Jazz Fest

Every year, we head downtown to the Jacksonville Jazz Festival. We've witnessed some impressive performers like Tony Bennett and Michael Buble. Admission is always free (perfect for our tiny budget), but the weather is usually iffy...we were lucky enough to have semi-clear skies this year! Here's Kate, anxious to hear some great music.
Mommy & the girls clowning around Jacksonville Public Library-it was closed that day, so we didn't have a chance to go inside.
Cool silver platter & cutlery art (it could be yours for a mere $400!!!)
Old church used as a venue for Jazz Fest
Love the detail on this clock (check out the lion heads at the bottom)

Low country shrimp boil...mmmmm!
Chris Botti onstage. He played for over two hours!Near the end of his act, We headed towards the stage to get better pictures, just as he walked into the crowd! We were basically right in front of him and got to hear an amazing solo just inches away...

Such a great performer!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day!
