From Jacksonville we headed south only one hour away to St Augustine on the coast. We decided to base ourselves here while we had the motorhome for sale. St Augustine is a popular tourist destination, being the oldest continuously occupied European city in the U.S. since 1565. Therefore if we were here for a while, we had both beaches and interesting tourist sites to explore. Not sure if the kids would agree, but there was also mini-golf!
For the first week and a half, we stayed at three of RV Parks in St Augustine. The first RV Park was situated right on the beach, fantastic location, however at first glance we weren’t impressed. It looked like something left over from the 70’s in small coastal towns of Australia. It contained many permanent mobile homes on sandy sites.
By the time we did the rounds of the other RV Parks, we actual came back to this one and decided it was pretty good. We realised the permanent sites were holiday homes so it wasn’t as ‘down and out’ as first appeared. Plus the kids loved the playground, it had a huge pool that we had to ourselves and it was a hop, skip and jump to the beach – we’re obviously getting fussy!!

Halloween was approaching, so the decorations were appearing around town. Luke was starting to get excited about the ‘candy’.
Most supermarkets had some type of ‘kiddie’ trolley, which we nicknamed the ‘amazing’ trolley. On first seeing one many months ago, I said ‘wow, that’s amazing’ as I envisaged the kids happily sitting there the entire shopping expedition, which of course didn’t happen. So I would be left pushing these huge trolleys around the aisles with the kids running amuck. But the name stuck, so every time we went to a supermarket, Luke would always ask – is there an ‘amazing’ trolley.
