Returning to an Epic 2025 Florida-Georgia Tailgate
This past November I embarked on my second annual tailgate for the popular Florida–Georgia football game in Jacksonville, Florida. While I’m a Florida State fan, when I come to this specific game, I root for Georgia, as Florida State and Florida are rivals. This year I didn’t go to the actual game, as tickets were pricier than last year when I went. But anyone who knows anything about Florida–Georgia knows it’s all about the tailgating before the game.

Dining at a Beloved Jacksonville Institute for the First Time
A month ago I finally had the opportunity to dine at bb’s Restaurant and Bar, a popular, relatively upscale restaurant near downtown Jacksonville that has consistently received both awards and praise from repeated customers. The restaurant, a standalone building in between downtown Jacksonville and San Marco, serves both lunch and dinner and boasts a massive wine list and house-made desserts that change seasonally.
Dinner at Mandola’s Italian Restaurant

A Sunset Wedding on the River, Maid of Honor Duties and More
In late June, my best friend of about 20 years got married, and I was the maid of honor. This was my second-ever wedding I’d been to and my first time in a bridal party. I didn’t realize how much time was spent getting ready and taking photos until that day, when we arrived at the venue around 10:30 a.m. with our dresses and shoes in hand.
