    Nice Nature Stop

    Brought the pups here for an afternoon stroll. They enjoyed the trail but it is pretty short. Also, despite what you may see elsewhere online, this park does not participate in the National Park Bark Ranger program.

    Nice drive!

    We drive out to the fort when we visit St. Augustine. It's a lovely drive, short, and interesting views. Dogs are not allowed on the ferry to the Fort, but they are allowed on the grounds. The Fort can be seen from the dock and if you have a good zoom you can take pictures.
