 Join me on this very hot summer morning in the charming coastal town of Vilano Beach, Florida. We’ll take a relaxing walking tour of this tiny beach town, and soak in the sun while we’re at it. It’s ‘Street to the Beach’ time, baby! Why do we do Street to the Beach? Because all of life’s greatest paths lead out to the beach. We had just finished a sunrise livestream (linked below), and the heat of the summer sun was really intensifying as I filmed this video. I do hope you enjoy some of the seaside scenery in this adorable town, and let me know… do you get as excited as I do when you see a rooster? Love you, Christine If you’re new to the channel, welcome to a community of dreamers. Either way, definitely be sure to say hello!

Another year and another gingerbread house competition is in the books. Thanks for voting and joining along in all the holiday fun and traditions. And many extra thanks for joining me in my first ever drink of egg nog. It only took me over 43 years, and a very fancy and elegant glass moose mug, to be brave enough to try a glass. Cheers... Much love, good tidings, and cheer sent your way, Christine P.S. See you tomorrow morning for December in St. Augustine live. #diy #gingerbreadhouse #vlogmas ___  11/24/2024 0 Comments 376) Walking Tour of Spanish Street and Treasury Street in St. Augustine, Florida We certainly were treated with a surprise toward the very end of yesterday's live stream in St. Augustine, Florida! In case you missed Thursday's walking tour, definitely go ahead and check this one out. And share out the stream with others who may want to go on an adventure together. A lot of ground was covered yesterday, and we had a fabulous time doing it. Christmas has officially arrived in historic downtown St. Augustine, and it was so lovely to see it. This town really knows how to go all out for the holidays and I am here for it lol. All the lights, garland, wreaths, and ornaments are being displayed throughout the town. The tree is up in the Plaza. And we even saw the main man himself hanging out at various locations throughout town. It's important to keep your wish list handy when in St. Augustine, because you never know where and when Santa Claus will appear there. Plus, the 31st Annual St. Augustine Nights of Lights officially begins tomorrow! (Saturday, November 23, 2024 through January 26, 2025) And you can see the lights by boat, or you can see them by trolley. Ding, Ding! And lastly, you can see the lights by simply walking around town and soaking in all the magic on foot. Do let me know if you've ever been to the St. Augustine Nights of Lights? Are you planning on attending this year? On this walk we started with sunrise on the Matanzas River, walked the lower level of the Castillo de San Marco exterior, made our way over to the Perky Pelican Christmas Shoppe - to show the distance between the Christmas store and the rest of the downtown. And then we walked down the entirety of Spanish Street and Treasury Street, adding two streets to our list of walking tours on this day! Some parts of both those streets were new to me as well so it was really exciting to see some of the inns and beautiful old homes along the way. But at the end of our walk there was an unanticipated and special surprise, so definitely go check it out if you haven't caught the replay yet. I must say there's always something special, or wild, going on in Florida, and this day was no exception. You never know when you may run into a pirate ship either! Love ya, Christine P.S. See you tomorrow for Saturday in St. Marys, Georgia! St. Marys is a beautiful coastal river town on the border of Florida and Georgia, and we'll be checking out the riverfront together. Maybe Santa will be there too, who knows? #walkingtour #staugustine #florida ___

For at least a few more days anyway. If you have a taste for a soft pretzel while strolling down historic St. George Street, there are two fine options and I've had both. Ben's Soft Pretzels being the first, and then there's the very well known Auntie Anne's. This was an Auntie Anne's day, with some pretzel nuggets - to bring home for Genevieve, maybe? Ben's has a beautiful courtyard situated behind the shop, and Auntie Anne's is located inside the entrance to Pierre's Pub. Both pretzel shops are on the same street, on the same block, within sight of one another. Both serve fresh, hot, buttered pretzels, and both are fabulous. I'll make a point to get Ben's the next time pretzels are on the menu for the day. Do you ever just get a taste for a soft pretzel?? Love you, Christine P.S. Enjoy the remaining few days of October this week! Ben's Soft Pretzels is located at: 54 St. George St. St. Augustine, Florida 32084 Their hours are 12pm-8pm, 7 days a week.

