Add to the List of Places to Visit: St. Augustine, Florida
One of my life dreams is to get a RV and travel to every state in the U.S. I imagine being one of those wandering traveling writers...especially when I hear about events such as Uptown Saturday Night in St. Augustine, Florida.
History lesson for the day: St. Augustine is the Nation's Oldest City and was actually discovered even before the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock!
However, what I find fascinating and one of the reasons I would visit is the unique St. Augustine shopping opportunities and being able to meet all the artists from that area. I was looking at pictures of St. Augustine and saw many antique stores and art galleries that line the streets of this charming city. It reminds me of San Diego in a way.
I get a kick out of finding treasures for the home and giving them new life. Before I got into painting and making jewelry I used to scour the thrift shops here in San Diego looking for milk glass and vases to create flower arrangements.
Well, Uptown Saturday Night in St. Augustine is a huge event that takes place on the last Saturday of October and November. We've already missed the Uptown event this past Saturday, but the next one will take place on November 24th. Many of the shops will open houses where they serve wine and refreshments.
St. Augustine has now been added to the list of cities to visit when I get that RV!
