Spent the day in Jacksonville, enjoying the nice weather and some art!
Kingsley Plantation was on the way from Amelia Island to Jacksonville, so we stopped to check it out. Hard to believe that this was once owned by a very progressive free black, who owned slaves and gave them their freedom!
Then toured the Cummer Museum. Reminded me of the Isabella Gardner Museum (sensing a theme here?). The Gardens were fantastic, including this 100-year old (plus) oak:
Then headed into Avondale and nearby Roosevelt for some soft serve. Apparently Dreamette has been around since 1948. Great toppings (including my favorite, toasted coconut!):
Then dropped Steph at the airport and headed to Savannah, a mere 2 hour drive away.
Had a fantastic dinner at the Pink House, shrimp and grits! And a lovely walk through the many parks/squares that this city is famous for. Will explore more tomorrow, in the daylight!
