~ 5 Star Hotel or 5 Star Breakfast?

Casa Monica in St. Augustine, FL

This is actually the side entrance.
Whenever you see pictures, they make sure that
the beautiful gardens of the Lightner Museum
looks like it is a part of their grounds.
Smart thinking.

Although we are only 5 hours away from Savannah, we were both tired out from the week before, so I decided that a little lay over in St. Augustine would be nice. Thanks to "travelzoo" email updates, we stayed at a beautiful 5 star hotel, Casa Monica. Every time we went to St. Augustine and walked by I thought about staying there. Of course everything was nice.

More pretty things to see in St. Augustine.

So I asked Sweet Hubby to choose between the big 5 star hotel and the little St. Francis Inn Bed & Breakfast down the street where we had stayed before. That room was much bigger, but it had a noisy air conditioner near the bed. It was heavenly! Just like a sound machine so I didn't hear Sweet Husband snoring. I actually read a couple of people complain about the inn being not very new inside. Wonder why? It was built in 1791!! But it was such a lovley inn. I hope to stay there again.

I am working on some projects when due dates coming soon, so I'll be back with Savannah soon. Promise.
