Traveling North! We Stay at Historic Bed & Breakfast (Is It an Ancestor?)

Traveling North! We Stay at a Historic Bed & Breakfast (Is It an Ancestor?) (SN 7 - EP 232)
ℹ️ About this episode:
This week on, LivinRVision, we start our journey north to leave Florida, but first we make a stop in St. Augustine, FL. About 3 years ago, we visited Saint Augustine and released a video. While we were there, Michelle noticed a Bed and Breakfast with her maiden name. So this time we thought we would stay there for just one night and possibly even find out more info about Dr. John Westcott.
During this trip and our continued Journey North, we will be doing a lot of dry-camping and really test the Grech RV Strada-Ion to see if we can go without needing to stay at an RV park. So be sure to follow along during this journey!
We hope you enjoy the show!🧡😊🤓

We get stuck in st Augustine for at least 4 days everytime we are near there.. so many things to do and great walking tours. Carriage tour was a bucket list and worth every penny.

[@christieflesch3750]

Love bed-and-breakfast ❤❤❤

[@judye2805]

Thank you for our visit to St Augustine and The Westcott Bed and Breakfast. You have a wonderful and warm way of including all of us. As you learn all the history where ever you visit you include all of us. This really encourages me to visit St Augustine sooner rather than later and knowing there's a Columbia Restaurant there really is a plus. I had lunch at the one in Tampa several years ago and the whole experience was amazing. Your salad looked delicious and topped off with the bread pudding, oh my! I must make plans. Thank you again and Safe travels.

[@howardbarry1074]

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU MICHELLE (Lucy!) AND BRIAN (Ricky!) AND YOUR LOVING FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

[@debbiemurphy5553]

I love you two!! Your sense of humour, the way you show your adventures, such a joy to watch!!

[@TravelingonAdventures]

Definitely looked like an incredible Bed & Breakfast. St. Augustine looks beautiful. We are getting excited to get back on the road again now that the shop finally has an engine for our RV.

[@ElliottMorris]

I enjoyed this video very much. I especially liked seeing you at work in the van - a peek into the details of your life. I also enjoyed seeing the B&B, and it looks amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@helenguilford7510]

I love staying in Bed and Breakfasts. I feel safer there, than I a hotel. And most are very clean. 😊

[@jeanneprice6736]

what a fabulous B&B. This was a good video.

[@vince8705]

There is a parking lot behind the school that is for bus and Rv parking “free”. Last time we were there saw sign that said to call a number for a overnight pass.

[@susanhoover7925]

What a sweet husband! Westcott looked beautiful Room with a view. My maiden name is Carlton. Maybe I will be taken to The Carlton Hotel!!!🥳susanne in Montana. PS your husband makes me laugh😊

[@santiagocarranco5453]

Howdy guys! You talk about working I thought you were retired. Great fun lifestyle. Enjoy and be safe

[@staceycoughlin]

You helped us with our current stay here! Love this city.

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@teriglad1]

What a wonderful BNB. Love that you could sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise.

[@Brian-5150]

I have added this to my must see stops. If you are ever in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area check out the Buckhorn Inn Bed and Breakfast. Stayed there first time in February and it was amazing.

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Banagal]

Westcott B&B did not disappoint and we will stay there next time we're in Florida. My mother was born in Florida and shared many enchanting stories with us through our lives. Such a beautiful state so many with memories. My grandparents owned a house with all the southern charm and a porch with rocking chairs. This video brought back so many warm memories. Thank you both for all your hard work to share them with us in KZbin land. I'm going to watch this one again and share with my sisters.

[@LivinRVision]

So glad it brought enjoyment and fond memories to you! 🧡😊🤓

[@sandylafleur6330]

Love the tour of bed and breakfast. And the “scroll thur to find it comment.. could not stop laughing See u next week

[@LivinRVision]

😉🤣

[@fran2177]

Ken & I love everything about St. Augustine. I've sen the Westcott Inn and said we should stay there next trip to Florida. My favorite attraction is the Pirate museum. Its amazing! I loved this video, actually love them ALL, you guys do a great job. Charleston, isnt that where they make baskets from palms? See you next Saturday and HAPPY EASTER 🌷🐇

[@LivinRVision]

Happy Easter!

