“Marry Me”

Jacksonville, Florida October 13, 2023 – October 17, 2023

We stopped at the Margaritaville RV resort on Lake Lanier to check out a neighborhood as a possible location for when we get off the road. Margaritaville was mostly empty at this time in the season, but it was nice.

Then we travelled on down to Jacksonville to spend a few days to see friends and attend Tyrone’s wedding. The weekend was jammed with activities and friends.

On Friday night we had dinner with my friend Rene (we were co-workers when I worked for a law firm in Jacksonville – eons ago). It was great to see her and her son Keith who has grown up and is very handsome.

Saturday, we had lunch at Hawkers (our favorite restaurant in Jacksonville) and then went out to stay at the Verheul’s (Rick and Denise). They invited us to stay because they live near all the wedding festivities. Saturday night was Tyrone’s 60th birthday party at a local sports bar. The party was super fun. Later, apparently there was a dance off at the Verheul’s (which I missed – thank God!)

On Sunday we went to a beautiful wedding of Tyrone and Belinda at the Ponte Vedra Beach Club. After the nuptials, the newlyweds had a champaign toast overlooking the beach and then a brunch complete with a delicious buffet and an outstanding band.

We had a great time seeing Tyrone get married and seeing friends. Next year we plan to return to Jacksonville for the Florida/Georgia game and the largest outdoor cocktail party!
