I Found the Fountain of Youth!
We all want to find the Fountain of Youth, right? I found it in St Augustine, Florida, and learned a bit of history about it that was quite interesting, as well as unexpected.
When You Are in St Augustine, Head to Meehan’s Irish Pub!
Meehan’s Irish Pub is a must-go-to restaurant in historical St Augustine! The view is spectacular! It faces the waterfront, the fort and the Bridge of Lions, and best of all, the food is absolutely delicious. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony, taking in the views and doing a bit of people watching as well. It was a perfect evening.
My waiter was Caleb, and he took very good care of me. He gave me some Meehan’s history. The restaurant became very busy as I sat there, puzzled about what to order. I wasn’t in the mood for a big meal, so I ordered Crab Chowder (which is among the very best I’ve ever had!), followed by a Tomato and Basil Flatbread. Both were incredible.
So, I had to have dessert, right? And I am embarrassed to admit that it looked so good I ate it before I remembered to photograph it! It was their homemade Jameson Bread Pudding.
After all of that food I was ready to go walk off the calories, but Caleb wanted me to try their homemade Irish Cream. At first I said no, but eventually I gave in. I could not believe how good it was! It was like a Bailey’s Irish Cream Milkshake, the cream was so thick! Needless to say, it was amazing, and worth the trip to St Augustine just for the Irish Cream.
So it must be said, if you are headed to the northeast coast of Florida, this restaurant is not to be missed! Bookmark this, and commit the name to memory: MEEHAN’S IRISH PUB in St Augustine, Florida!
St Augustine Florida Eco Tours Took me on a Wonderful Tour!
On my first visit to St Augustine I just had to get out on the water. I mean, it is Florida! With my love of animals and the ocean I decided I had to do a boat tour, and I chose St Augustine Eco Tours. I am glad I did! Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and friendly, but the tour itself was incredible. I’m taking you on a photo tour!
