My mom and I decided to go to Florida this year to catch some Tigers spring training games. First thing we did when we got down there was drive up to my uncle's in Jacksonville for a visit. We had a short but really nice visit and were really glad we made the trip to spend some time with them.

We got a quick tour of the Jacksonville area and took a minute at one of the beaches there. It was a bit windy and cool, even for us Michiganders, but there were a lot of people laying out, soaking up the sun.

It was a lot harder than I expected it would be to get close to players/coaches for signatures but we managed to get a few. We were able to get a lot of pictures though.
