Live From Jacksonville

Greetings from Amelia Island near Jacksonville, Florida. We arrived Sunday for the Brown Family reunion for a week of fun and sun. The weather is quite oppressive with highs and humidity in the 90's but bearable with frequent wading in the pool and cool beverages.

Yesterday was our first full day in Florida and we spent most of it in the pool and near the beach if we weren't indoors enjoying the comforts of A/C. Later in the evening, after the Ellen and her cousins Sam and Patrick went to bed, we headed out for dinner to downtown Jacksonville. We had some really great paella, enjoyed a beer with the lots of family at a local watering hole and headed home. On the way we saw two armadillos and including one sleeping along the road.
