Both downtown Jacksonville and St. Augustine had activities with Fireworks to ring in the new year. We chose St. Augustine because the activities were on the beach and they ended at 10:00 with fireworks. Hey don't laugh at us for being old! That was not the reason we chose St. Augustine. We thought with it being a 25 minute drive back to the marina we would be off the rode before the crazies! It was a nice warm night making the walk along the beach with music in the background a great way to enjoy the end of the year. While I roamed around and through the crowds Tom watched some of the football playoffs. There were lots of food booths, activities for kids, and wonderful fireworks. Back at the marina by 11:15, we took our chairs and a bottle of bubbly and walked out to the end of the 1/4 mile concrete pier to watch the fireworks from Jacksonville and other surrounding towns. The sky over the water was filled with color from every direction. It was like watching fireworks in surround sound.
