Adventure Landing Jacksonville Beach Shipwreck Island WaterPark

PuttSwimPlay-jacksonville

Having lived in Jacksonville for a little over a year now, we still haven’t seen all there is to see! The kids have been wanting to check out this cool place called Adventure Landing. It’s a big waterpark with go carts, mini golf and an arcade. I’ve been reluctant to go, but we were given passes to go visit the waterpark and try it out, so why not?

001

We were given four passes, but my husband was not able to come. They let me exchange a waterpark pass for 3 mini golf passes.! Yeah! So we played mini golf first.

003

They were working on their mini golf course, which I thought should have been done already in time for summer. But we still had a great time.

005

It was a hot day and the kids were ready to go get wet!

009

My daughter loved the pirate ship and the smaller slides. While my son was more daring and went on all the bigger slides. We also visited the wave pool. Savannah thought the waves were awesome!

After waiting for my son to come down the slide my camera shut off so I only got this picture at the end. He loved it!

015

We dried off and changed and played some games in the arcade. Overall we had a great time! The price for the waterpark is kind of high for me, $30 a person. If I were to pay, I would make sure to stay longer…But there are some coupons to be found below.

Color in Motion 5K

Saturday I did the Color in Motion 5K. I walked it with my cousin, Rachel. She couldn’t run, so I walked with her.  This is before we got colored up!

You can see the color being thrown onto the walkers/runners.

A Day Out w/Chevy!

I got to test drive a 2013 Chevy Camero!! More on that later…..

While I had my hot little car…I was invited to bring some friends along to the Southern Women’s Show in Jacksonville, FL and have lunch on Chevy!

 

Before we got started walking around the show, we got to test drive some very cool cars and trucks. Below my neighbor, Linda, chose the big truck!

 

 

The Southern Women’s Show was way cool! There were booths set up with vendors that were all about WOMEN! Above I was trying out an awesome vegetable peeler. I ended buying one of those and love it!!

 

Here, my cousin, Megan had a mini manicure.

Merrilee, had some mole removed, or they tried to remove with a dermabrasion thingy. I would love a home dermabrasion kit.

My favorite picture is of Merrilee doing the chicken dance…. LOL!

Then it was off to lunch at the River City Brewing Company. I tried Mesquite Fish Tacos. They were awesome!! I can’t wait to go back and get some more.

Then Jennifer took us over to the water and took some more photos of us.

 

 

We all had a great time and I want to thank Chevy for an awesome Girls Day Out!

 

 

Stay tuned for my Camero review!!

 

Show passes and lunch was provided for us. Opinions are my own.

The MOSH (Museum of Science and History) in Jacksonville

Being new to North Florida, we are loving finding new places to visit and explore. One such place is the Museum of Science and History(MOSH) in Jacksonville.

I’ve heard from several friends that this is a great place to take the kids. Some even have annual passes. I went on the website to check it out and found a few exhibits I definitely want to check out when we visit.

I love everything water, so the Water Worlds exhibit is on the list! The underwater world of the first coast in MOSH’s permanent aquarium exhibit. Multiple aquariums will represent the many fascinating water habitats and live aquatic animals found throughout Florida and beyond.

And who doesn’t like native animals. We are from South Florida, so I’m sure the animals are similar. Florida Naturalist’s Center houses all of MOSH’s resident live animals. Owls, snakes, turtles, tortoises, and alligators- just to name a few- are all native to Florida.

This one looks a little intimidating but fun! Enter The Body Within through MOSH’s larger than life mouth, stroll down the digestive tract, and exit out the rear! Learn all about our bodies and how they work with hands-on interactive fun. My girlfriend has to carry her son through here as he is frighten by the big mouth!

Also on my list the KidSpace, a big area to play and explore including a tree house! There is also a Planetarium, I’ve always wanted to visit one.

We are hoping to go this week to visit and explore. I have no doubt the kids and I will love it!

Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for children 3-12, BUT if you go on Fridays it’s only $5!!

Check out The MOSH on Facebook and Twitter too!

Look for more on The MOSH after we visit!

 

 

 

We will receive complimentary passes to visit. Opinions are my own
