Jacksonville...Oregon, not Florida

This past weekend we drove 7 hours down to see my high school friend get married.  The drive itself was ok, Riley was perfect, Ella not so much.  It's hard for a 1 yr old to be strapped down for that long!  Jacksonville is a historic town not too far from the California border, near Medford.  It's the cutest town, the main street was like out of the old western movies.  Our bed & breakfast was just a tiny block from everything. Everything in that town is within walking distance.  The morning of the wedding we walked down to a little park and let the kids play.  Then we had really yummy sweet potato fries and Chicago dogs at a cafe in town.  The day was sunny and warm!  The wedding ceremony was up on a little bluff overlooking the mountains.  The girls had a good time dancing and Riley was especially excited to see the princess (the bride) walk down the aisle.   If we had more time we would've taken the Oregon coast back up, guess we'll try that another time.

Looks like fun, minus the drive. I've never heard of Jacksonville. I think my kids would love it.

That does look like a very cute town. I think I am going to have to put that on the list of places to visit.
