535) Day 17 - Castillo de San Marcos is closed during the federal government shutdown - St. Augustine, Florida

As we finish off day seventeen of the United States government being closed for business...

The Castillo de San Marcos in historic downtown St. Augustine, Florida continues to remain closed during the current federal government shutdown.

Recently, I went to the Castillo and did a YouTube livestream from the St. Augustine Inlet waterfront, near the fort area on Wednesday, October 8th (linked below). And, honestly, it was such a strange sight to see such a familiar and iconic place all closed up.

Normally, when I livestream the sunrise in St. Augustine, I always take note that the Castillo wakes up as early as I do. When you rise earlier than dawn, it's very easy to see who else is awake with you.

Workers arrive early, checking out the grounds and tending to the property. I'm watching the sunrise, and I hear the lawnmower already operating. I wave hello to the sun, and I see National Park Service employees diligently going about their work day. By the time I finish my sunrise livestream, it's usually almost time for the Castillo to open up to the public for the day, and the parking lots are filling up fast.

And just as quickly as the parking lots reach capacity, the line for tickets into the Castillo grows. Everyone wants to see the fort when they visit this lovely town.

I see the NPS workers communicating with and educating the public about the Castillo, as well as all the NPS workers who keep the Castillo alive physically. I can only imagine how much work and continual maintenance is required, with ocean waters splashing against it no less, to keep this amazing piece of history alive for future generations to see and learn from.

Just last month, I saw a worker patching up pieces of one of the barrier walls with what I can assume was some sort of masonry or brickwork/stonework tools. It was background noise to me - (peaceful) background noise - as I watched the sun rise above Anastasia Island. I always love to see the fort being worked on and cared for. In fact, In another life, I'd love to be a National Park Service employee. That list of dream jobs remains a mile long, including wanting to be a meteorologist, but I can dream nonetheless.

The Castillo is well taken care of every time I'm there. Visitors love the Castillo, and the National Park Service employees love the Castillo. It always seems to me that the general public, as well as all the fort caretakers, very sincerely love the Castillo, and care for the well being and survival of this historic fort, for the historical significance, and educational aspects the fort provides.

I have been live-streaming from downtown St. Augustine for a few years now, coming here regularly - once a month to stream from this very historic city. St. Augustine is one of my favorite places in the world, and I do believe the town is such a special treasure to The Sunshine State.

As I sit here planning out my schedule for next month's livestreams, it has already crossed my mind that I'm preparing to livestream from St. Augustine once again - very soon. And it's a very strange feeling to me that the Castillo may still be closed in the next couple weeks.

I wonder when this shutdown will end? I wonder when the National Park Service employees will be able to get back to taking care of the Castillo. I wonder how much maintenance is now lacking, and how much imperative maintenance work is now being delayed at the fort. I can only imagine that it all adds up, and fast. Florida weather is harsh on any structure, but one that is hundreds of years old is simply a whole different ball game. And importantly, I wonder when the next batch of visitors will be able to cross through those gates once again?

I have no idea when the federal government will open up. As I write this, I imagine that the shutdown could end directly after I hit publish. Friday night - TGIF! And, just the same, I can imagine the shutdown continuing many, many more weeks, leading into some far off date that no one can possibly even comprehend.

At 44 years of age, it feels like I've now lived through many government shut downs. And it seems that we always tend to figure things out and get moving once again. But during it - in the moment - it always feels so ominous...

I have no answers - but I do know one thing. I'll be quite happy to see that line of visitors, queuing all the way from the ticket booth, down the hill and into the parking lot, once again.~

529) Sunrise Summary in St. Augustine Beach, Florida - Good Morning World!

Join me for sunrise in St. Augustine Beach, Florida on this beautiful morning. This is our sunrise summary!

On this day we livestreamed at the St. Johns County Fishing Pier when Hurricane Erin was far out at sea. Waves were strong and the surf was good - we were there to watch all the surfers living their very best life, and maybe some birds too.

And actually, as you’ll see, there were some beach doggies living their best life as well. These beautiful sights and sounds of morning time at the beach can make one think about life itself. Life can be so very complicated, so sometimes maybe we should just wing it.

If you’d like to see the full livestream, the replay is linked right here!

517) The Anticipation of Autumn...

A season of renewal:

Hey there fellow dreamers,

Thanks for joining me for a fabulous sunrise in Jacksonville Beach, Florida yesterday!

I must admit that while it's officially still summer for the next few weeks, I am most definitely looking forward to fall... And whether that's for the pumpkins, or the sight of brightly colored mums for sale at grocery store entranceways, the scent of apple pies, the taste of sweet candy corns, or delicious hot coffees, and then some - I find myself wanting the season to change, and I'm so more than ready for that change to take affect.

