It's beautiful in St. Augustine today, 80 degrees and the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky. The hotel lobby is busy with guests who seem to be in the holiday spirit already. Saturday night was the start of the Nights of Lights Festival, which lasts until the end of January. As soon as dusk softens the city, millions of tiny white lights illuminate historic buildings, cobblestone streets and the horse drawn carriages that wait at the bayfront for visitors.

It's a great time to be in St. Augustine and The Casa Monica Hotel is the very center of it all. Thanksgiving is Thursday and our Thanksgiving Grand Buffet is promising to be as bountiful as always.
