I’ve spent the past week in Jacksonville, FL. At first glance, that seems like a nice vacation. But, alas, it not vacation; it is work. Amy was really wanting to go to this trip but I found out kinda last minute and there was no way we could afford the price of that plane ticket. I really wanted both of them (Iliana and Amy) to go, but turns out, it’s good that they didn’t. You see, they wanted to go to the beach, which is only a few miles away from here. So, Amy was really jealous that I was going to be this close to the beach without her. I told her that it was no need to worry because I was going to be working all the time. Anyway, it has rained all week, so even if I had time and wanted to, I couldn’t go to the beach. And now, as we wrap up and are waiting to go to the airport, I’m looking out the window to a beautiful sunny day. Typical.<\/p>\n

So, hopefully the flight back will go just fine. We fly out from Jacksonville to Atlanta and then to Little Rock.<\/p>\n

Okay, so, here come the food reviews for Dustin. Lunch was provided each day at the office, so, once again, nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n

Monday Night<\/h5>\n

Sticky Fingers<\/a> – Great barbecue. I had a Half Slab & Half Pulled Pork. One word: Delicious. I’d have to give that meal a 8 out of 10 rating. The ribs were so tender that I could just pull the bones out of the meat. I topped them off with a Carolina Sweet Barbecue Sauce. A-MAZ-ING! I also tried a new beer called Yuengling. Really nice smooth beer.<\/p>\n

Tuesday Night<\/h5>\n

Sneakers<\/a> – This restaurant was right next to our hotel. Actually, it was the restaurant that provided room service for the hotel. I got a Smothered Burger (at least that’s what I think it was called) and Onion Rings. It was delicious. Or as Backpack on Dora the Explorer says, “Delicioso!” This night I tried out the Sam Adams Seasonal Summer Ale. Good smooth beer.<\/p>\n

Wednesday Night<\/h5>\n

Sneakers<\/a> – Went back to Sneakers and got the Western Burger with Onion Rings. Once again, a great burger. I went back to the Yuengling beer this night. Great place to go and watch the Olympics. Since it was a sports bar, there were TVs and projection screens everywhere.<\/p>\n

Thursday Night<\/h5>\n

River City Brewing Company<\/a> – On this night, we had our company outing to celebrate the end of our 3 week Discovery Workshop. This restaurant was awesome! They really took care of us. They brought out a great appetizer tray that was full of broiled shrimp, coconut shrimp, crap cakes, breads, and some chicken. They had a their own brewery there (obviously) and I tried the Jack Light. It was really good. As you can tell, I’m more of a light beer kind of person. It sounds like I drink a lot, but the only reason I drank any was because I didn’t have to drive anywhere and it was an interesting beer. I usually only drink twice a year. Anyway, I ordered a House Salad to start with followed by the Prime Rib. Both were great. I finished it up with a scrumptious Bread Pudding. I was in pain by the end of the night.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s Friday and I can’t wait to get back home. So, I’m about to pack it up and head out. See ya later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