[@garythovson2587]

Looks very relaxing.I love bread pudding. Safe travels on the way back to Iowa. We are still in Texas waiting on the rocket launch.

[@LivinRVision]

We’ll have to get together when we’re all back in Iowa. 🧡

[@garythovson2587]

@@LivinRVision yes we will!

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Another interesting ad-VAN-ture. Brian I know most people didn’t notice your excellent editing again, but I did. When you first sat down at the Mexican restaurant a guy with a green shirt was getting up, the next shot with the chips a guy with a purple shirt was there. Your editing was so seamless! Great Job 👏!!!! Looked like a cool place to stay. I am not a Westcott, but a West is in my tree 😊. Lithium package is being installed in 🍒 💣 for the next few days! He is a Winnebago Travato Guru, he does all kinds of mods! Came from Tennessee on his way up to Alaska. Anyway we are very excited! He is also putting in the automatic Generator start for the A/C. So like you, we will be able to run the A/C . Yahoo . Be Safe❤

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you so much for the kudos! 🧡 You’ll really enjoy those lithium batteries. 👍🏻

[@harterbob]

If you are Harvest Host members, we recommend the Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club. Huge parking lot and good food at the club.

[@sheilacaine]

One of my favorite spots. I’m a Florida woman. Been here since I was 4 years old.

[@stelbotadventures]

Your facial expressions are hilarious! Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidoverholt251]

Thank you for sharing, I have always wanted to spend time in St Augustine, FL. after my drives to Orlando to see the Mouse when the kids were young in the 90's!

[@lindao1327]

I would love to stay at that B&B ! Such an interesting video. Thanks Brian and Michelle.

[@LewisAdventures]

Very happy for you two. I really enjoy seeing your adventures.

[@susananderson618]

The FANTASTIC videos continue! What a great BnB! Absolutely beautifully decorated and the food looked amazing. Safe travels as you continue north. We hit the road this week heading from Arizona to Utah to spend the summer workamping!

[@LivinRVision]

Safe travels!!

[@janethorvath7948]

We were in St. Augustine on Saturday, 4/1. Sad that we missed you. Drove from Jacksonville, where we were staying. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Had a wonderful dinner at River and Fort Restaurant. Safe travels as you head north.

[@LivinRVision]

Glad you had a great time there!

[@jolenecreech7648]

Your overnight stay at the B and B looked magnificent. Very nice accommodations! 😊❤. Happy Easter 🐣 Brian and Michelle.

[@LivinRVision]

Happy Easter!!

[@redd8209]

I love watching your videos every Saturday mornng over coffee, but today was specal to me. I love genealogy and the idea that the Westcott B&B could have been built by your ancestors!! well hope you look into it

[@LivinRVision]

So glad you enjoyed it! Maybe I can talk my brother into doing the research lol. He has already done a lot of it for that side of our family. 🧡

[@melindakrueger7765]

Love and never miss your videos! Michelle, you always have the best travel bags! Do tell!! Love the size of this black one you have!

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you! The small black sling purse I have is a Kedzie and it has multiple options for wearing the strap that I really like. If you go to our LivinRvision.com website, click on our Amazon store and in For The Ladies we have the purse in there if you want to look at other colors, etc. We also have two black Osprey backpacks we use as our luggage and have had since 2016. They work as carryon size and are great for traveling!

[@bobpappas2858]

Excellent video. Touring all of Florida is one of our bucket list items to do. My grandfather toured Florida in 1958 with a good friend of his in a brand new 58 Pontiac. Drove all the way from Manitoba Canada. That was before the Interstate Highway System. Yikes!! Been to Orlando a couple of times, and going back there in a few weeks with some of our grandchildren. Take care.

