In stead of taking another Carribean Carnival Cruise this year for Christmas, we decided we'd like to make a trip to Florida the week of Christmas. We'd be traveling from central Indiana, straight South to ... well ... where?
I suggest St. Augustine, Florida and Anastasia State park. Plenty to see and do in St. Augustine, the oldest continually inhabited city in North America. The park is right on the ocean. Tour Flager College, the light house, Alligator Farm, and the Spanish Fort Castillo de san Marcos. Another suggestion would be Jacksonville and camp at Katherine Hanna City Park, again on the ocean. See the first European settlement in North America, Fort Caroline and the last preserved slave plantation in Florida, Kingsley Plantation. Eat at Clark's Fish Camp, an experience like none other anywhere in the world. Visit the Cummer Museum. Or perhaps stay on Ameila Island at Fort Clinch State park, right on the ocean. Tour the old fort, golf at the great courses, and have a drink at the oldest bar in North America. Further North in Georgia is Savannah and Skidaway Island State park. Also is Stephen C. Foster Sate park where you can rent a boat and travel the "trails" in the Okeefeenokee Swamp and see alligators. Of course, you could further south in Florida to the "Space Coast" and get your fill of NASA, rockets, and space exploration.
