Jacksonville, FL is one of those cities that is often ignored by those visiting the state of Florida. Perched in the Northeastern corner of the state, it’s easy to miss, or worse, blow it off as just another city to go speeding by. This is especially true when travelers have their sites set on the theme park Mecca that is Orlando, the decadence of Miami, or the tranquility of the Gulf Coast. Well I’m here to tell you that Jacksonville is definitely a city not to be missed. What makes it special is the fact that it has a little bit of something to offer every traveler making Jacksonville Florida’s “Jax of all trades”
Get Amped at Little Amps Coffee Roasters in Harrisburg, PA
Ambrosia thy name is coffee! Coffee is necessary for ramblin’ and we take our coffee very, very seriously. We even travel with many devices to brew our own and we always have a bag of beans in the car. That being said, we love nothing more than finding a great local coffee shop to savor the flavors of a perfect morning brew without us having to do the work. Little Amps in Harrisburg, PA saved us from having to brew our own and put the pep in our step with their caffeinated concoctions.
The Splendid Splendor Farms of Bush, LA
On our last visit to Louisiana we did something we never ever do…we ventured out of New Orleans! If you are anything like us, the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Louisiana is Bourbon Street. Well, we decided we needed to branch out and see what the rest of the state had to offer. We decided to Ramble On through Louisiana and our first stop was a little town called Bush. Our stay here was at a wonderful pet-friendly B&B called Splendor Farms.
Touring Ft. George Island with a Modern Segway Twist
When most people think of Florida images of art deco and scantily clad women run through their head. The truth though, is that this isn’t really representative of Florida at all. There’s a whole other part of Florida that’s still made up of pristine coastline and natural beauty. Fort George Island off the coast of Jacksonville is one of those places.
NOLA Loews Loves Pets – Pets Love Loews Too
New Orleans is one of those cities that sticks to my ribs like a good gumbo. We ramble through this city a few times a year and it never disappoints. On our last visit we stayed at the Loews Hotel in downtown NOLA. Why? Because Loews Loves Pets and everyone knows that we do too!
