St. Augustine..... Maybe.
Shhh! Don't tell anyone (especially Murphy D. Laws), but Connie and I are going to try to get to FINALLY go to St. Augustine on Friday and Saturday. We have no game plan and no itinerary, just try to sneak out of here sometime on Friday, take a leisurely drive over there, spend the night, prowl the town on Saturday, then drive on back home. We'll be in the blue C5Z since I don't want to have to drive UNDER 55 mph the whole trip.....
We're almost out of time for this brief period of relative down time this year, so we're trying to make hay while the sun shines. Got some deliveries scheduled for Thursday, and the feeding schedule on the animals starts on Sunday, so this is the window of opportunity for us.....
If any of you might be in the area, flag us down.

You both will really enjoy the stay there...very laid back this time of year. The only "hang-up" will be dealing with any traffic issues related to the work being done on the Bridge of Lions. Your wife will enjoy browsing the shops both in the historic district as well as the outlet malls near the interstate. Then, of course, there's the Fort tour, the Gator Farm, Ripley's, and the beach.
Finding a room shouldn't be a problem either...might even want to look into one of the many bed & breakfast's near the Fort for the weekend. As far as dinner goes, we always like to visit OSteens for some superb jumbo shrimp.
Perhaps some of the "locals" will chime in here with some more options. Hope you both have a wonderful time!

Darn!
We'll miss ya's by a Day. We're going to do the bridge run on sunday, then head up later in the day, staying 3 nights at the Inn on Charlotte (B&B).
We've been there countless times and keep going back! GREAT place!

Yeah, I know. Wish we could hook up with you guys, but the scheduling just wouldn't cooperate. We'll meet up somewhere soon....
Thanks.
C6Eiland - man I just love shrimp. I'll have to keep my eyes open (yeah I ALMOST said "peeled"!) for that place. Got an address or some landmark I can look for?
Thanks.

It's not a very large restaurant, so you have to sort of keep an eye out for the sign from the road.
Easiest way to get there is passed the Fort, along the Inlet, over the Bridge of Lions, and it will be on the right shortly after that (heading toward the Beach). Here's a link to the address, etc.:

IIRC, they take cash but not sure about credit / debit cards though (?). Sometimes, depending on time of day, there may be a 30 min. wait or so.
And here's a pic of the sign from the road:
