Daddy-Daughter Dates are some of the best experiences in a girl’s life! My hubby, Austin, took our oldest daughter, Audrey on a date around our St. Augustine golf course community.  Audrey didn’t know what the day had in store for her, but she knew wherever they went a tutu and lip gloss was a must! When they ended up in front of Justice, a fashionable girl’s store located at the St. Augustine Prime Outlets, Audrey got so excited.  Being the best date a daddy can be entailed looking at every single item in the store before deciding on a pair of “Super Skinny Jeans”.  One of the benefits to the residents of World Golf Village is the convenience of the numerous shops located on State Road 16, which is one exit down off of I-95.

All that looking and shopping worked up an appetite! Next, they went to the Renaissance Resort in WGV at 500 South, a contemporary American grill restaurant located inside the resort. Audrey had the best  mac n’ cheese, while Austin feasted on the lunch buffet. He had mashed potatoes, turkey sliders, fried chicken, roasted vegetables – just to name a few. But, the best was the homemade tomato bisque! Now after that you would think a nap would be in order, but not for these two!

Although the Slammer & Squire is too advanced for Audrey’s golfing skills, a little putt putt at the 18- hole putting course is not!  This is not your typical putting experience. The course is fully grassed, well maintained and very picturesque. The views on the mini-golf course include a view of the lake, Hall of Fame, the island green (out in the middle of the lake) and a neat little bridge to walk over.

Harry Potter in 3D at the IMAX was up next. If you have not had the opportunity to see a movie at the WGV IMAX, you are missing out. It is the largest 3D digital screen in the Southeast with 28,000 watts of sound. There was definitely some snugglin’ because Audrey was scared, but I think that was daddy’s plan.

After the movie, they walked through the Hall of Fame. Audrey’s favorite part was going up in the glass elevator with the view of the island green and the beautiful area. When they got to the top in the trophy room, they spent some time enjoying the view.  Both arrived home tired from their wonderful day in WGV.
