    I love farmers markets! The live oaks were gorgeous too! Thanks for taking us along.

    Fountain of youth is very pricy and strangely in the middle of a neighborhood it was interesting i think pretty interesting and touristy. The downtown area was our favorite. We found empanadas on the street and then wandered into all the shops. Thanks for the tour.

      You're so right! It's definitely in an unsuspecting location. Wish we would've drank from the Fountain of Youth, but we couldn't justify the price.
      The downtown is definitely the most charming part of St. Augustine! Thanks so much for watching.

    I've never been to St. Augustine! It does look really pretty at the light house. The popsicles you got look really refreshing. A lot of touristy attractions can take away the charm of a place. And 100 degrees doesn't help haha! Those gardens look so beautiful! Awe the kitties are precious!!!

      It’s a very pretty area, but all the attractions take away from some of the charm. Definitely don’t recommend visiting when it’s 100 degrees. The plus side is the popsicles tasted extra good. 😂

    Loved seeing your adventure in St. Augustine. Yes everything there is very touristy. Everything charges you, I like seeing that state park, as that is one we havent been to yet :)

      Glad we aren’t the only ones who noticed how crazy touristy it was. Highly recommend going to the state park. It was beautiful!

    Cool video, I didn’t know all these things about St Augustine! I agree the price was definitely a little steep for the fountain of youth 😮 feels like so many places are tourist traps these days 😢
    Thanks for sharing!

      Sadly most things we wanted to do had entrance costs like that. If you would do them all, it would cost a pretty penny. But it’s still a cool place to explore regardless!

    St. Augustine has always been our Florida list, and while I think it still is, y'all's video helped level expectations. We try not to do too many things in a day that we have to pay for but it seems like that would be hard do to here. We LOVE state parks so much! Obviously they're not as grand as national parks but they're never as busy and are usually reasonable to get into. Thanks for the tour y'all! We'll leave it on our list but maybe add a footnote or two 🤣 - Andrew, Candice, & Riley 🐾

      Definitely still worth a visit! I think our expectations were a little off because no one ever told us about how touristy it was, which ultimately left us a bit disappointed. Highly recommend the park if you’re in the area! Thanks for watching y’all!

    places like this unfortunately sometime loose the charm when they got touristy 🥲

      Just a little bit sadly 😕 still interesting but took away some of the charm.
