The last few days we have done some running around. We did get to the Bulow Plantation where the Sugar Mill is and the house use to be. Quite a place and lots to see and do.

We also went to the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light house that was built around 1887. It is 175 feet tall and it is along way to the top. Ask me I know as I climbed it.

Today we went up the coast with our first stop at Washington Oak and Gardens State Park. Not too much there but there is a real nice garden and the house of the Young family.

Then off to Fort Matanzas and old Spanish fort that was built in 1740 to stop the British from attaching St. Augustine from the inland water way. Got to ride a ferry to it as it is on an island. It is a very small fort and didn't need much to defend the water way. Lots of fun to see all the history.

Then we went to Fort Castillo de San Marcos that protected St. Augustine. This is a large fort and had over 77 canons and was attacked several times by the British. It never fell to the attackers.
