Good Bye, Jacksonville

Good Bye, Jacksonville

We (Tigger & Boo) enjoyed our last day/evening in Jacksonville by walking down memory lane. We visited the coffee shop we frequented, long before the new owners took over and it became known as Lillie's Coffee Bar. This was definitely one of our favorite date...

Walter Jones Historical Park

We accidentally found this gem just 7 min from our house one day. It quickly became our favorite park for the remainder of our time in Jacksonville. It's a beautiful park to walk around, feel the breeze of the St. Johns River, do some fishing on the dock, or enjoy...

San Marco

We enjoyed an evening in San Marco. We first stopped by Landon Park to let the girls burn out some energy. We then stopped by High Tide Burrito Co. for dinner (another place we highly recommend!). Afterwards we walked around San Marco Square (we again unexpectedly ran...

Old Florida Museum

I was able to join Peanut on her class field trip to the Old Florida Museum. It has got to be one of the coolest field trips ever. They learned about Indians and early pioneers. They were able to enjoy many hands-on activities and even sit in an old schoolhouse. I'm...

Downtown Jacksonville

Downtown Jacksonville

I heard from one of our friends that Downtown Jacksonville had transitioned into a more festive atmosphere during the day. On Good Friday, with school being out for all the girls, we decided to venture into downtown. We first enjoyed a craft time at the main library...

Little Talbot & Fort George

We took a 40-min drive to Little Talbot Island State Park. It was a bit chilly for us Floridians, but the girls had fun running around on the beach. It was Nator's first beach encounter. Afterwards we headed to nearby Fort George Island Cultural State Park where we...

Nocatee Preserve Trail

Nocatee Preserve Trail

We ventured out to Nocatee Preserve Trail (about 15 min from our house) one morning. We ran into a lot of older people hiking in groups. We did not walk the whole trail (4 miles long); it's a very nice, serene trail with lots of trees/shades. The girls had fun...

St. Augustine

Our Parry adventures began on New Year's Day 2015. We were starting to come out of the "newborn fog" (although the baby wasn't sleeping through the night yet), and we also realized that the countdown has begun...we were leaving Jacksonville in less than 5 months! So...