[@ly2sing]

Love St. Augustine. I go there for day trips quite often, but I have never stayed. I am about a 50 minute drive from where your were; I live in Jacksonville. The B&B could be a fun little getaway some day! Have been to the Columbian a time or two. I love to visit the Shrine in St. Augustine; that’s my favorite meditation place. The trees used to be much prettier on the grounds there, before the big hurricanes hit. Has never really been the same since. They also excavated my sacred spot, under a once beautiful tree. They found what they believe to be the remains of a church under the very ground where I used to sit and meditate under the tree. That was quite interesting when I went to visit one day, and found ‘my spot’ had been roped off and dug up. Anyway, that is my connection with the beautiful town of St. Augustine. It has become more touristy in the past several years, so I do not find myself visiting as often as I once had. Especially since the hurricanes destroyed much of the beautiful grounds that I enjoyed most. I used to take peanuts to share with the squirrels, jays, and woodpeckers. It’s coming back slowly, but it is a shame that much of the beautiful big tree growth with the hanging moss is gone; as well as my sacred meditation spot. Fond memories. 💕🙏🏻

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and connection to St. Augustine. It is very sad how much the hurricanes have changed things.

[@jimjessup3979]

A great coverage of the B&B. Also, you put a lot of time into choosing music that accompanies your videos - the best of the many UTubers we follow. Excellent work.

[@tanya334]

Absolutely Beautiful B&B ❤ Safe Travels ❤️

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

You guys what a nice b & b! Beautiful! Thank you & all the food looked so good! 👻

[@billpitts1034]

That sound like a fish story for the bread pudding. Michelle's smaller, Brian's BIGGER. 😅 Beautiful place you stayed.

[@LivinRVision]

😂 😜

[@abbymoser8996]

I loved this video. Fun to see the places I have never visited !

[@Risa_Lee99]

nice video guys :) stay safe and blessed

[@7113cole]

What a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@IbnAir23]

Many of your videos are amazing. Your positivity and uplifting videos have inspired my wife and I for our future endeavors. And many of your videos have brought us happiness to view through some rough life events in the past year. Thank you for being you and sharing your blessing with the world. You two are truly inspiring. May you have safe travels and good health. ❤ Wishing you the best from Indiana.

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@larrygray1557]

Very nice B&B. Have eaten at that Columbia - and several others, including Ybor City, but will have to try the Mexican Restaurant next time. Haven't watched your video from 3 years ago and you may have stayed there, but a few blocks past the lighthouse is the entrance to Anastasia State Park, a very popular camping destination with its beaches and convenience to St Augustine.

[@betteandlinuskuboushek409]

great video! We are tentatively planning a trip to St. Augustine next winter so this was really interesting. B&B looked wonderful! Safe travels...Happy Easter! Can't wait to see where you end up next :)

[@LivinRVision]

Happy Easter!!

[@michelebrown1341]

Michelle, I know you love peach so the next time you are at Bucee’s, go to the bakery counter and try a peach muffin! They are soooo good! Sometimes sold out too, so you have to get one when you can! 😊

[@LivinRVision]

Oooh, I’ll have to try that!! 🤤

[@lauragarmon6969]

We stayed at the Wescott B&B in 2019 and loved it! We had the room directly under the one in which you stayed. We enjoyed your perspective of the inn.

[@LivinRVision]

We were on the main level in the Caroline room but we also showed the room up in the loft. So maybe you stayed in the room next to where we were? Glad you had a great stay there!

[@rafe496]

My wife and I went to Charleston for 3 days last year and it was amazing. We decided it was in our top 3 vaca spots.

