It’s January… my birthday month!
While I normally take a big birthday trip (traditionally to wine country), this year is looking a little different but just as exciting.
I am headed to St. Augustine this weekend for a much-needed reunion with some college besties.
I have been to St. Augustine for day trips and back as a kid for class field trips, however this is the first time I will be exploring the city for a full long weekend.
While, we don’t have a set itinerary, which is definitely not like my type A over planning self, I am hoping to check some things off my to do list.
- An amazing Cajun style seafood restaurant looked in the heart of old town. I have not been to this particular location, but I have ate at their Tallahassee and Lakeland restaurants and I am so excited to get their famous red fish dish.
Lunch and Mojitos at The Columbia
- You are probably wondering, as a Tampa native why I have The Columbia listed on my to do list, considering we have multiple locations here in town? Well I love it that much! Plus, my friends need to experience the deliciousness and who doesn’t love a good midday mojito?!
Drinks at Ice Plant
- Every person I have asked, has recommended Ice Plant if not for dinner, at least drinks. I have to know what all the hype is about.
- Our main reason for going this specific weekend is to check out the last weekend of Night of Lights. The whole town is decked out in Christmas lights, and I am a fan of Christmas any time of year.
Clearly my to do list isn’t very long, so I would love to hear your recommendations for St. Augustine!
