Sunday, July 29th, we left the house at 5:00 a.m. to head to Jacksonville, FL to board the Carnival Fascination for five nights, six days. First, Mommy had the dreaded drop-off of little man at Grammy and Poppy's. While I knew he would be well taken care of by Grammy, Poppy, Mamaw and Papaw, I knew we'd miss him terribly. After dropping Mason off, we hit the road for an 11 1/2 hour journey to Jacksonville. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express just a few miles from Jaxport. We arrived around 5:00 p.m. EST in Jacksonville, had dinner, spent the night and woke the next morning to be shuttled to Jaxport where the fun would begin. It was a rainy start on Monday, July 30th to our vacation, but overall the weather was perfect, the food was good, the stops were beautiful and the girls had a blast. Here are a few pics that capture some our favorite moments.
