I live in St. Augustine😍
me and my wife have been here over 10 times are favorite vacation spot i can tell you a million things to do here!!!!
We are planning a trip for New Years. Do you think my 17 and 20 yr old boys would enjoy St Augustine? What are some other great restaurants?
Thanks for visiting my home town of St. Augustine. Born and raised here for 68 years now and I still consider it the most awesome place to live. I love my home town, awesome St. Augustine. Thanks for visiting, come back soon.
I grew up in St.Augustine and would go to Saint George street all the time as kid and play in the field outside the fortress every one would sit on the walls or on the lions bridge on the Fourth of July to watch fireworks.
Wow so cool! What a fun place to grow up!
glad i ran across this. we will be going this weekend for the first time!
The Miami Dolphins and pigeon comment cracked me up!
St Augustine is my home away from home.. in October this will be my 5th time going back. Love it so much I may move once covid clears up
Yo, that's wild, because I'm going to Saint Augustine with my sister on the 27th!
Nikki did an awesome job on her part of the video 😊. Great video all around.
"Odd-itorium"--love it!
My family moved to St. Augustine in the early 1970s. The downtown tour trains pass by my house. Unfortunately, the area is jammed with tourists 12month/yr. No break from the rush any more. Everyone misses the important fact that the tiny downtown area is surrounded with lovely neighborhoods with real families living in them. We pay hideous taxes to live downtown & It's like living on Main St. in Disney World. Plz pick up your trash and share the sidewalk with the locals. And stop honking your horns at stop signs. Pretend you're a Southerner and be nice.
We hear you! Thanks to Instagrammers, our once quiet street turned into a touristic attraction of major proportions. They now come year round to snap a picture on front of a house where a mediocre movie was filmed in the 90's. Apparently, it became millennial nostalgia! Even though there are no tours or access to this house, it doesn't deter them from coming. It's a private residence, but they do not respect the privacy of the current owners, who are an elderly couple, and go into their property to get/post the best pictures. I even saw some one climbing a tree in their residence to snap a picture. They walk in the middle of our street in droves (who uses sidewalks anymore since it's all about them), violate resident permit parking restrictions because they are "only going to take a picture" (they do not realize this goes on all day) and are throwing trash on the sidewalk. We are on our own because the city is loving the millions it's raking in from tourists so the towing warning is not being enforced. What adds insult to injury is that we pay high taxes for our house and often can't park on front of it because of illegally parked vehicles, mind you our house does not have a driveway. We had purchased our house when it was a quiet neighborhood, that's why it is really ridiculous when you think a group of millennials acting irresponsibly have transformed our quality of life in a matter of years. And yes, we will be selling soon!
alligator farm, light house great places to go over the bridge of lion
My daughter and I have been to St.Augustine several times and love the city. It is amazing!
0:39 I know they say it's a small world, but we are literally neighbors! Wow lol
16:42 Matanza actually means slaughter or killings for the plural. Red bugs (chiggers) would live in the moss and the Indians would steam them to remove the red bugs. Pizzatime on George St is much better pizza. They even import the water to make the dough from New York City.
Very cool information!! Thanks for sharing!
💖 Liked, subscribed, & clicked the bell notification button! 💖
Thanks Aunt Minnie! ♥️
I was able to watch them fire a canon here years ago. Really great place. Would love to visit again.
Glad you loved our city! So much more to see. Amazing restaurants. Ripley museum is real spooky at night with the lights out.so many cool ghost tours,. I love the empanadas at the Spanish bakery.
This was an Excellent video, Nikki you did a great job without Rick. Looking forward to seeing more of the Historic and wild Florida.

Glad to have you guys! Hope to see you at the park in passing again!
Just went…loved it. Going back Christmas.
Great video. Lots of info and sights. We are heading there to see the Christmas lights.
We live about 30 minutes north of St Augustine. I had NO idea how cool the St Augustine area was until I moved to where I live now. It's such a great area!
That looks stunning will have to visit thank you Nikki
Great video!

Christmas is even better...the lights are awesome!
I’m going there today! Watching your video ☺️
You talk about the moss mattresses. I'm from Southeast Louisiana and my grandmother used to tell me about how they would go and pick them off the trees and make moss mattresses to sleep on.
I knew when you said, “Snakes…it had to be snakes!” - Indiana Jones! Looooove those movies. I love that y’all came to St. Augustine! I live 30 minutes from there and grew up going there. There is always something to do and always fun! 🧡 It never gets old! Ha! >corny joke

Great video. I’ve never visited, but I’d like to now!
I just left there got home today from a 2 week vacation with my family, we love St. Augustine.
St. Augustine is the oldest city founded by European explorers. Oraibi, located in Arizona, was founded in 1100 by Native Americans and predates St. Augustine by 465 years.
Pensacola Florida was founded before St. Augustine.
Heading there in few days... thanks for making it interesting. I can't wait to go
Such a fun & interesting vlog guys. Nikki you did a great job & we are looking forward to seeing some more of your solo trips when you have the replacement camera.
We enjoyed our day trip in St Augustine as well! Definitely made a fun vlog💛
Have been binge watching your videos and I live in St Augustine, so fun to watch you do the tourist thing here. I also have a 2015 JKU and love that you are jeepers too. Great videos!
Thanks so much! We're visiting st. Augustine 1st weekend in Oct so this was very informative from 2 of my favorite UA-cam vloggers. Nikki you did great! I love you too Rick, don't get jealous....
Love the channel logo with you two on the Florida map! Would like it as a shirt.
Nice we, Mom and I just went here recently
Thanks for these Like being in Florida myself. X
Loved this tour of St Augustine.....you should do one at Christmas as the trains do a tour of the area with the most amazing display of Christmas lights. I have ever seen.. on a side note one of the people driving the train got too close to the cars on the street and knocked off the side mirrors on about 6 cars as she drove through the town...don't think she works there anymore...lol! Love Nikki..her smile lights up the day!
Can’t wait to see a video from the keys!
Kilwins! They are headquartered in one of my state’s favorite cities: Petoskey! Great spot for a Michigan road trip guys.
Love Pizzalley's.
Hey I live there had no idea you guys came to st Augustine I saw you at universal once
Loved watching this! So much information and history.
Welcome to my home.
A little historical note ,, Pensacola , Fl was the nations First Settlement in 1559 this predates St Augustine by six years. More important both are in Our Sunshine State..
Nikki we want to go in November where did you stay??
Hi what camera are u using
I like turtles
Saint Augustine Is the oldest Continually European Occupied City in the USA.
This will definitely be our next vacation.... after Universal because that one is already paid for. Lol
What is the go to place to stay in St. Augustine?
There are over 50 fabulous bed and breakfasts!
@@kathleenroberts7972I will have to check them out!
In North America....
Pensacola Florida was founded before St. Augustine.
St. Augustine is generally regarded as the oldest city in the U.S.A. It is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the country. St. Augustine was founded by a Spanish admiral named Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565, and it was the capital of Spanish Florida for more than 200 years.
We love St Augustine is such a scenic and relaxing place but you got to spend the night at the whale tail it's a b&b beats the hell out of a hotel.
PS St Augustine's a very haunted good time of year to go. ☠️👻👻👻👻👽💀

HARD PASS ON THE WAX MUSEUM FOR ME.
Best kept secret for a trip in Florida. Just keep out the hoards of Chinese tourists. Not many places left that don't have overcrowding of Chinese tourists.
