A Day At The Beach

Tweet

We went to a beach resort, 45-minute drive from our house, last Saturday. May is a rainy month on this island already but it was surprisingly very sunny that day. Swimming on the beach and building a sand castle are included on RJ’s to-do list this summer break so he was very happy that day. The water was so clear and there were small fishes swimming near the shoreline.

I was the official photographer slash videographer of the group. I was planning to upload everything that I took while we were still in the resort so everyone who wasn’t able to come can see how the kids had a great time at the beach. But aside from the fact that I forgot to bring the laptop, the resort does not have an internet connection also.

RJ wants to spend another day at the beach, a different beach. But he’s the only one in the family who’s still on vacation. The school year, in most school’s in the country, has officially opened yesterday. RJ’s school opening is on June 15. He has to wait for a school break, and for the rainy season to end -maybe in November, he can have another fun day at the beach.

Are you planning a vacation that is enjoyable and educational at the same time? Why not a Florida getaway with your family! St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra & The Beaches is the perfect place for your next vacation.

  

We'll definitely get a suite at St. Francis Inn, a historic Bed and Breakfast with old world charm, located in St. Augustine Florida (the nation's oldest city). I don't have to worry what to feed my son, a picky eater, because the stay at St. Francis Inn includes a gourmet buffet breakfast and specialty coffee drinks, evening social hour with complimentary beverages and tasty treats, and nightly homemade desserts.

My son will surely love to take a Cruise on the Pirate Ship, Black Raven. The Best Professional Pirate Actors in Florida entertains people, young and old alike, by singing pirate songs and telling stories of pirate and privateer attacks. I am very sure that RJ will enjoy the pirate hats, face painting and games with the crew. I hope someone will give us a giftcard for the cruise.

The charming seaside village, Ponte Vedra, lies along a stretch of brilliant, blue Atlantic Ocean. The small town, which can be found between St. Augustine and Jacksonville, offers some amazing amenities as well as educational attraction. The GTM Reserve’s Environmental Education Center is a one-of-a-kind learning center for people of all ages. The center contains natural & cultural history exhibits, aquariums, an audiovisual theatre/auditorium, a laboratory, and a nature store. Outdoor recreational activities include a picnic pavilion, 10 miles of hiking trails, 4 beach access points, fishing area and 2 small boat ramps.

There are more attractions and historical places to add to the itinerary. The Alligator Farm, the legendary Fountain of Youth, a trolley tour of Old City, the thrill to the oddities of the Ripley’s Believe it Not Museum and a lot more.  Visit http://www.romanceliveshere.com/ and start planning your dream vacation now.
