Jacksonville, FL: Day 1

July 3rd:


It has been a long day! We left the house this morning a little after 8:00 and stopped at Chick-fil-A for breakfast. We left there around 9-ish and headed south.


Every time Kim (my best friend) and I go to her parents house, we always saw a sign on I-75 around the Georgia/Florida border advertising books -- no book over $3. We never stopped, but I convinced my dad to stop today. We were running ahead of schedule (the realty company wasn't meeting us at the condo until 4:00), and had some time to kill, so we stopped. I am glad I finally did. There are tons of books in a variety of genres. A lot of the books are overflow from local libraries. All books were $2.99 or less. I spent about $40 and walked out three bags full of books! I was excited -- my brother called me a nerd. :) So, if you're ever heading down to Florida, travelling I-75 South, and you love books, get off at exit 5. You won't be disappointed!


We got to the condo a little after 4:00. One of the ladies from the realty company met us here and showed us around. We were pleasantly surprised! I found this condo on HomeAway and got a really good deal for a one week stay. We were a little weary of what we were coming into, but everything turned out great! The condo is beautiful and is central to a variety of restaurants and shops -- just about anything you can think of.



We unloaded the car and put everything away. Then, we headed to dinner. Zach (brother) chose Ruby Tuesday. We then headed to Wal-Mart to buy some groceries. We returned to the condo, put everything away, and I finished a paper for my online class.



After I post some pictures, I will be heading to bed. I'm exhausted!! Good night!