   Good evening fellow dreamers. Happy Friday Night LIVE - and Happy Hallow-Stream! To get into the spirit of Halloween, let’s bake pumpkin cookies this evening! Specifically, we’re making Betty Crocker Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cookies with cream cheese frosting. We’ve never made this recipe before so I’m extra curious how they will turn out!

So thanks for being here tonight for some Halloween fun. And if you’re new to the channel - welcome to a community of dreamers. But either way, definitely say hello!

Thanks for celebrating another spooky week of Hallow-Stream with us on Friday Night Live! Our first time baking pumpkin cookies was a success, and they were quite delicious as well! I am glad that we had a few different types of sprinkles to choose from also, but either way the cookies were just right. Plus, the pumpkin taste was not overpowering in the least, and that was one of my main curiosities when we purchased this baking mix. If you end up making these pumpkin cookies, do let me know what you think! And I'll see you bright and early Monday morning for our sunrise live. Love you, Christine #baking #pumpkin #halloween ___   8/23/2024 0 Comments 313) Peace, Love, & Little Donuts! My Review of the Location in Historic Downtown St. Augustine, Florida What's in a name, they ask? Well, maybe just about everything... I finally made it to this adorable little donut shop.  After many years and countless visits to St. Augustine, I can check another spot off my list of must-tries! The donuts are fabulous, by the way.  I had always been intrigued by the oh-so-very simple, yet very descriptive name of this small donut shop. And I've never met a carbohydrate I didn't like, so it was truly a match made in bakery heaven that I purchased breakfast here after our livestream ended on Wednesday.
This shop serves mini donuts, and I ordered a box of 'One Dozen Groovy' - with a total of six powdered sugar and six cinnamon sugar. You can pick whatever toppings you want from an abundance of choices, and they are all made-to-order fresh - each and every donut. This box is priced at $15.00, but keep in mind, there is a credit card transaction fee that is also charged, and I didn't know until after I paid via Apple Pay. Not complaining - every penny does make a difference - so I do like to quote prices and provide as much information for y'all as possible during all of my travels and adventures.  My dozen box of groovy goodness!
And then it happened. In one simple bite, I was immediately transported back into my childhood. My breakfast dreams at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach in Walt Disney World, standing outside at the fried donut stand. A true breakfast of champions, before going on water slides all day long and swimming in the massive wave pool. Funny how that pool may have well been the size of the Atlantic Ocean to a small child. It's so silly because it's been so very many years since I've been to either one of those water parks, but with one little donut held in my hand, I can be transported back to those hot summer days of pure fun, laughter, and cinnamon sticky fingers.  Back in St. Augustine, after ordering my mini donuts, I went to browse through their merchandise for sale. They have some really fun tie dye shirts - that I may have to get in the future. Actually, I had the shirt in my hand until I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was coral, and it was calling to me.
When I got in my car, turned up the AC, savored that cold wind blowing straight in my face, and had a moment to look at my purchases, I couldn't help but think they had this hat done absolutely perfectly. For one, it was my favorite color in the whole world. And second, those three symbols on the hat really describe my YouTube Channel without really ever saying a word.  I dream of a world at peace with one another. I love each and every one of you. And even as we all have our struggles and trials and challenges and maybe even some real hard pain - we all keep going, one step at a time. And while we are on this adventure together, and the journey may be a long one, and it may be full of sweat and tears... It truly is my hope that we can come together over a cup of coffee, a sunrise or a sunset, and wish each other friendship and good cheer in this, our beautiful life. And when all else fails, it is my hope, and a dream of dreams, that there's nothing in this world that a good, freshly fried donut can't fix.

So after living in Florida for many years, and visiting St. Augustine countless times, I finally found the perfect St. Augustine hat! Check it out - it's from the 'Pirates Paradise' Gift Shop, located on the historic St. George Street. The hat was $16.99, and in my favorite color - coral. It's dry fit, and was worth the multi-year wait, lol. I had passed up many heavy cotton St. Augustine hats over the years, and the dry fit ones I'd seen in the past weren't intriguing to me either. This one is, well, perfect. Let me know what you think of it? I'll be wearing it during our next St. Augustine livestream for sure. And I'll see you under that beautiful sun. Love you, Christine #walkingtour #staugustine #florida Pirates Paradise is located at: 135 St. George Street St. Augustine, Florida 32084 *They are open 10am-9pm, seven days a week. The store comes up as Pirates Paradise on your receipt, but on Google Maps it's called Souvenir City. P.S. If you missed the LIVE walking tour on Wednesday, the replay is linked down below. Holy cow - did we see a lot this week!

