Trip To Ryan - Day 264

Today was an amazing day. I picked up our friend Christopher and headed to Jacksonville to rendezvous with Ryan as he began the next chapter of his life. My son, Ryan is starting a paid internship with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday. He drove down from Raleigh with a U-Haul filled with all his worldly possessions to an apartment he had never seen. I had to be his eyes on this one and was nervous with the choice. The location was great, but it was old...very old. We drove by and peeked in the windows...anxious to pick up the keys in the morning. Ryan seemed happy with the choice.

To celebrate we headed to Riverside on the other side of the St. Johns. We opted for O'Brothers, a quaint Irish pub in the Five Points area. This was a great choice. I had a Corned Beef and Cabbage Panini with blue cheese slaw. Mmmmmmm, it was divine. After dinner the three of us headed back to our hotel overlooking the river. Chris and I walked along the riverside in search of Starbucks, took cool photos along the way and arrived about 15 minutes past closing time. Oh well, it was beautiful walk anyway.

Many hugs,

Kathy
