Default Visited Fla for the first time

Hey guys, I just got back from Florida after visiting family there for the first time. I stayed in the St. Augustine area and it was great. There is so much history in that city. Loved all the green, the nice roads (the roads in Ca are full of ruts and potholes), and noticed there was no graffiti on the freeway signs ( I guess another Ca staple). Went to the pump and the gas is 60 cents a gallon cheaper. You guys also have 93 octane! Being a southern ca surfer as well I didn't expect much in waves, but was pleasantly surprised while surfing decent waves at A st ( really nice people at the Pit Surf Shop). It was a great trip and I plan on making it a yearly tradition.

The recent weather we,ve had here accounted for larger than average waves. St Augustine is a good little vacation spot for once in a while. Being me & the wife live in Jacksonville, just north of there, it's been a fall back mini vacation spot for us.
Glad you enjoyed the tourist roads, we got potholes here too.
