Vacation Spots From Virginia to Key West

By Lee (Guest Post)

Thank you all very much for the nice replies. My husband and I looked those places on-line. They are all quaint and unique. We decided to stop at Savannah, St Augustine, and Key Largo. We will also stop by at Halan and Amelia Island. We will try those restaurants some of you suggested.

Colonial Williamsburg is beautiful. We have spent the First of July there this year.
Have a nice weekend.

Amelia Island, FL just north of Jacksonville is a nice, quiet, quaint place to stay. Right off A1A

A lot of people have suggested Savannah, Ga. Savannah is very pricy. If you're looking for something that doesn't cost a whole lot of money, Helen, GA is lovely around Christmas time. It looks like an old Swiss village. Has lots of shops, and the prices are low due to it being the non-tourist season at Christmas time. My niece (who lives in Orlando) went there for her honeymoon and loved it!

Definitely Savannah, GA. I know people have mentioned it before, but I'd say it's the best bet you've got. It's a beautiful old city with soo much history!

I love St Augustine and all the old world charm it holds, please plan to stay more than one day tho to enjoy all that it holds! Make sure you eat at Paula Deen's place in Savannah too! Good ol southern cookin at its best! Have fun!!

Sarasota Florida (on the Gulf Coast) has wonderful art galleries and shops (see St Armand's Circle) and some great restaurants. It is right on US 41 (Tamiami Trail), which might be part of your route to the Keys. It is right on the Gulf. Beautiful!

Please let us know what you did and enjoyed after your trip.

St Augustine, Fl , it is a wonderful place to stay, it is almost magical with the narrow brick streets and quaint little(or big) shops. I am from Indiana, and I loved it, and have visited several times.

My first thought was Savannah, Ga. That seems like it woul be about halfway. Sounds like you'll have to make several trips to visit all these great places though! Be sure to stop at Jasper's Porch in Ridgeland, SC for a meal. You'll be glad you did! After you eat you can take a walk around the lake, or relax in a rocking chair on the porch.

It's not in the middle but Colonial Williamsburg is everything you're looking for. At Christmas it's really magical!

Savannah and St Augustine are both good bets. There is also a beautiful place in Key Largo called John Pennekamp park that is very nice for outdoor activities.

I too am biased because I live in the place I"m suggesting. Savannah, GA fits the bill for you. There are many art galleries, such as the telfair http://www.telfair.org/buildings/jepson.asp
the ray ellisgallery, and A.T. Hun.
Restaurants such as Paula Deans and Mrs Wilkes Boarding House showcase good southern home cooking, or you can enjoy fine dining at Elizabeth's on 37th (featured in Food & Wine). The variety of shops in the downtown area,many lcoated on our city jewels, our park squares, range from quaint & quirky to elegant to cutting edge. Ya'll come see us, y'hear?

Savannah, Georgia is a great place to visit. It's an old historical city with lots of squares downtown. You can take a trolley or horse drawn tour of the city. River Street is a must with its quaint, unique shops. There are alot of wonderful restaurants. I think you would love it.
