For our 16 year Anniversary, we wanted to see a hidden gem while we were in Virginia for the season. It’s a waterfall only the locals know about in Staunton, VA. You would have no idea it was there unless you were told about it. Google Maps will take you to Folly Mills Creek, butContinue reading “Folly Mills Falls and Skyline Drive, VA”

There are certain things in St Augustine that a free to residents. The Lightner is one of those, it’s free to explore on Sundays.

The Colonial Quarter
The Colonial Quarter is around $13 for a ticket, but we were able to get in for a local deal that was going on for a BOGO ticket. It was a cloudy and some what windy day, but it was also cold. Since it’s 95% outside, we recommend going on a warmer day for sure.Continue reading “The Colonial Quarter”

Helen Mellon Schmidt Park
This park is off the beaten path. It’s behind a private community in St. Augustine on the intracoastal side. It’s a wonderful hidden gem. After driving down the short paved section past the private community ( not turning into the actual community), the road turns to dirt. You will see the small sign driving intoContinue reading “Helen Mellon Schmidt Park”
Lighthouse Pier
It’s been a topsy turvey year. So many things going to and many places were closed. Since hubs went on the Appalachian Trail in April, I’ve been busy working on his videos on our YouTube channel (Southeastern RV Living and Appalachian Trail Hiking), and haven’t been writing as much for the blog. Forgive me forContinue reading “Lighthouse Pier”