Video 442. Livestream 147. #walkingtour #staugustine #florida ___  Hey There Fellow Dreamers! Guess what? Tomorrow, I’ll be taking you LIVE to Vilano Beach, Florida. If you didn’t catch my last Vilano Beach livestream definitely go check it out. We certainly did some exploring that day! And I showed you the walking distance to the beach from six of the downtown area hotels, including: 1- The Saint Augustine Beach House 2- OceanView Lodge 3- Hampton Inn & Suites Vilano Beach - St. Augustine 4- Holiday Inn Express St. Augustine - Vilano Beach 5- Hyatt Place St. Augustine 6- Magic Beach Motel And it’s that last hotel on the list - the Magic Beach Motel - which was the image for my thumbnail - that really caught my eye. The Magic Beach Motel was built back in 1951, and it’s so full of color and loaded with tropical charm. I painted a 6x8 inch watercolor of the old building because I was so fascinated with this one remaining retro-style hotel in town, sitting there surrounded by newer and larger style buildings throughout the rest of the little village. Did you know the Magic Beach Motel was the set for a late 90’s television series? Called ‘Safe Harbor’- the story was set in the fictional town of Magic Beach, Florida! I’d love to know your thoughts on older, seemingly outdated motels and hotels, vs. newer, larger hotel style accommodations when traveling. While newer facilities can offer every comfort of home when staying overnight on the road, or on a week long beach vacation, it’s also sad to see these older buildings being demolished one by one. I do hope this little motel makes it in the face of progress. And I hope it remains a tiny little slice of retro beach life. If one ever wondered what life was like, and what going to the beach was like in the 1950’s, I look to this little building to imagine. Maybe it was the exact same as going to the beach now? Sand pails, flip flops, sunblock, and umbrellas. Coolers and drinks. Beach bags, books to read, and chairs to sit on. Sandy feet on the return trip. All seemingly the same as today… just minus a smartphone, of course. Maybe it was all the same, but maybe life was all a bit more carefree than everything is now. Who knows? But, maybe there was some magic involved as well. Love you, Christine P.S. We’ll see you tomorrow in Vilano Beach - I love that little beach town so very much. #vilanobeach #staugustine #florida ___

Before & After Livestreaming: My Experience in St. Augustine Florida Considering live-streaming for the 1st time? Hey There Fellow Dreamers! Here's an example of my experiences before and after I livestream on YouTube! Streaming out in public is quite different from streaming in a studio, office, or simply the comforts of your own home. Travel, parking, crazy weather including intense heat and sun, staying hydrated, bugs on the gimbal lol, and a lot more must be considered. But most importantly - and the main point of this video below - I recommend that you don't lose sight of why you're streaming in the first place... and to spend some time really soaking in your surroundings, and to truly enjoy everything you're seeing beyond the camera lens - in real life. Let me know what you think of my experience! And does this help you in any way? My goal as a Channel is to help inspire you to make all your very own dreams come true. So if you're contemplating going LIVE on YouTube for the first time, go ahead and take that initial step. All you gotta do is hit that red button! What are you waiting for? The only one stopping you - is YOU. I'll see you in the next one, somewhere under that beautiful sun. Love you, Christine #beforeandafter #staugustine #florida ___ Hey There Fellow Dreamers! And hey there to any YouTubers looking to take the next step and hit the big red button to go LIVE on your own channel for the very first time - this one’s for you. My job as a channel is to help motivate you to make all your dreams come true. And taking that hard first step is the only way forward. So if going LIVE on YouTube is a dream of yours, I hope this video can help in some way… So thanks for joining me today for a little before-and-after… Here’s my journey before I go LIVE on YouTube and then after my livestream ends. And if you haven't watched the LIVE walking tour of St. Augustine - specifically of State Route A1A (known as San Marco Avenue locally) in the historic district of this magnificent Florida town, definitely go ahead and check out the replay linked below! We had a ton of fun, even in the heat, took a selfie with a pirate, and learned a bit of history along the way about the Nation’s Oldest City. But either way, thanks for being here, and if you’re a YouTuber who wants to start livestreaming, what are you waiting for? The only one stopping you is YOU.

