Bus Trip to St. Augustines for the Christmas Lights
Now that I do not have young children for Christmas, I find it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit, but last night we took the bus trip to St. Augustine's with friends and I would highly recommend it.
We actually used Yankee Trails, but AAA and another bus service does basically the same tour. It is called St. Augustine's Night of Lights and it was wonderful. It was cold which made it really seem more like Christmas, there were lots of people of all ages dressed for winter walking and enjoying the lights, the Trolley Ride through the center of town was great, everyone was singing along to the Christmas Carols, people were happy and waving and enjoying each others company. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has never seen the lights.

We did the light trip with AAA and enjoyed it. We had never been to St Augustine before, and would like to go back and spend a night or two seeing the sights.
Tonight we're going on a Villages golf cart tour of the lights here & will compare. Merry Christmas! |

Mary and I and a group of friends are going to see the lights with JP Tours on Jan 7th. We'll shop, eat and see the lights. No driving for me.

I just went last week with my fourth grade class and it was wonderful. The trolley ride was awesome. The kids had 3D glasses that made all of the lights look like reindeer. The adults had glasses that made the lights look like snowflakes. It was so much fun! We sang our hearts out to the Christmas carols on the trolley…especially, the song from Frozen, Let it Go!

and you will miss the most beautiful places St. Augustine has to offer - Fort Matanzas National Monument and Washington Oaks State Park.

St Augustine
We go 2 or 3 times a year usually during the week. We stay at the Bay Front Inn so we can walk everywhere we want. We really like OC Whites for dinner, or Guiffres and Goode for Polish and Greek food. We just thought it would be fun to go with a group of friends for the lights and some food. We will be going back for the Downton Abby traveling exhibit in November at the Lightner Museum.