It got me thinking even more, and I realized that seasonal changes can really be quite a gift to us. Just as we celebrate and welcome in the sunrise for a fresh, new day on this beautiful planet Earth, we can also celebrate the seasons changing for a fresh, new perspective, and another brand new start in this big and crazy world. There are so many ways to embrace continuing change in this world, and so many ways to give yourself some grace, and grant yourself another new beginning. Even if that new beginning is just a new day.

And the transition from summer to fall may be some of the biggest transitions each year that we all go through! On top of the weather change, so many of us have a new routine coming along with the autumn. And even if your routine doesn't change with the season, it still may feel like it does, as we all get swept up in the swirling and falling leaves around us. Maybe that's part of the excitement that comes along with embracing the beautiful autumn weather? I don't know - what do you think?

So after our livestream ended and I did some serious bird watching lol, I was just gazing at this awesome sky for some time, and as I sat there, it just felt like fall. Well, I should say it looked like fall to me - it felt like Florida heat to me. Either way, I sat there, and I imagined the autumn ahead of us.

Do you think this is an autumn sky - if there is such a thing as an autumn looking sky?

Love you,
Christine

Holy cow, the very magical Staycation Tuesday stream is back up!

It's a short one lol - most of the entire sunrise crashed a bunch of times and is all cut out. And it also died before almost anyone had a chance to actually watch it. But the Magic Beach Motel is there now, and that's great! The chat replay is completely gone altogether and I can't get it back - not a major deal at all but just mentioning as an fyi if anyone wanted to see the chat replay, it was not able to be salvaged.

But looks like I was able to show you the entire exterior of the hotel on this stream! That includes the surrounding construction, and what is coming to this piece of property. I wanted to show you the new construction from the beach vantage point as well but the signal wouldn't allow it.

I'm so glad that we went ahead and booked a room for the night, and I was able to stay here one time before they shut their doors.

The Magic Beach Motel has been around since 1951, and is truly a piece of history at the beach. I remember the first time I saw this very unique little place, and it really left an impression on me. It was many years ago, but I remember thinking it was a special little place. I am so glad you're able to enjoy it one last time with me. I'll be really curious when it's actually demolished, and I'll grab a video of that once it happens.

I will also have a hotel room tour video coming up. And if you're interested in staying at the Magic Beach Motel you have about four weeks left. Their last night of taking reservations is September 28th, 2025. They close forever on September 29, 2025.

Thanks for keeping the magic alive with me.

Love you,
Christine

The Magic Beach Motel is located at:

507) Collecting seashells - sunrise beach walk in Ponte Vedra Beach 8.12.25

Join me on this lovely Tuesday morning for a sunrise beach walk in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida! Today we are collecting seashells along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in our Dunkin Beach Bucket. The tide will be somewhat lower than the last time we collected shells, and we will be in a different location as well. So maybe we can fill our bucket today?

Hey there fellow dreamers,

We had quite a successful sunrise livestream this week in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida! The tide was lower, we filled our beach bucket completely with shells, saw five amazing sea turtle nests, plus a tiny crab working on a construction project.

By the way, after the stream, just as I said I would, I sat there until that next crab came out of his hole and started working on his pile again. It didn't take him long to pop back out, but he did need me to be very silent and still of course. So I have a short video of him to share lol. This second crab was bigger than the tiny one on the livestream.

And in regards to the sea turtle nests, I've attached our shell collecting walk from the Apple Watch App this week. I always find it fascinating looking at the routes the watch tracks, but it's always extra interesting by the ocean. A lot of the time it shows me walking in the ocean, but on this day we were very high on the old tide lines. So it shows where we were on the highest points of the walk, right along the dunes (so the farthest to the left of the image) - that's where the five sea turtle nests we saw were located. I just think that is so cool and had to share with you.

Overall, a fabulous day, much too humid, and can't wait to do it again.

Love you,
Christine

Hey there fellow dreamers!

Thank you for joining me to watch a lovely sunrise from beautiful St. Augustine, Florida yesterday.

It was one of the hottest days this year here and I definitely felt it. This entire week seems like it will be in the 90's and full of that Florida humid extreme heat, with the feels like temps over a hundred. It's that deep and wet humidity that really gets to you after just a minute or two lol. You wouldn't know that humidity by looking at these sunrise photos though. The always picturesque St. Augustine - is always warm and inviting.

Love you,
Christine

P.S. In case you missed July in St. Augustine LIVE, the replay is linked above!

Also, as predicted, I saw many more crabs, and a stingray, right after the stream ended of course.

479) Guana River SAVED - for now...

Sometimes we need to listen to the bonnethead sharks of the world.

Hey there fellow dreamers. This channel is all about our dreams in this world. And one of my dreams has always been to see a sea turtle - out in nature, in the wild. We've seen plenty of nests, but never the actual turtle. I never knew if it would ever actually happen or not. But thanks to you all, it finally happened. I don't know if I'll ever be the same, or if I'll ever live it down lol.

Anyways, thanks for joining me on a walking tour of beautiful downtown St. Augustine, Florida for our motivational Monday livestream! The sun rising over Matanzas Bay is quite a sight to behold, and I must say - a great way to start the week.