I had a phenomenal time with y'all this morning as we took a lovely walking tour of St. George Street, saw the shining and glistening waterfront, and experienced fabulous views of the massive Castillo de San Marcos! This fort is part of the National Park Service and is a National Monument in the United States. And, gosh by golly.... the sight of it never gets old. It truly is something special to look at. And while St. Augustine itself is the nation's oldest city, it never gets old coming to visit here either. I do sincerely love coming to St. Augustine - whether for an hour, a dinner out, or an entire day of fun in the Florida sun, I have so many special memories that are housed in this here special little town along the First Coast.

Merry Vlogmas 2023 Day 12 Hey Holiday Dreamers!! Greetings from the very festive and historic Downtown St. Augustine, Florida! And Merry Vlogmas 2023 Day 12 baby! Well folks, tonight we're at another must-do attraction if you’re spending Christmas in the South! The St. Augustine Nights of Lights truly is one of the most magnificent (and FREE) holiday spectacles anywhere in the Sunshine State! This walk-thru event, taking place nightly from Saturday, November 18, 2023 until Sunday, January 28, 2024, can be experienced at your own pace, and taken in at your leisure. There is no one right way to experience the Lights - the important thing is just that you DO experience them. I highly recommend a visit, and it’s a very reasonable drive if you’re in the Jacksonville greater area during the holidays. So, get out there and see the Lights, and let me know what you think?! Love you, Christine Further information on the St. Augustine Nights of Lights can be found at: https://www.visitstaugustine.com/event/nights-lights This was filmed LIVE on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 in the magnificent and historic downtown St. Augustine, Florida.

Alright folks, we’re gonna do some eating, and some walking. This is our first visit to Buc-ee’s - in St. Augustine, Florida! So, put your walking shoes on and come join me! We’ve been to both Buc-ee’s Calhoun, Georgia, and Buc-ee’s Warner Robins, Georgia. But today we’ve finally made it to my first visit to a Buc-ee’s located in The Sunshine State! Thanks for strolling along with me as I walk a 0.64 mile loop around the Buc-ee’s parking lot. This place is massive, you guys! I show you all the Tesla charging stations, the diesel area, the abundance of gas pumps, plus, a very pet-friendly space throughout the expansive property for dog relief, including dog poop bag/trash stations everywhere. A person has no excuse to not pick up after their pooch here, that’s for sure! And tons of grassy space for dogs, and humans alike, to stretch their legs. Inside the gas station, I mean shopping mall, I mean convenience store, I mean - I have no idea… the abundance continues. There’s endless drink stations, coffees, bakery, breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods. Homemade fudge?!! I even found out the difference between Beaver Chips and Beaver Nuggets! So, for lunch we decided upon Icee’s from the freestyle machines, I got cherry, and Bryan got wacky watermelon. I had the beef brisket sandwich, Bryan had the pulled pork sandwich. He also surprised me with those infamous Beaver Chips - which are basically freshly fried potato chip slices - very delicious, two thumbs up! We also purchased a boatload of snacks. We took home a ridiculously large bag of Beaver nuggets, and I bought Bryan a bag of pork rinds - regular flavor - he loves those. And then - oh gosh - the merch! So, let me tell you a little secret. Buc-ee’s has Christmas/Holiday Merchandise! I mean, who would have thought, right? Duh. So I might have bought some festive goods. Actually, I bought a Buc-ee’s ceramic ornament for $4.98 - very cute. And a holiday tee shirt for $17.98 - I don’t show the shirt on the livestream because I’m gonna wear it and show it in a future video. And most importantly - Thank you so much for joining me as we ‘tailgate’ - Beaver style. In a great mystery of life, I can’t figure out why, there is no place to sit down and eat inside Buc-ee’s or outside Buc-ee’s. So eating at the car is pretty much what most everybody does who comes here. I really did not want to eat my lovely brisket sandwich inside the car… I wanted the FULL Buc-ee’s experience. So I grabbed my bag chair and sat outside the back of the car in the parking lot. Watching the cars and trailers and pickup trucks come and go. Lines and lines of cars both coming and going in all directions. Then I tried to take you guys inside Buc-ee’s, but the internet cut out and I lost y’all for a while. So, sadly, I couldn’t really tour all the merch that I wanted to with you, but at least I was able to show you what we purchased ourselves. And