"free boat ride!"

If you  are in St Augustine you can just spend some time here.The good part about this national monument is that they take u to the fort by boat.Once u reach the entrance and park ur car,they will take u to the fort in boat.Once u reach the fort,u will have free guided  tour of the fort and the boat will take u back to the entrance where your car is parked.Kids would love boat ride and fort tour.Kids would have a informative tour.
