Girls Trip to Faver Dykes State Park, St Augustine, Florida

Greetings! I just got back from our camping trip to St Augustine. Yes I am crazy and yes, it was definitely hot and yes, there was mosquitoes the size of Texas. But you know what? I'm a camper and I love it.

Ok so I do have AC in my trailer but I still consider it camping. Hey I know what it's like....I tented for many years and I've ventured three times into the deserts of Arizona with a tent for two weeks at a time. No running water and scorpions.


This time we spent the days staying as cool as we could. First thing in the morning we hit our favorite zoological park, the Alligator Farm, then right afterwards we hit a nice splash park, we ate lunches out and visited the farmers market. In the evenings we enjoyed a few glasses of wine and my daughter roasted up some marshmallows. This was an all girls trip - no boys allowed!

Here are just a few pics from our adventure.

Mythbusters was here!




This is where my daughter takes over for the photography.

I was ordered to BE SILLY.

Lunch!
Present Moment Cafe - Raw and Vegan Options

Another nice shot care of my daughter

Notice the clean ceiling

Strawberry Fields Smoothie

And unfortunately no food shots! We were too hungry after the splash park to remember to take a photo of the most important part.
Our very messy camp site - no judgement - packing to leave the next morning.
Here is my daughter trying to roast marshmallows over our smoke signal fire.
I swear that wood must have been wet.

Until next time!

  1. Dawn,
    All I can say is Holy S***! Can't believe you guys did all that work! And such a great job too. My wife says you could have bought a new one easier...LOL.We're proud of you.

    I need to get back down to Skidaway...enjoyed it last time I was there. Jackie keeps bugging me to go to the beach. Our favorite is Hunting Island, SC. Hard to get a good site but worth the wait. It's our favorite and we can take the dogs on the beach.

    Enjoy the fruits of your labor...

    2. Mike and Jackie, thanks for the response! Yes I could have definitely bought a new one more easily. This way was just MUCH less expensive!

  2. We're T@Bers too. MAX-S. Love the experience. Comfort enuf (toilet, shower,sink,a/c,TV,stove and fridge) but still camping for sure.
