Hi, I’m Kelly – the official photographer for Mr. Food! The other day, I took a little road trip to see  my relatives who live in Saint Augustine, FL. Because it’s such a neat place to see, I wanted to share it with you.

First off, I had to photograph the famous lighthouse. I love that you can go inside and climb the stairs up to the top, which has spectacular views! When you first go into the gift shop to get your ticket, they give you these headsets, and as you walk around the property it explains all about the lighthouse and it’s history of St. Augustine – it’s really interesting. There is a museum to walk through also which is right across from the lighthouse and of course the gift shop. I’ve become a seeker of lighthouses now!

I also love visiting my family because they always have some new place they want to go to eat, and it’s always so good! Just like my Mr. Food family, they love to eat. The Columbia Restaurant is a favorite of ours; it’s located down town in the heart of St. Augustine surrounded by all the fun. The Palomilla Steak is delicious!! A must if you’re ever in St. Augustine.

The Gypsy Cab is another little fun place to eat at, very colorful both in décor and food. They have this Portabella Mushroom Burger that is so tasty! Reminds me of the one here at Mr. Food, the Mushroom Sliders!

Great food and great historical places to see – what more is there?

Have you ever been to St. Augustine? Any other fun summer trips you’d like to share?