We covered a lot of ground together yesterday, both literally and figuratively. And I definitely need to recap here in case you haven't caught the stream yet, because as I mentioned, we covered a lot of ground. Beyond the sunrise itself, here were some of our sights and [12] agenda items:

1) Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, and walk around the exterior of the structure.
2) Fort or Castle ??
3) Low tide birds and creatures
4) Paid Parking kiosks downtown St. Augustine
5) Avenida Menendez / State Route A1A
6) Front of the Best Western, the Hilton, plus a historical marker
7) Front of the brand new Saint Italian Restaurant
6) 'Vacation Mode: ON' = new matching family vacation tees option available in my Merch Shop
7) Discussing potential 'St. Arrrrrgustine' merch lol
8) Setting for my children's book revealed
9) The EXPLORE Act - became law on January 4, 2025. H.R. 6492 - from the 118th Congress (2023-2024). A fabulous update for filming and photography for life in the modern, digital age, and geared specifically toward content creators and social media in general. Previously, filming inside National Parks was not allowed - without a permit, fees, and quite a cumbersome process, with much advance planning.

The EXPLORE Act now allows content creators, and anyone at all of course, to bring the sights and sounds of America's beautiful National Parks to the world much more easily, through social media, without having to go through the permitting process, paying fees, and planning far in advance. Weather, for me, being my biggest concern. I can just imagine actually booking (let's say roughly a month or two in advance) a filming visit, and then a massive Florida thunderstorm ruining the outing. So this just wasn't ideal for me on a personal level to plan a visit to bring this content to my channel in the past.

Personally, I am so excited and happy this law was passed, and I love the law as much as its name. EXPLORE is what we do on this channel. We go on adventures - together.

And now we can add national parks into our content. I believe showcasing the natural beauty of our planet Earth is integral to helping keep our planet safe, clean, and habitable for future generations. Visibility, seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, and learning about the creatures who call that particular place home, helps others appreciate how amazing our natural world really is. And in today's day and age, we do need content creators who are willing to film or photograph National Parks and publish to social media so everyone can continually see, and learn about, the natural world and history around us. And I do think the EXPLORE Act will help us all do just that.

And believe it or not, the greater Jacksonville area has many National Parks to visit! So, we will be adding those into our content library in the near future - another video series. And I can't wait to take you to our first National Park visit.

I will be putting out a Community Poll, and YOU will be deciding what site we visit first together.

10) The final subject was about the Guana River in St. Johns County - and I saved that for the end of the stream after we concluded our walk, because you know I like to talk. If you haven't watched the replay yet, I covered the fact that this Wednesday, May 21st, about 600 acres of state owned land along the beautiful Guana River and in a preserve land trust, was potentially going to be approved as a land swap with a company named Upland LLC, for other land scattered throughout the entire state of Florida.

The good news is that in the middle of the night, again, last night I found out the agenda item was set aside - for now. So the people of St. Johns County, and from much farther away, helped save the Guana River Reserve - for now. I say 'for now' because I am learning, and I remember, that last year when a similar instance (not necessarily a swap, but a potential development) was very close to being allowed to proceed at Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine Beach. I then learned that state preserves are not as preserved as I always thought they always would be. And that instance led me to find there was a similar instance 5 years ago, where Guana River was in need of saving. This means, in my opinion, it will need to be saved in the future, once again.

I did go out to the property in question yesterday, and was able to grab some film (from vantage point of the road paralleling the land parcel). I'll definitely get it posted on the channel, just for whatever the future holds for this preserve.

I do not believe this is the last of this matter, and I believe the people of this Earth will need to continually help advocate and protect what remains of our state preserves. This was not private property. This is state owned land in trust to be preserved. And just personally, I do find it ironic that this all happened right when I learned about the EXPLORE Act, as a measure to help bring our beautiful National Parks to more people through the eyes and lenses of content creators. And also ironic as I had planned to tell you yesterday that the setting of my children's book takes place in what I like to call 'Wild Florida' - all the natural wonders of the state's landscape, from the ocean and the beach, to the salt marsh, the intracoastal, the swamps, the creeks and waterways, the St. Johns River, and into downtown Jacksonville.

11) Lastly, as we were discussing our beautiful planet Earth, and the potential habitat loss for alligators, turtles, snakes, birds, and many more creatures... We were then greeted by more creatures. And yes, it was a shark who came to say hello to us as I was ending our stream. I firmly believe this shark wanted to add his input on the subject matter at hand.

Sometimes, I've learned, Earth's wild creatures are much smarter than we tend to give them credit. And sometimes, we need to listen more to the bonnethead sharks, the egrets, the pigeons, the amazing alligators, and the magical sea turtles of this world.

12) And yes, a precious sea turtle came right up to me and said hello after our stream ended yesterday. I'd dreamed of such a moment sincerely for eight years. And this one, I did catch on film.

Love you,
Christine
