Hey Sassy,
Saint Augustine is always a great visit. On the main thoroughfare (the cobble stone street) there is a little place that sits behind a chocolate shop. It is not mentioned on travel boards or in the brochures, but it is a Bakery in a little stone building in the back yard behind the tall coquina wall. You can get a mini loaf of stone baked bread, a small bowl of picadillo, a cookie and soda for like 5 bucks. Really very good. and a cheap find.
There is a new pirate museum, it was a bit pricey but decent. The trolley is always kind of neat and relaxing..... student and military discounts can be had... go to the booth on the main thoroughfare.
On the trolley trip, you can stop by the Monks Vineyard for tastings. ALso, there is a para sailing boat, helicopter rides and lots of other historical places to go. As the nations oldest city... lots to be seen
Best of luck,
Mick
