In a recent post where bloggers mentioned their favorite Florida spring break destination for families and St. Augustine got a vote. I liked this one because our own family has spent time in St. Augustine for Spring Break. It’s a great time to go as it’s not too hot when walking down the streets of America’s oldest city or touring the fort. I wanted to highlight the best children’s books for a trip to St. Augustine, Florida.
