ZZ'sMom i just talked to my Son and he said yep your daughter needs to get out and see JAX. tell her don't be shy, and if she needs someone to talk to just look him up and he will intro her to a bunch of others. My Son is one of those people who can talk to anyone about any topic and make them feel welcome. Has she started her schooling yet?

Kalynn we like scenic and touristy. I need to engage her into the local culture. If she doesn't get a jump start she will never go anywhere but the base, grocery store and the mall!

Gabby- Congrats on your daughters soon to be wedding...how exciting!! There are endless possibilities in Jacksonville. If you're wanting something small and quaint on base theres a high observation point up near the marina that is very pretty, there's also a nice nature walk near the Navy Lodge that pretty and people hold receptions at the Officer's Club and The Zone has a reception hall. There's also the Chapel on base. Since is will be May the weather will be beautiful u might consider a wedding on the beach on NS Mayport, the Navy Lodge is right on the beach there so family could stay right there on location and theres a party hall right next to the Lodge where you can host a reception.
ZZ-hmmm...a day and a half in Jacksonville, FL so many possibilities! What do you and your daughter enjoy to do? Shopping, touristy stuff, senic stuff!? Oh and speaking of seafood - NAS JAX has a little hidden gem, directly across from the street from the base theres a little hole in the wall seafood restraunt that is AMAZING called J.L Trents...definite must go to!! Would recommend the gator tail and the platter for 2 grilled or blackened style(My Fav)!!!! =)
