Beavers in the Park

After being in more secluded areas, the crowds were a definite change of pace. (I’m personally not a fan.) The ranger at the castillo (Spanish for ‘castle’, but this structure is…
The Beavers enjoyed one last breakfast at the Kingsland Hampton Inn before packing up and heading down the road. After visiting Cumberland Island yesterday, our goal today was to explore the historical sites in Saint Augustine. Our first stop was Fort Matanzas National Monument. If you read about our visit to Fort Caroline, you’ll remember…
