It's the most magical time of the year and I am ecstatic! The holidays have always been a special time for me. Probably because it's my mother's favorite holiday so she's always made it extremely special for us. I have so many wonderful memories of those eventful days growing up and while gifts are always wonderful my memories mostly consist of the things we did together. This is while when I became a mother I knew our focus would be on the time we spend together throughout this joyful time. For my family and I, local adventures equal ever last memories and tons of fun! Below I'll be sharing our list of events we will be attending, in these Duval streets. If you do not live in Jacksonville Florida, no worries just use these places as inspiration to find something similar in your city.
