If you are staying for a few days and want to take a day trip to the oldest town in the US then you must go to St.Augustine FL. It’s only a 2 hour drive through farms and gorgeous pine forests, so if you leave right after breakfast you will make it just in time for lunch.

City advice
Getting around
Car
Even though some of the roads are not paved our county does a great job of maintaining everything. You don’t need a truck and a regular sedan will be just fine.
