Jax = spring break for Minnesotans!

Earlier this year Kristi Jean the school teacher got to escape Minnesota while her students were escaping the classroom for spring break. We had a great time bumming around Jax while she was here for nearly a week in late March/early April! Fortunately there were enough nice weather days to do a lot of the things we had planned outdoors as well as indoors... We made it to the beach, pool, baseball game, an afternoon at the Landing and Main Library, a Dueling Pianos performance, and some fun dinners.

Cheering on the FSU/UF players at Jax Baseball grounds (and probably still a little elated from inhaling huge ball park franks with all the fixings. ;-)
Go Seminoles! Er, go Gators! I guess we wanted both teams to have a good game. Unfortunately a winner was never determined, because a huge storm hit at the bottom of the sixth inning, the game was cancelled and the park vacated.
Posing in front of the big blue bridge downtown.
An afternoon at the Jacksonville Landing...

...where we found some very cultured establishments!
Drinks and bruschetta at The American Cafe! Notice our opposing team shirts? We had a little fun with letting people think we were bitter sports rivals (when in reality we'd run out to Wal-Mart the night before and raided the clearance racks. ;-)

We had an indulgent four-course dinner at The Melting Pot... seriously, food has never been such an event. Uffdah.
