Seeking advice from knowledgeable folk about this city. Have a couple of days to spend here during a family reunion in Orlando around December. Any tips?

I'm looking out for nature/cityscapes, interesting historical architecture, or anything remotely photogenic!

I'm here in town this week for my first visit. Downtown St. Augustine is GREAT. Lots of opportunities for pictures. It's a very old city. Lots of history. There's a fort right in town that you should get some good shots of. There's also a local lighthouse.

Saturday is my last day here. I'm hoping to get my daughter (2 years old) up and over to the downtown area so I can get some nice pictures of her. The old buildings in town offer neat textures and color.

Sounds good. I read somewhere that the lighthouse is haunted...do they turn it on at nightfall?

By the way I forgot to mentioned this,

STAY AT THE DOWN TOWN SAINT AUGUSTINE Romoda inn, It's cheaper then on sr 16 and it's close to the action of everything.
