Jake and I were so amazingly lucky to be able to get out of town for the weekend a couple of days ago. We stayed at the Crown Plaza Riverfront Hotel in Jacksonville, Fl and it was an adventure, to say the least!
The picture above is the view that we had from our room. I was pretty nervous about leaving the kids for TWO nights in a row (because I've only ever been away from them for one night) but they didn't even notice that we were gone. Jake's parents generously spent their weekend at our house so we could creep out of town. Thank you Manga and Pop Pop! We sure do love you!
Jake and I had been planning on taking this trip since February so when I discovered the Groupon website I started checking it every day looking for good deals for our trip. I ended up finding some awesome restaurant Groupon's for our trip so you know we ate well! We did have to drive all over town but it was worth it. Jacksonville is a beautiful city with some AMAZING shopping.
Our first night in Jacksonville we checked into our hotel at about 9:00pm and decided at 10:00 to walk across that beautiful blue bridge over to Jacksonville Landing. Jacksonville Landing has restaurants, shopping, some delightful lights in the trees and live music! The air was balmy and cool. The breeze was light and refreshing. The river was so peaceful and even though we were surrounded by other people it really felt like we were the only two people in Jacksonville that night.

You guys are living the dream--way to go! I love vacationing in Jax, there's absolutely no one there--a total ghost town. How awesome is that?