lastly, there can’t be a Buc-ee’s video without me mentioning the restrooms. They are the best! The End. Gosh, you guys! I can’t thank you enough for coming along with me today! This being my third visit to a Buc-ee’s, I’m happy to say I really think Buc-ee’s is THE BEST gas station and highway rest stop in the United States of America! Crowning Buc-ee’s as Bean’s Best Award Winning Gas Station lol. But now it’s your turn - What do you think of Buc-ee’s? I’d LOVE to know your thoughts! Share with me in the comments below, and I’ll see you in the next livestream, from somewhere in The Sunshine State! Buc-ee’s St. Johns is open 24 hours and is located at: 200 World Commerce Pkwy St. Augustine, FL 32092 #bucees #staugustine #florida Filmed LIVE on Saturday, October 7, 2023 in St. Augustine, Florida.    This December marks my third holiday season living in the South. And while I’ve already enjoyed seemingly countless new, exciting, and very different holiday traditions each winter here, there’s always something else I want to try, or add to my must-do list. Many of these events and outings are completely unique to Florida, Florida’s history, and, unlike Chicago - with the fact that bodies of water are not frozen solid, or on their way to be, down here in December - it means a whole lot of those holiday traditions involve the water in some way or manner. St. Augustine’s 26th Annual Nights of Lights is one such event that I’ve incorporated into my holiday traditions here on the First Coast. And this year I planned my outing to be centered entirely around the coastal and inlet waters of Vilano Beach, Matanzas River, Anastasia Island, and the very historic city of St. Augustine itself. I’ve seen the St. Augustine Lights each year here thus far. But mostly I’ve gazed at the lights just quickly touring or driving through, so this year I wanted to do things a little bit different. Red Boat Water Tours - docked at the Vilano Beach Pier - hosts a nightly boat tour of the coastal waters which reflect the lights surrounding all the beauty in the city.  We booked our boat ride months in advance. The tour is so very popular it sells out way ahead of time for each evening they take on customers during the entire holiday season. We had been on this exact boat tour during the day time with my family when they were in town for a visit about a year and a half ago now. We witnessed lots of dolphins swimming about during that ride, as we listened to the captain tell us many stories about the great history of St. Augustine. So I was pretty excited about gaining a different perspective of the city this year, at night, once the waters were completely dark, and with the lighthouse acting as a true beacon surrounding our entire ride, and all the magnificence of the lights display bordering the entire shore line. Tours start at $40.00 per person, plus fees, and our original total came to over $90.00. However, since we had been customers in the past, they had offered us a repeat rider discount specifically for the Nights of Lights Tour, with fairly significant savings - it nearly halved our total cost. This repeat customer deal was better than any other sales/codes/online deals offered. Honestly, the large discount is the only reason I booked the tour. I personally think we would never have paid this much to go back on the same boat we had already been on - as I tend to try different things each year, especially those that cost significant money. While tending to keep the traditions that cost next to nothing or are completely free. Sugar cookies, anyone? I also planned for us to have dinner at Beaches at Vilano in advance of the tour. It makes sense to me to try a restaurant we’ve never been especially when we’re right there in the vicinity.    Our ride started at 7:15pm going through 8:30. Red Boat asks in the fine print for us to arrive about 15-20 minutes ahead of time. The restaurant is just opposite the pier and basically shares the same parking. So I planned our dinner for 5:30. That gave us enough time to work a full day, drive down, eat a leisurely meal, including time for a quick dessert, then head on over to our awaiting horse-drawn open sleigh upon the warm waters. Dinner was just fine. I say that meaning there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, while at the same time it wasn’t the best meal of my life. It ended up being roughly half the cost as our anniversary meal at The Reef, which is located just down the street a bit… so the lesser cost was fabulous. And despite it not being the absolute best, I do recommend stopping in Beaches if you get a chance. The atmosphere and the views are worth it alone. You will be transported instantly into vacation mode there - whether you’re on vacation, or not. And there are no complaints here about vacation mode.    