This time it was a beauty named Irma. Irma pretty much wiped out Florida, but lucky me, our tree work was in my favorite place, Jacksonville. Daniel was there about a month before we came down, so the kids and I only got to be there a few weeks. We made the most of it, though. We got a coveted spot at Flamingo Lake Campground. What an awesome place that is!
I'll go ahead and get the beach pictures out of the way. We spent a lot of time there even though Flamingo Lake isn't near the beach. We went to Jax Beaches a few times, but our favorite is Mickler's Landing in Ponte Vedra.
If you are ever in Jacksonville, you must visit Sweet by Holly. 30 flavors of cupcakes in mini sizes. Addicting...
We spent an exorbitant amount of money to go to Boo at the Zoo. I wasn't impressed.
We spent Halloween in Florida, and it was perfect. This was from the trick-or-treat night at the campground. So. Much. Candy. The big Florida-Georgia game was the next day in Jacksonville, and the campground was packed!!
Meme came down to visit while we were there. Her best friend Ricki lives there, and she is so sweet! Just the best hostess and a great friend. I've known her and her sons since I was born, and we had a little reunion. It was so good to see everyone! And could that backdrop be any prettier?!
On Halloween Day Meme, Ricki, the kids, and I went to St. Augustine. I wanted it to be a little field trip for Avery. We had a yummy seafood lunch then went into the heart of the city to walk down the main street full of shops. However, right when we got there some idiotic, ignorant, plenty more adjective/expletive college students were protesting a poor grandmother who works at a bakery on that street. She dressed like Aunt Jemima, black face and all, and these entitled, attention-seeking children thought this was a good opportunity to make it on the news.
I was beyond angry, and we just left. I don't even have words for this sad, Millennial generation. So my little field trip idea went bust. Oh well. St. Augustine is still beautiful.
We hit the jackpot when we decided to trick or treat in Ricki's neighborhood. There was not one crappy piece of candy to be found. It was all the good stuff. It was just a fun time all around.
We left Jacksonville a few days later. We went to Meme's for a few days, Fayetteville for a few days, Paducah for Thanksgiving, and now we are in Indiana again. So, in the month of November we have been in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois, and Indiana. Gypsy life is tiring.
December is Indiana is going to be awesome!
