Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum was hosting a free show outside where there were sword swallowers showing off their abilities. It was pretty cool.
We first went to Colonial Quarter which takes you through the 1500-1800's of what happened in St Augustine. Our tour guide was Grimm who was incredible! He was hilarious and made the history come alive. They are building a boat there, have a watch tower, forge, and a lot more stuff. You can walk by the Colonial Quarter and not even know it was there.
The Colonial Quarter house has this balcony with a really nice view of St George St |
Loved our tour guide Grimm |
love this live oak tree with the huge lanterns hanging down |

We had a groupon for $20 worth of chocolate at Whetstone Chocolate factory. Where we were able to buy a bunch of yummy fudge and this frozen hot chocolate drink that was to die for.
We then went to The Collage restaurant that some friends recommended. We didn't have a groupon for this - wish we had. But it was delicious.
Our final stop for the day was the Ripley's Ghost Train tour. I think we are totally done with Ghost tours. This one was the most boring of all of them. The guides were not entertaining. It was so bad that we wanted to leave early but we had the EMF readers and the laser pointer that came with the tour to use. I would not recommend this Ghost tour.
