Trenton's right outside the gates was where Katlyn sent us and it was awesome. My daughter took the Grandparents a couple weeks ago and they raved about it too. It's not the sort of place you drive by and say lets eat there bit believe me try it! You will love it. BTW save room for their key lime pie!

Thanks Kalynn for the discussion with all of your good stuff in it. I think we need to try that seafood place here pretty soon. Lots of stuff I never would of thought of. Again thanks.

TrumbullCTMom - I added a discussion of things I've recommended in the past in comments for other members but they've been lost in the thread.  Now it'll be right on top for you and other new users to see all in one spot.  Others can add theirs reviews and recommendations to the dicussion to help others too!  Enjoy your visit, hopefully the sucky Tropical Storm Weather will be gone when you arrive!

Also have you and your son stop at the MWR office as you can get discount tickets to a bunch of places. You can also do a search for things to do in Jacksonville. Here is a link to an events schedule. http://events.firstcoastnews.com/

TrumbullCTmom it should be nice this weekend for your visit. Make sure you visit St Augustine the oldest city. Taking one of the tram tours in nice and you can get off and one at any time. Plus you get to go back for the next 2 days for free. For bbq we live Mojo's bbq in Fleming Island. About 8 miles from base. Lot's of other good places just depends on what you are looking for.

Hi Everyone, I'm visiting my son this weekend (June 1) and bringing him his car. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do in Jacksonville for the weekend?  I would like to go kayaking or see some other sites.  Also, can anyone recommend a few good restaurants in the area?  Thanks.

1windhavenMaria my son works on the radar and sonar on the P3. He is an ATI2. He likes it here a lot. He is day shift supervisor in his shop and in charge of training for the command. Not the c school training but just the extra stuff they all have to keep up with to stay certified. He was stationed Whidbey Island washington before here.  My middle son is stationed in Yokosuka Japan. He is CTM. Not sure everything he does his is top secret.

welcome 1windhaven maria. My oldest son is at NAS Jax but he works on the P3. We also live just outside Jax in Middleburg. It is really nice here. Lots to do your son will love it. If he is a car guy there are several clubs here. Let me know and my son can get him hooked up with them.