At 5:30pm on a Tuesday, in December, they were quite busy. They had some very large parties already seated, mostly corporate and holiday parties going on, but each table was filled. They were busy enough that we were lucky to get seated right away, have our meal, with just enough time remaining for getting out to our boat tour immediately after. We had tried for reservations - but they do not accept. Make sure to allot for enough time if you are planning the same holiday outing. I ordered a plain iced tea, skipped the soup, salads and appetizers, and had the flat iron steak with a side of broccoli - extra broccoli - skip the plantains, for my main course.  This is how I stay healthy or even somewhat healthy while dining out. I researched the menu in advance online. I logged into MyFitnessPal in the morning to plot out my calories for the day. And I knew exactly what I was ordering for dinner. After massive weight loss, I’m not about to go back to where I was. While I receive lots of questions asking me how I maintain the loss...it's a daily plan just like it was during the loss. Even more so afterward, I’d say, than during, sometimes. Healthy decisions have to be part of the new and changed lifestyle. Wherever I am. Whatever options are available to me. And most especially when coming face to face with the almighty and highly coveted FRENCH FRY. No, I never met a potato I didn’t like. Don’t get me wrong, I still eat burgers and fries, just infrequently. The meal I selected for this outing is loaded with nutrients from the broccoli and is heavy on the protein from the steak. And nothing fried. The protein helps the tummy feel full, and takes longer to digest, upping the metabolism. The harder the body has to work to process the food, the more calories it burns in the process. That’s why protein is a major perk to weight loss. And, the broccoli’s many and countless benefits will basically go without saying for right now and the purposes of this post, as the perks of eating it should be self-explanatory for most. Hence, the large plate of broccoli. My only critique of this dish, at this restaurant, is that I would recommend the steak and broccoli be served on separate plates. The juices/sauces/butters/etc. from both dishes were already mixed together by the time my plate was served to me, and it didn’t take long for the entire dish to taste all the same. And when everything tastes the same, it’s becomes increasingly less appealing. Leading to less enjoyment from me, leading to my hubby’s meal becoming more and more appealing and quite tempting to me by the second. Here is the hubby’s meal.   He ordered the burger with fries, and a side of grilled shrimp. He loved the shrimp, and everything else was exceptional. His margarita was just right. We ordered the volcano cake with vanilla ice cream, berries, and topped with a berry sauce to split for dessert. This allowed us to still have a treat for the night, a special treat since we were out, but splitting saved on calories immensely as well as cost.   We received our volcano cake - minus the volcano. Sad face. My husband didn’t know what a volcano cake was, so I was excited to split it open to show how the chocolate should pour out like lava, but, sadly, that did not happen. It was very, very dry. But while the cake was not as it should have been - it was still edible - it was C H O C O L A T E…. after all. No problem there - not a drop of it left by the end of the meal - we had the plate clean for them and ready to pop in the dishwasher, no pre-rinse needed. After our dinner at Beaches was complete, we walked right on out to the very lonely looking pier. It was dark. And desolate. I instantly thought we had the wrong day. I was just about to check my phone for information. But alas, we kept walking down toward the dock, and I could see red lights.Our Rudolph. Our boat was there. Our Red Boat. It was just near empty and no one else was around - within an area that us usually fairly populated - any time of day. Apparently, right before our arrival there was a miscommunication between tour boat companies and all the riders standing out on the dock waiting to board their respective boats. Another tour company out of the same dock had some problems with their boat, sent everyone away, and when those people left, nearly all of the customers for our Red Boat left as well. So we were riding on a sold-out boat ride, and had most of the boat to ourselves. If you book this outing, don’t be afraid to call to verify if something’s up upon your arrival. And know there are many boating companies out in the area touring customers around. If one sends people away, confirm it’s your ride before leaving. It was a lovely ride. A chilly ride. A dark ride.       