A new day trip coming very soon!
Can you guess where we are going?

I wander back to days gone by,
Where lanterns glow beneath the sky.
A village dressed in winter cheer,
With twinkling lights this time of year.

Old storefronts shine with festive grace,
As Christmas fills this historic place.
In grand rivers, memories stay,
Like stepping back to yesterday.

A settlement from long ago,
Made warm beneath the holiday glow.

What merry place could this one be?

The Watkins Shared Adventures snack-mobile has officially been loaded up for Niagara Falls!

That mountain of chips, crackers, popcorn, cookies, and snacks you see? That’s all headed north to help keep our travelers happy between stops, sightseeing, and border crossings. 🇺🇸➡️🇨🇦

Somewhere under all those snack boxes there’s technically still a vehicle. We think.

Now the important question…
What’s the first snack you’d grab from this pile? 👀🍿🥨🍪

Ready to trade early autumn weather for sunshine, sea breezes, and palm trees? Join Watkins Shared Adventures this late September as we head to the beautiful coast of Northeast Florida for six relaxing days filled with history, scenery, and coastal charm.

This getaway features historic St. Augustine, vibrant Jacksonville, and a relaxing beach day on beautiful Amelia Island! Instead of a guided island tour, travelers will have time to slow down and enjoy the Atlantic coastline, stroll the beach, relax by the water, explore Fernandina Beach, or simply enjoy a peaceful day by the ocean.

Trip Highlights Include:
• Relaxing beach day on Amelia Island
• Time in charming Fernandina Beach
• Guided tour of St. Augustine — America’s oldest city
• Free time on historic St. George Street
• Admission to the Fountain of Youth
• Narrated cruise on the scenic St. Johns River
• Guided tour of Jacksonville
• Dinner party with entertainment
• Comfortable motorcoach transportation, lodging, meals, and gratuities included

Late September is one of the best times to visit Florida’s northeast coast — warm temperatures, coastal breezes, and fewer crowds make for the perfect relaxing escape before the busy holiday season begins.

September 28 – October 3, 2026

If you’ve been looking for a laid-back coastal getaway with just the right mix of sightseeing and relaxation, this is it. Seats are limited and expected to fill quickly.
