JACKSONVILLE

THIS WOULD BE THE LAST LEG OF INTERSTATE 10, WE HAD BEEN ON IT SINCE  LEAVING ARIZONA.

WE DIDN'T HAVE FAR TO DRIVE....JACKSONVILLE WAS  CLOSE.

 WE WERE GLAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD...LOTS OF TRAFFIC .....THIS IS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

 WE ARRIVED AT PECAN PARK  BY NOON AND GOT ALL SET UP. IT IS A PASSPORT AMERICA PARK.

ANOTHER NICE LARGE, PULL THRU SITE.

WE WERE GLAD TO FIND A SHOPPING CENTER THAT WAS  CLOSE TO THE PARK. WALMART HAD FLORIDA ORANGES, THE FIRST ONES  WE'VE  FOUND IN FLORIDA.

THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT TO THE PECAN PARK  FLEA MARKET THAT IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE RV PARK.

WE ONLY BOUGHT BOILED PEANUTS.....IT WAS ALL PRETTY MUCH  JUNK.
THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE OVER  TO JACKSONVILLE LANDING. JACKSONVILLE IS A BEAUTIFUL CITY.

JACKSONVILLE IS ON THE ST. JOHNS RIVER, WHICH EMPTIES INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

JACKSONVILLE LANDING IS ON THE RIVERWALK WITH LOTS OF LITTLE SHOPS AND MUSIC TODAY.

WE WALKED ON THE RIVERWALK A WHILE AND WERE LOOKING INTO THE WATER WHEN DARRELL NOTICED SOMETHING IN THE WATER....... 

IT WAS A DOLPHIN!

 I WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY A DOLPHIN WOULD BE IN A RIVER.....I ASKED SOME NICE FOLKS AND THEY SAID THEY WILL COME UP RIVER A WAYS LOOKING FOR FOOD. THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAVE BEEN COMING TO JACKSONVILLE LANDING RIVERWALK FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A DOLPHIN HERE.  WOW!!

 WE FELT FORTUNATE!! 

 WE DECIDED TO GO CHECK OUT THE SHOPS AND MUSIC.

WE BOUGHT AN ICE CREAM CONE AND LISTENED TO THE MUSIC FOR A WHILE.

IT WAS FUN JUST SITTING OUTSIDE " PEOPLE WATCHING!"  HAD TO GET HOME....BIG DAY TOMORROW....I  FOUND A BEAUTY SCHOOL ONLINE AND WAS GETTING MY HAIR DONE.....FINALLY!!!
