Jacksonville is just AWESOME right now!
Brad Pitt was at Starbucks yesterday and my coworker was at a bar last night and in walks Troy Aikmen, Jimmy Johnson, Joe Montana and a few other NFL celebreties. They sat down at the bar right next to him!!! Snoop Dogg, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Burt Reynolds and several other stars have been spotted getting gas and eating etc.

Today my boss is letting us leave at 10:30 so we can go eat lunch downtown and hang out with all the fun. I am bound and determined to see someone famous!!!

Oh and I almost forgot, a friend of mine got Jesse Palmer's (Gator football, and the bachelor) autograph! He was eating lunch at Moe's and my friend walked to his table and asked him for it!

Tonight I am going to the NFL Experience and then to just walk around downtown and drink and have a great time. They are also having a huge firework display and lots of entertainment.
Last nights firework display was the best we have ever had. The Patriot and Eagle fans have all been very impressed with Jax so far. I am so glad we are proving everyone all wrong and are hosting such a good time for everyone

Whew! Sorry guys I am just SOOOO excited

Wow, Tanya, you're going to have so much fun!
This is so fantastic, I know you're just so excited!
Hope you get lots of pictures, and maybe even some autographs! I can hardly wait to hear who you see!
Gee, I'm having a sudden craving for Starbuck's coffee!

Have fun, Tanya!

Oh I know. The blonde hair, blue eyes speak to me sometimes too, though. Especially in Meet Joe Black

No stars

I went to an area called San Marco. It's a really cool area of town with neat shops and restaurants. We ate at a place called Sushi Rock and walked around. We parked next to a limo and waited for 10 minutes for someone to get out. The only person inside was the driver!

Last night we went downtown where all the action is and went to the NFL Experience. That's an interactive park where you can do all sorts of football related activities. You can even make your own real football.
After that we went and walked along the riverwalk. There was so much going on. There were booths with all sorts of food and drinks and of course Patriots and Eagles stuff. We ended up stopping at a bar full of Eagles fans called The Eagles Nest. We hung out there waiting for the fireworks. The firework display was nothing short of spectacular. Of course the whole time they were going off everyone was singing "E- A- G- L- E- S...... GO EAGLES!" It was so much fun. I ended up having a little too much to drink there
Once we left there I really needed something to eat. We stopped at a sports bar and hung out for awhile and ate. That was fun but all of the restaurants have special menus for super bowl and everything was pricey. I paid $10.99 for 4 grouper fingers that looked like normal fish sticks and some fries
We went home after that. So all in all yesterday was a lot of fun, but I was a little disappointed I didn't get to see any stars. Maybe Monday I need to go hang out at the airport and see if I can get my eye on any

Glad you had so much fun, Tanya!
I know you must be sort of disappointed to not run into any stars, though. At least you're having a chance to enjoy all the fun, and the weekend's not over yet!
I can just see you out there at the airport Monday waiting to see someone arriving to get on their plane!

What an expensive sports bar, and that was just a small amount of food! Wow, so all the restaurants have hiked up there prices? Jacksonville is going to make a fortune this weekend!

Looks like you had some fun, I actually heard of the Eagles Nest.... they post on the Philadelphia Eagles Message Board and they also make road trips to other stadium. I remember a couple of years ago they came down to play the Miami Dolphins and they took over the Stadium, I was pissed, but they were rude.....everybody was complaining, I guess that's another reason why I don't like Philly fans.

Yikes the food was expensive, I'm glad you had fun.
