First stop after changing into shorts—-Chick Fil A!!! Don’t have those in Iowa and I have missed them!!!! I do love their food!!!
Second stop—the beach to dip our tootsies in and walk a bit!!! I realize how much I miss living on the beach now!!!
Let the vacation begin!!!!!!!!!!Oh Florida, I have missed you!!! Got into Jacksonville on Friday afternoon–pretty uneventful trip which was nice—and had my hubby pick me up at the airport. Luggage came through immediately (amazing!!!) and we were on our way to the hotel to change into shorts and get the vacation started!!! I was starved as I had not eaten breakfast (the sugar pops I took from the hotel were stale….how disappointing) and so a quick run through the Chick Fil A drive thru (if you don’t have one near you it is a sad thing and there are none in Iowa…:-() and then off to explore the beach a bit. Got the sand in between my toes (and on the car mats) and life is good! We went to Fort Clinch and hiked a bit and toured the fort which I will post pictures of later. I put tons up on Facebook so if you are on there check them out there.
Back to the hotel and finally got hold of Aaron who had gotten back from the big Cisco experience/interview in San Jose and got the scoop on that. He had a great time, thought the interviews went well but he interviewed with all engineers and that is not what he is so who knows. He says the competition is really stiff and even though in our eyes he is incredible he does not know if he will stack up next to the Berkley dudes/dudettes! But if nothing else—it was a great experience and Cisco, as he put it, was epic!
Today a little driving around checking out the lay of the land before we check into our condo in the afternoon. We spotted a state park we are going to go to and who knows what else we will get into today!!! I am just so excited to be here and especially to have the boys here on Tuesday!!! Yippee!!! I am so blessed. And tomorrow dinner with a friend we haven’t seen for 16 years!!! Can’t wait!