With the sun long ago set, we were riding past all the low and tidal areas in the dark, with the lighthouse as a breathtaking backdrop in the black skies. Our boat captain told us some stories along the way. We learned of the ancient history surrounding Nights of Lights - something I had never heard before. I knew there were many reasons floating around online of how the Lights came to be an annual tradition within the town 26 years ago. And that the story of the light in the window tradition had potentially dated back to ancient times. But I knew no real specifics. Our boat captain told us his version… He said it all started with Jesus. Jesus. As a refugee baby. No room at the Inn. In need of safe passage. Safe housing for the night. When the Spanish settled here on the historic First Coast hundreds of years ago, they put lights in their windows at night during the holiday season. To act as a beacon. A beacon for weary travelers. A light to welcome Jesus. Jesus has room at their Inns. A beacon of hope to the world. Of all the stories I heard about the Lights, and why they exist, and why people still put candles in their windows to this day, I like the Jesus version. Baby Jesus… sleeping in the hay. I’ll choose Jesus. But regardless of why lights are put in the window displays, and which version and which stories are true, and which are legend in town… as the town itself has countless legends - the lights themselves are absolutely fabulous. You can choose which story you like. Which fits your reason as to why you light your way and what you choose to light your way with. Just always choose the light - over the darkness - and you’ll be good to go. They offered us heavy wool blankets onboard. They came in handy. We absolutely froze. I wore a turtleneck, the only long pair of pants I own, and one of the only closed-toe shoes I own, my new winter puffy down coat, plus ear muffs, gloves, hood, and brought two blankets of our own, as they served us hot chocolate. It was 53 degrees outside.   We both froze near to death. It had just been in the mid 80’s a second ago, this was an ice age. We laughed at ourselves as if we were delirious. 53 degrees in Chicago in December is a heat wave. Break out the ice cream and sit on the front lawn with it. Open the windows! Now we were Floridian Fools covered in blankets. Not allowing our fingers and cheeks to feel the air if we can at all help it. I can already picture myself next year..., I’ll have the big Ugg boots to match. I already know it. How else can I get through another Florida winter? Either that, or we are moving to the Equator. No other sensible or reasonable or sane-minded options exist. I mentioned the cold makes us delirious now, right? If you’re a local and booking this ride, dress appropriately. Bring blankets. Pack for summiting Mount Everest. If you’re a tourist and here on vacation from anywhere up North, never fear, you’ll feel like you’re in the tropical paradise of your dreams as your boat captain plays ‘Pontoon’ from Little Big Town as you race off toward the lights of the night. Know that if you are looking to obtain quality photos, they will be hard to come by. With all the movement, added into the darkness, even with my hubby’s better camera, we couldn’t really capture the moment digitally with any great detail. Our best photo remains at the top of this post. If the boat had come to a complete stop, plus a tripod, then, maybe, we’re talking. But some things can’t be caught on camera I guess. You know, like Santa Claus. I tend to never capture a great full quality image of him, but I know he’s out there. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. It’s a holiday tradition and celebration in a beautifully historic town, for all to enjoy, regardless of background, beliefs, and a lovely addition to a family holiday tradition as well. After all, in constant learning about different beliefs and traditions and reasons why others might put candles in the window each December, we are reminded that while we are all different, we are also all the same. Everybody wants Hope. Everyone wants Light. I’ll choose not to do the ride again as it was costly. But, next year, I plan to view the Lights on foot, in town… off from the water's edge... and on solid ground. I’ll travel up close and personal. I want to see the fire lamps. I want to see the Christmas trees in the window displays. I want to walk the town and see the lights as close as possible. I want to listen for the sound of reindeer hooves on roof tops. And most importantly, I want to look for Santa Claus… I tend to believe he might be hanging around all the dreamy chocolate shops and gift shops and restaurants… blended in amongst the gorgeous and magical Lights of St. Augustine. Yes, those shops seem like a good place to start on my hunt for the big SC. But for now, I’ll enjoy my memory of a coastal Christmas holiday on the water’s edge. ~
