Suburban Extended Stay St Johns Bluff

Some Musts.

by CaffineFreak

I always favor a Large Rucksack with any traveling i do, as you will have to do a lot of changing of transport etc to get to where you going. Have found that large suitcases are just to awkward. Light weight, it awlays seems to be very hot here no matter what time of year im there. However it is alway worth taking a light poncho or rain proof jacket as showers are very frequent in the summer and autum months Sun Block Sun Block Sun Block, the sun is very powerfull and even in the early morning will burn if exposed for even the shortest period of time. ( yes thats through experince ) Lots of places to camp ( Hanna Park prob the best ) so a light tent would be worth packing, room permitting. However are very cheep from army surplus stores. Fishing Kit, if you love to fish take your gear, as you will never be more than a mile from some prime spots, both Fresh and salt water.

Outstanding Steaks!

by MatthewMetcalfe about Ruth's Chris Steak House (2 locations)

I visited the Ponte Vedra Beach Ruths Chris Steakhouse on a business trip and was thoroughly satisfied.

Steaks served on a sizzling plate and outstanding service make this a unique dining experience. The Filet is outstanding as are the grilled Asparagus. We also had shredded fried onions.

The Martini's are outstanding and have a variety of stuffed olives to choose from.

The Port Wine selected is better than average although not as good as one would expect from an establishment like this.

Great breakfast just blocks from the beach

by noidiotsplease about Beach Diner

This "beachy" eatery in Atlantic Beach is one of my favorite breakfast spots. Cozy and comfortable this relatively small diner is a popular locals' hangout. Open until 2 p.m., their menu includes a wide variety of breakfast combinations as well as sandwiches and salads. Inside, white walls with light yellow accents and soft watercolor artwork depicting various beach scenes exude an atmosphere of warmth, friendliness and relaxation.

JW Convention

by mliebster

"JW Convention"

Every year my wife and I go to Jacksonville for a Jehovah's Witnessess convention. He we are.

"Figures"

This year we had an average of about 7,300 people attending each day. Also, there were 71 people baptized on Saturday. He's a picture of floor during an intermission. The assembly has been held in the Jacksonville Arena, right next to the football stadium, for as long as I have been in Florida.

"Stage"

The stage was decorated very beautifully with many flowers and plants. Between the previous week's assembly and ours a wrestling event was held. So the entire stage was taken down and the flowers and carpeting of the stage was given away.

Here Bro. Rhyne and Sis. Button are preparing for a part.
