Tuesday, May 08, 2007 St Augustine, FL to Orlando, FL


Before saying good-bye to St. Augustine, we decided to visit Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth National Archaeological Park. This is said to be the location of Ponce de Leon’s landing in 1513. It contains the Timucuan Indian Spring that Ponce de Leon hoped was the Fountain of Youth. Of course, we sampled the water to guarantee eternal youth. I thought our name would take care of that, but I guess it never hurts to have a little extra insurance! The most interesting part of the tour was the planetarium presentation which explained the navigational methods used by the early explorers. After the tour, we drove to our new site in Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground so we would be well-positioned for an early start at Epcot Center on Wednesday.
