Hey Friends!! I love exploring National Parks and Monuments. We are thinking we may try and visit every one! 😆 Which National Park is your favorite?

I've been to St. Augustine and the Castillo a couple of times and I learned more from this video than I did on my own visits. Thanks.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit, go! The whole atmosphere of St Augustine is amazing no matter what you do.

I agree!

We love this fort! One of the coolest things was seeing the cannonball holes in the wall!

[@ChrissaTravels]

That is such an amazing thing to see on this fort. It’s crazy to think how many people have passed through these drawbridges.
