Sail Jacksonville

The family headed out to Sail Jacksonville. Now for those of you that don’t know every year Jacksonville host Sail Jacksonville. Ships from all over including pirate ships dock on the river. There are Pirates walking around interacting with you officers of past i mean some of everything is walking around. It’s so cool to see what foods they ate doing this time how they prepared them things that they used in everyday life that’s so different from what we use now. The kids loved to see the pirates they took pictures with the people they acted the part. Jack Sparrow was even there and if you didn’t know any better you would think it was him. I mean his demeanor as well as the way he carried himself you really wanted to believe that was Jack. We missed the pirate fight. It was hot and a lot of people were out touring the ships. There were plenty of vendors of all sorts. The doggies even showed up. It was so hot that the  kids, adults and doggies alike were getting wet in the fountain, some even came in their swimsuits. I thought it was cool to be able to go down in the ships and really see the living quarters and get an ideal what it would be like on a ship for an extended period of time. It would suck because those damn ships were hot as hell. There was one ship that had ac on in one room, but the rest of those ships were just hot. I stopped getting on them and let the kids ride out with dad with the touring of the ships. They had a bounce house for the kids shaped like a pirate ship.There was this talented team (male & female) that was out the yard with their craft. I have some pictures of their work it was impressive. The kids were able to get up close and dig in the  sand and make sand castles as well free of charge. There were a few activities that you had to pay  There was only one jumping with business. They  had these glass bottles different shapes and sizes and you had to pay to put  colored sand inside. They were nice. I almost built one myself but quickly snapped back. I felt it was too much money. (10.00)  There was a balloon guy out there and of course he was a pirate. He also told pirate Jokes. Like what’s a pirate favorite letter? rrrrrr. I thought that was so funny! My husband was looking at me like i was stupid which made it even more hilarious! The kids were also allowed to go rock climbing and play with water boats remote control style. We had a fun time it was the heat that made us ready to leave. It takes a lot out of you. I must say that i am torn with which do i like more? pirates or vampires. There were some sexy pirates walking around RRRRR both male and female. I was thinking i would do a Pirate..There sexy attire and that look and confidence i love it. Esp when the pirate knows he looks good but not begin arrogant about it but having fun and enjoying folk. It’s hot.They were shooting off cannons and old guns it was cool and like i said the kids love it and Jacksonville has some serious pirate fans, i think i just became one. Here’s some of the pictures. Maybe next year i should explore my pirate side and put my best sexy pirate on. Oh, before i go let me tell you what happen. So like i keep saying the kids were all into it. We had been talking about this for days. Now we get there and the kids are seeing the pirates and there are kids dressed up as well that are a part of the venue. So my youngest 3 years old says look mommy at those pirates (speaking about the little kids he saw) this older person who was with this child comes up out of his mouth with they are not pirates they are people. I’m like no he didn’t. So i said my kids know they are people and weather or not they are pirates or not they have on costumes and the whole point of the event is really about using your imagination so for you to come out your mouth to a 3 year old about that is bullshit esp when you didn’t have the right intentions and tone. Now if you were on your job you would have educated my child in a positive way about what he really was seeing. So if you don’t have anything good to say shut the fuck up and let kids be kids. Don’t take it out on him because your fat ass is hot ass hell. I was pissed off. I hate when i loose my cool because i don’t often do so, but i thought he was wrong for the way he went about it. Maybe he was tired of hearing it i don’t know just be careful talking to mine. Outside of this person people were friendly. My youngest son had some ice cream and not looking where he was going ran into a guy taking pictures and got chocolate ice cream on the man white shorts in the crouch area, he thought that was funny as all day. It did look like something you would see on a tv show he took it all in good spirits. So here are the pictures i must say i had a ball taking pictures at this event. See photo gallery.