[@quintonmiller6321]

Hello guys! We have just found you on uTube. We are in serious shopping mode for a Strada-ion Tour and you have enlightened us with your tremendous videos. We saw where you measured the height of the rear of your van but our question is what is the height of the shower? We don’t have a Strada-ion within 200 miles. We have thoroughly reviewed the Airstream Interstate and found that my head actually hit the ceiling in the Airstream. I am exactly 6 ft so really curious about the Strada-ion. Just subscribed and looking forward to all your videos! GREAT CONTENT! THANKS!😊

[@LivinRVision]

Welcome to our channel! The bathroom height is 6’3/4” but then you have the small round light that sticks down about an inch. If you’re like us and everyone else that are attracted to the Class B, it’s not the bathroom that entices someone to go that route, it’s all the other benefits that fits the lifestyle of traveling that they want to live. We find that the bathroom is handy to have for cleaning up and quick “navy showers”, but we always utilize either a campground shower or a truck stick while traveling whenever possible. For us, we have felt that the benefits of the Class B has outweighed the negative aspects of the smaller shower. You have to do what you feel is best for you, not someone else though. We’re so happy you are enjoying our videos! We sure hope we get the honors to meet y’all sometime! 🧡😊🤓

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Looks like you guys had the perfect date night.

[@nancymcshane3501]

I lived not far from the B&B, on Aviles St. in a haunted Civil War apartment. Glad y’all had fun. After living in both St. Augustine and Key West, I’m happy to be in an area that’s not as touristy!

[@karenstasik2979]

Need to get up to St Augustine! It looks amazing

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

Great place to stay! Happy Easter!

[@LivinRVision]

Happy Easter!

[@smccourt02720]

Catching up on videos after a busy spell. this was fun! Great tourist ideas. I have a question: why do you run the A/C in the empty van?

[@LivinRVision]

Because we have a lot of things stored in the cabinets including food & vitamin bottles.

[@ournexttrail]

I love your videos! ❤

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@bethharrington945]

Wow, what a beautiful place!! I know where I want to go for our Anniversary. After your cruise, then Westcott Bed and Breakfast, it's time to get into some nature, skip the cracker barrel, lol. 😁🏞 Just kidding, ...as aways, great video. Thanks guys. 😎

[@spencerbrown2970]

I live just a few miles from there, we also have a strada ion. Next time your in the st.augustine area your welcome to stay at our place. 5 acres with rv pad.

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you for the offer! 🧡

[@PlankPlank36]

I hope Grech is reading this because you two are a reason we are seriously looking at a Strada vs Leisure Van. Plus I’m RV obsessed and follow a lot of content creators and you are by far the most engaging (like by a lot). Thank you and keep up the great work. p.s. tell Michelle she works too hard 😊

[@LivinRVision]

Aww thank you for the very nice words. 🧡🤓 I do but I also work mostly an 8 hr day and only 5 days a week. So many people don’t realize how much Brian works and can not possibly be seen through our videos. I think it’s the “KZbin stigma” that others get in their heads. He is such a hard worker and the only time he takes off is when we go out to eat or have an evening with friends. I try to help with these comments, social media comments and private messages in the evenings while he is still working on editing and other things related to the channel. I enjoy the social media/community stuff (as does Brian) but it’s not like work to men, it’s a break from my job. 😂 Let us know if we can be of any help. We don’t try to tell anyone what they should purchase, because we are all different, but maybe we can answer questions.

[@teresaburleson7226]

What type of work? I would like to do something and be able to travel 😍

[@LivinRVision]

Payroll and this KZbin channel. Flexjobs website is a great place to find remote work.

[@patmcdaniel9612]

Looked like a really neat place to stay. The question is, did you find any good donuts?........lol Safe travels my friends!!!

[@LivinRVision]

😂 🍩 Safe travels to you too!

[@randyshay7280]

Howdy Brian and Michele!

[@LivinRVision]

👋🏻🤠 👋🏻🤓

[@sandrap3047]

Love St Augustine! It's such a beautiful city! Isn't that salad the best salad ever? I could drive to St Augustine just to get that salad. I'll have to try the bread pudding the next time!

