I love arcades! This place is a bar with tons of classic arcade games and several pinball machines. They also offer a food and local craft beer. Tetris and Just Dance are definitely my jam when I visit!
Reboot Arcade & Bar
St Augustine Area
I LOVE St Augustine- it is the oldest city in America. It's so rich with history, great restaurants, the beach and fun shopping. If I wasn't such a Gulf-side girl, I would live here!
First off, I can't even believe this place is a real college that students take classes at. It's GORGEOUS!! I want to go to college there!! Flagler College used to be a hotel so there is a lot of history to learn about. You can take a guided historic tour to see a few spots inside. Be sure to take in the gorgeous architectural designs on the outside of the...
Flagler College
Whether you have limited time in St Augustine or a long weekend or more, this is the best way to see everything. I've been to St Augustine multiple times for a long weekend and I will do the trolley tour every single time because it's so convenient a...
St. Augustine Tours and Sightseeing with Old Town Trolley
If you're going to be in the area, definitely check out the schedule of performers. This venue has great seating with some seats under a shade awning. I've seen a few artists here and have to say there isn't a bad seat in the place!
The St. Augustine Amphitheatre
The historic building that houses the museum is absolutely gorgeous! In the center there is a courtyard that is so beautiful and peaceful. Plan at least a couple of hours to go through the museum; there are so many interesting pieces to see. The buil...
Lightner Museum
One of the things I love about St Augustine are the oak trees. So you can't miss a trip to the Old Senator tree. They say the tree is over 600 years old! It is in the most unusual place in town…in the middle of a motel property, so not much else to d...
The Old Senator Tree
I can't explain how at peace I feel walking through this property. It has the main church, a museum, a cemetery and the large cross. The museum has so many interesting pieces, the cemetery is very old and absolutely gorgeous, and the cross is an asto...
Mission Nombre de Dios
