Saint Augustine Lighthouse & Museum

We left Brooksville yesterday and arrived in St. Augustine in the early afternoon. We went to dinner last night with Morrie & Dixie at "Salt Water Cowboys" restaurant. It was very rustic and had excellent food. Today Bob & I went to the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum and then to Old Town for the rest of the day. The lighthouse and museum were the best we have seen. It was very interesting to learn about the history. The clerk in the museum store said a lady from the Smithsonian was just there as they are trying to get accredited by the Smithsonian. From what we saw today, I'm sure they will get it with no problem.
