St. Augustine was the start of our Florida winter snowbird destination. It had been a few years since we last visited Florida, and after the previous winter’s cold, wet weather in California, we were looking forward to beaches, sunshine, and warmth. We were not disappointed — St. Augustine delivered on every front, from its gorgeous beaches and ancient masonry fort to its charming pedestrian streets and lively martini bars.
