If you're partying at the Mardi Gras!
If you are partying at the
Mardi Gras, you will find
Howard Johnson's Inn
extremely convenient. It's right next door. This is a very attractive place to stay and the home of Florida's oldest Senator!! (See below) The Old Senator has been living at the Howard Johnson's for over six hundred years, and that's no exaggeration! Want to talk about a politician who has had his roots in Florida's soil longer than any other? Want an experienced legislator? This guy was here before Ponce De Leon, and he never worked as a lobbyist. He's never been sued! He's never had an ethics violation and he's completely independent of obligations to those who financed his campaigns! He's got my VOTE!
The Old Jail
is located about a hundred fifty yards north of the motel. Built in 1891, it served as St. Johns County's prison. This jail is now open for tours, if you dare! It is one of St. Augustine's most haunted buildings. The Old St. Augustine History Museum is there too. Don't miss it!
The Old Mission
La Mission De La Nombre De Dios is just south of Howard Johnson's. This is where it all began, where Menendez landed on September 8, 1565 and founded the City of St. Augustine.
The Howard Johnson Inn
has lots of rooms, but if you're hoping to stay here, it might be a very good idea to register BEFORE you go to the Mardi Gras. It can be very disheartening to learn there "were no rooms in the Inn."
Plan to stay a few days!
That way you can enjoy some of St. Augustine's many exciting adventures like the Fountain of Youth - 600 feet from the motel! Get a drink there and get young! Diamond Lil guarantees it!
are available here for Old Town Trolley Tours. With twenty two stops at St. Augustine's historic sites and on and off privileges for three days, St. Augustine can turn out to be at the top of your list for your next vacation adventure.
