Jacksonville, Florida October 2013 |
Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts
of those who travel the way with us.
of those who travel the way with us.
O, be swift to love!
Make haste to be kind.
Do you ever say to yourself, 'last week I was in ____'. Well, last week Rob and I spent two days in Jacksonville, Florida with dear friends we've known since our California years. After they gave us a tour of the area, which by the way, has the same beachy feel as several west coast towns that we're familiar with, we ate lunch at a seafood cafe that overlooked the Atlantic. Afterwards, we strolled along the beach where I collected a shell or two, a hobby I began years ago.
Travel TiP: If you don't have a lot of money to purchase souvenirs, start collecting special items, i.e. rocks, shells, or even sand ... something to remember your travels by.

Another Travel TiP: Take time to drive off the main highways and byways to find your special place to return.
We stayed in a cozy Bed and Breakfast, ( www.darienriverfrontinn.com -- we'll stay here when we return next year for a longer visit). We had a delicious dinner at a romantic little restaurant a stone's throw away from our room, right on the waterfront. Can't get much better than that!
Welcome to the second oldest planned city in Georgia. Lots of fun things to do ... Bike riding, kayaking, exploring the history, or ... |
relaxing with a book and a glass of wine. So please ... |
... drop by the next time you're in the area. (deck of B and B overlooking the Darien River) |
Wait! There's more... another Travel TiP: Be flexible with your schedule. Be open to find new places to explore. You'll meet friendly people along the way, and for that, it is well worth the trip.
History galore in this part of the south, |

Stand at the crossroads and look...
ask where the good way is,
and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.

Prayer a bit ago with husband and ...my travel tip: you are never alone WITH Jesus! We sure are grateful to know Him and He makes everything richer :) :)
You are so right, Sydney. When we travel with Jesus, life is one big adventure, whether abroad or in our own neighborhood.
