Our tour around Jacksonville included a lot of time spent in the
car and the beginning of our crazy trip.
Matthew’s father Doug decided to take us to the beach… unfortunately we
quickly realized that was not going to happen as the road was closed. I did a little research and found out there
was a marathon going on.
We decided to
change directions and instead go west to a battleground site. It wasn't until we were about a mile away
that we found out it too was closed but due to a re-enactment that was going
on. I wish we would have known earlier
because I would have loved to go to the re-enactment but it wasn't worth it for
just ½ an hour.
The one thing that did work out for us was that we were able to
eat at Cracker Barrel. I absolutely love
the Cracker Barrel and the memories from eating there on vacations. Although our plans didn't work it was
enjoyable to spend the day with Doug.
Stopping by for a home cooked meal.
Stopping by a battlefield we could visit... though not quite the same.
The next day we finally made it to the beach. He took us to a quiet section of the beach
that many people don’t know about. There
were only a handful of people there so it was peaceful to walk around and enjoy
the beauty. I love the beach… listening
to the waves… but more than anything I loved watching Matthew interact with his
father.

What a view...
I am at my happy place..!
