We arrived in St., Augustine on Saturday, Memorial Day Weekend. This trip, we booked the entire 9-night stay at Sun Outdoors RV Resort in site 125. We have stayed here several times before and always enjoyed staying here. It is a big campground that used to be called Compass RV Resort, but Jess, the owner sold out to a corporation. It is still very nice, but Jess and his wife made it feel like you were staying with friends.
The site we chose to book was site 125, which is way back in the corner of the new Oasis section. It has a generous area with nice pavers and with a natural area of bushes and trees that block views of the neighbors. When we arrived there, the campground was totally full for the holiday, but at least half the campground left on Monday. The kitties really enjoyed this space and we did too.
Finnegan actually enjoyed sitting out in his bag and Bentley loved sitting out in his stroller and harness with the top up. He never even tried to jump out. He loved scanning the bushes for wildlife.
The weather was perfect. It was in the 70's, with NO RAIN. We couldn't ask for anything better. We had a late lunch on Saturday and so did Ryan and family, so we went over to their house for ice cream and cake instead of dinner.
On Sunday, we all went to the Fountain of Youth. We had been there about 40 years ago when Ryan was about 5, but we didn't remember much. It was a big tourist attraction, but a lot of good history also.
I just couldn't get over how tall Emma (10) and Trevor (9) were.
The F o Y has peacocks everywhere. They squawk very loud back and forth, & climb the trees, even with their very long tail feathers.
And of course, we all had to get a drink from the F o Y, although none of us got any younger and the water taste a bit nasty. It's obviously not filtered water.
The grounds there were very nice, and they had lots of historical sites & educational info.
These clay pots (Tinajones) were used to catch rainwater. They would bury them halfway underground to keep the water cool and they weighed about half a ton.
This albino peacock was really proud to show us all his white feathers.
They had a really nice B B Que place at F o Y and we had a late lunch there. The food was really good. I brought Emma a sunhat and Trevor a bucket hat. The inside of Trevor's had beetles, & bugs.
This was the mission church, even though it looked like an old barn.
