Sand traps & Jellyfish on the Gulf Island Seashore {Florida}
It was our last morning and we were looking at a day of driving to get back home. Alabama had proved a fun weekend and we were hesitant to have it end. We were following our route from the last few day on a map of the Mobile Bay and Brad points to a spot…

Wet & Wild at Volcano Bay {Florida}
During our weekend at Universal Studios we decided to take a day off from the thrills of the theme park and instead enjoy some watery fun at the the water park Volcano Bay. For all the times we visited the theme parks while we lived in Florida, we never made it over to this water…

Moments & Misadventures :: Fly The Falcon? Hold My Blue Milk.

Year In Review :: 2020
Whew, what a year it has been right! This has been a hard year, there’s no question about it. It has been hard on everyone for different reasons- no one has not been affected in some form or fashion this year. And if you’re like me, you may be feeling a little apprehensive about what…

On The Road From There To Here
Whew, what a crazy couple of weeks it has been for us! We got our house in Florida all packed up and ready to go and took one last walk along the Banana River. We had a glorious sendoff in the form of the sunset after a storm. It was incredible! We decided to leave…

Fernandina Beach Historic District {Florida}
Amelia Island is one of the prettiest places in Florida. And the historic district of Fernandina Beach makes for a lovely drive. It was the last Spanish settlement in the western hemisphere established in 1811 and is now listed on the National Historic Districts of the country. Beautiful houses line the streets with large green…

Jacksonville Southbank Riverwalk {Florida}
We made it to Jacksonville, checked into our hotel, and then went down to the riverwalk. We went to the Southbank Riverwalk and were rewarded with beautiful views of the city and the river. Under the bridge was an incredible mosaic of blue and glass tiles in swirling patterns. It was so beautiful and if…
