So…as per Jill’s last post, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief time in the sun a couple days ago in Jacksonville, FL. It seemed like the perfect little retreat after some pretty chilly temperatures in the North East. Also, that part of tour always seems busier than normal. With Jill’s family being from that area, I had a friend visiting and our friends from college living in that area, the time up there seemed packed with loads of fun & busy days(ps. I did some very tourist-y things which I’ll have to blog about later.) Totally worth every second but I think that’s what made Jacksonville such a simple restful haven. We walked the beach tirelessly, strolled cute side streets & sipped coffee on patios at little local gems. We also had a little tour party out under the stars…complete with a kick butt s’more station. We played games, drank some drinks & ended the night with our feet in the water. It was dreamy.
Here are a couple pics that encapsulate my love affair with Jacksonville

You’ll get that fun in the sun back in a few weeks when you hit up Hollywood and Orlando!
Glad you had a great time

Cute gotta love the beach. I live kinda close to a beach here in the UK, always get to have fun, relaxing times with my cousins there and have evenings having mini parties out on the beach too as my cousin owns a kiosk complex on one of the beaches
Love taking photos there too!

Oooo I’m jealous. Bare feet in the sand is pretty much the best thing EVER. Enjoy the warmer weather!

What a great time it has been on your with you all. Jacksonville was a great time and beautiful weather. Glad to finally meet you all and what a blast at the Super Bowl party. Excited for the remainder of the tour.

After growing up mostly in Southern California, I think the thing I found most pleasantly surprising about going into the Atlantic Ocean in that part of the world (I was on a beach in North Carolina at the time but close enough) was how shockingly warm the water was. People seem to think the water in Southern California is so warm, but man, it’s *cold*, at least relative to North Carolina.
Nice picks, Kate. Glad everybody seems to be “be-ing” quite well on this tour.
