Good but really cold! - We went on the Osprey which was supposed to be adults only, but there were kids too. That was odd, but not a big deal, it just left me wondering. It was 37 degrees out and absolutely freezing! I was not prepared to be that cold. If they had blankets to pass out, it would have been so much better. The tour was fun and Rose did a good job telling us some history about St. Augustine. The lights were really pretty from the water.

St. Augustine Winter Holiday Lights Cruise - I loved seeing the white lights on the buildings and trees in St. Augustine, but I didn't enjoy the long boat ride to and from the area. Our guide, Maurice, pointed out historical information along the way, but his talk lacked excitement or humor. The best part of the trip was several trips around the lights which provided ample time for photo ops! The worst part was finding out we could have saved 15% off our bill at Kingfish Grill AFTER we enjoyed a delicious dinner there prior to our cruise!