[@LivinRVision]

It is! 😋

[@seekingjoynow1722]

This video was a gem. Besides the two of you being lovable, the scenes and music are perfectly matched. Keep traveling so we can enjoy your experience.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

Loved the video, what a cool place to stay. Long ago I was sailing a boat from VA to Titusville FL and spent a few days anchored off shore just north of the bridge of Lions. At that time some of the sail boats on the south side had homeless people living in them and we would see them rowing to shore every morning and coming back at night to go do some day jobs on shore. I also saw this a lot in Titusville. When a marina has a boat that's not paying there fees they can get a new title for it after some legal paperwork and put it up for sale. If it does not sell, they strip it, drag it out and anchor it off shore and the homeless people just move in. What often happens is, rich snowbirds have there boats hauled out to be stored on shore for the summer months, one of the couples passes away and no one in the family has any interest in the boat so it becomes abandon.

[@LivinRVision]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@teresaburleson7226]

​@@LivinRVision😯wow

[@garrycollie2135]

You gave that beautiful breakfast a "9" after raving about it.... I'm curious what would have made it a 10? 😂😂 Marilyn C PS: see any ghosts or ghostly happenings? 👻

[@LivinRVision]

I don’t think we’ve given anything a 10 rating as nothing is perfect, lol. However, a 9 or 9.5 is pretty darn close to perfect! No ghosts spotted this time, lol.

[@kathycampbell8000]

That B&B looked really nice, but uuummm…. I don’t do haunted, sorry lol!! I sure hope you guys took advantage of that soaking tub!!! Oh my gosh, I loved that! I hope I’m not too late, because I’m not sure how behind your videos are, but if you’re coming into VA let me know, I would love to meet up with you when you get here!! Send me a message 😁👍 safe travels!!

[@LivinRVision]

We’re unsure yet if we will be going through VA yet. We left SC yesterday and in GA today. We’re back to moving quite a bit again. We’d love to meet you if we do. Send us a message on FB, IG or email so we have a way of letting you know. 😊🤓

[@neilcherylscott6380]

Ever stay at Anastasia State Park in St Augustine? Great park with many RV spots and an oceanfront beach. Tough to get into tho.

[@LivinRVision]

We have not stayed there before.

[@gdholmfirth]

We used to live in Cape Canaveral. Nice part of the world. Did you guys not visit the lighthouse in St. Augustine?

[@LivinRVision]

Not this time.

[@ashleyjohnson220]

Just started watching your channel. What do you all do for a living? Would love to find a remote job and travel/work like this!

[@LivinRVision]

Hello & welcome to our channel! I (Michelle) work remotely for the same company I did before we started living/working/traveling fulltime 4 years ago. Brian works fulltime with our channel and business and all that it encompasses.

[@littlerascal6112]

Many years ago I had to travel for work and the company booked me a room at a B&B in Bucyrus, Ohio. It was an old house repurposed to a B&B and in my opinion SPOOKY looking… bwahaha… it was difficult for me to go to sleep especially with one eye open. 😮 👻

[@patk7942]

Last time I was in St. Augustine, about five years ago, there was a lot of homeless people. It seemed like every place we went to someone was asking for handouts. I did not see anything like that in your video. Did you see a lot homeless people? I would love to go back again but don't to be looking over my shoulder ever second. I been to St. Augustine twice and the first time was great. The second time not so much because of all the folks asking for handouts.

[@LivinRVision]

We did see a few but the only area we saw them was in the old historic area.

[@cynthiasmith4966]

No ghost visitation for you?

[@LivinRVision]

We did not see or hear any during our time there. Maybe next time! 😉 👻

[@Beckykay.456]

Nope ! I would just sleep on the porch… crazy Ghost…

[@LivinRVision]

😂 We didn’t experience anything unusual while we were there. They said nothing ever “bad” happens, just unusual things once in a while.

[@moxymaxx5350]

How thick was it Michelle?? Wow, that thick?🤪

[@LivinRVision]

😂 😜
