I went to the PCA (Prevent Child Abuse America) Conference this last weekend in Jacksonville, FL. It was a great conference and I attended almost 10 different sessions covering various topics related to children.
Now I should probaby write all this stuff about the conference but instead this entire post is probably going to be about Jacksonville :) I didn't see too much of it but I saw a little!
These are all pictures of Jacksonville Landing. Jacksonville has a river running through the center of it and we stayed on the riverfront near this shopping/dining area. They play it up as amazing and spectacular...it wasn't quite that, BUT it was still a nice little place to eat at during the weekend and it had a little bit of shopping. Mostly I just liked that it was on the river and had a pretty view :)
One evening Melodye and I walked to the Jacksonville Art Musuem. On the way there I noticed Jacksonville had some great old buildings with a lot of detail. I tried to get pictures of some of it but pictures don't really do it justice.
This was a park across the street from the art museum. It reminded me of a park in San Fransisco in Chinatown where men sit and play board games all day because there were tons of men sitting in the park playing chess.
The museum...
And yes I snuck a picture inside :) There were actually a few things I really wanted to get pictures of but Melodye was yelling at me! :) There was a really interesting piece that was a painting made out of fingerprints. It was the coolest thing.
This isn't it but it's the one I was able to sneak a picture of ;)
After the art museum we went to the restaurant, Cafe Nola, in the museum and it was amazingly good!
Walking back from the museum we saw that Jacksonville has colored lights on some of the streets and it was the prettiest thing.
I also went running one morning along the riverfront and got some beautiful pictures.
At one point the path goes under a bridge and they've turned the area underneath into a small park.
