A week after I finished my school work, we took a trip to Jacksonville, FL to visit my sister, aka Aunt Madeline. We had a wonderful time! We drove through the night and arrived at about 1 am. We worried Luke would get restless in the car so we planned our drive at night, knowing he would sleep most of the way...which he did! We took a trip to the zoo and Luke loved the animals and the train ride. Fun times. We also went to the beach. This beach experience was much better than our previous attempts. We took Luke to the beach in April and he wasn't walking and hated the sand. This time around, he was all over the place and loved digging in the sand. He also loved splashing in the water with dad! I think we will have many more beach trips in our future.
This last picture was taken on the river front near downtown Jacksonville. Apparently, there was a Star Wars Exhibit and we ran into these paratroopers. Needless to say, Luke was scared to death of them!
