Sunrise at the beach at Anastasia State Park
{By Kelly}
After Paynes Prairie State Park in Gainesville, we headed east to St. Augustine for a wedding. One of our favorite places to camp is Anastasia State Park. This campground has the beach, shady oak hammocks, tidal marshes, and lots to see and do in historic St. Augustine. It's also the town of Justin's alma mater, Flagler College.

We got the Riveted Roost set up at site 47 in the Shark Eye loop. While sites are fairly close together, there's usually some vegetation to provide a little privacy.
Home sweet home for the weekend
Once we got settled, we headed to town to the St. Augustine Distillery for a tour (offered every 30 minutes), as well as lunch and cocktails at the adjoining Ice Plant Bar. The menu and crafted cocktails are amazing. Be sure to make this a stop on your St. Augustine itinerary.
If you prefer wine over liquor, enjoy a tour and the rooftop bar at San Sebastian Winery. Another one of our favorite stops in St. Augustine is Cousteau's Waffle & Milkshake Bar, located downtown.

 Great tour and free samples! |  Cocktails at Ice Plant |
Of course, our main reason for this trip to St. Augustine was a wedding. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the Matanzas River from the rooftop venue and celebrated well into the evening.

We had a great time in St. Augustine - from swimming in the ocean and hiking through the oak hammock, to walking around downtown and seeing the sights.
Parting is such sweet sorrow

Washington Oaks, beachside
On our way home from St. Augustine, we stopped and had a picnic lunch at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park in Palm Coast, FL. Beachside, there are beautiful coquina rock formations, and the main park offers massive live oaks, picnic pavilions and lush gardens. Learn more about this lovely park.
