We had such a fabulous time in St. Augustine learning about the Spanish heritage of our country. Being the oldest U.S. city, it has lots to offer in terms of history. We visited the Ponce de Leon Fountain of Youth Archaeological Site where we learned about the arrival of Ponce de Leon on this continent, the Timucuan Indians who were already here, saw real cannons fire, and even saw the Fountain of Youth. We also visited the Old Fort, the Old Spanish Quarter and learned about the life of the early settlers, and even visited the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse in the U.S. - the kids even got to ring the bell! It was a great time!
