Funnest Wednesday Night in Jacksonville, Ever (28. Dec.'16)

With the surprise arrival of my step-brother and his family, his mother and I decided it was a good idea to show them the Riverwalk. This time, however, we decided to go at night.

Christmas in Jacksonville

Hello, I thought I'd share some pictures I took while in Jacksonville on Christmas day.

My family lives here, and I have barely explored it. At all.

I've barely touched my camera since I returned to the States. At all.

The two previous situations described need to be changed. So I decided to take my step-mom along to explore Jacksonville's Riverwalk.

East side of the Riverwalk, along the St. John River.

From the East side, facing west.

Wanna go on the river taxi?

Florida's "evergreen."

Like sails, but over benches.
