March 26-28th, Jacksonville, FL

March 26 - 28

Jacksonville is the largest populated city in Florida and 11th in the United States.   Jacksonville stands astride, the largest north flowing river in the country...the 310 mile long St. Johns River.  We took advantage of the free city dock which was located in the heart of downtown Jacksonville Landing with tons of restaurants to choose from and a few shops.  We took advantage of the Tuesday downtown walking tour which was very informative.  There are seven bridges over the river in this town and we were parked by the Main St. bridge which was also known as the blue bridge. The blue lights were striking at night!

Walking tour took us into underground tunnels where we saw an old bank safe

Whistle blew to warn the cars that the  Blue Bridge is raising.
