RAM is under the Fuller Warren Bridge which is I-95. It’s so nice to see Jacksonville being spotlighted. It doesn’t get enough credit for all of its wonderful sites. Thank you

[@lindaw5766]

Love Katie and you together! She is the best Ambassador to fun and frolic!

[@ScreenJem]

Katie’s smile just lights up the room! She is so adorable!

[@pgreg9878]

I am so happy for you Jeffrey. You look so happy and relaxed since you got your RV. Love your videos with Katie, a good friendship.

[@Beth-wv6tt]

When it's once again time for you to settle into a permanent home, I hope you, Katie & (hopefully) Mark too will open up a B&B with a coffee shop/small cafe. I think between the three of you, anything you create would be spectacular given your combined love for beautiful environments, gorgeous but functional vintage & antique items, appreciation for great food, and excellent eye & ear for wonderful entertainment!

[@cindystone252]

Are you still in Florida?

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

@@cindystone252probably not cause . I know the date cause I had my booth the same day of the festival he was at but I was at the Jax beach one.

[@jeanettenance1366]

My Mom use to work for Bosca leather here in Springfield Ohio. It has closed for business now. She sewed the little pockets in the wallets and was a gold stamper. She stamped the gold business logo in items 😊

[@debispilker4392]

Love seeing you and Katie together! You’re so fun! Thanks for the videos!

[@MichelleVierthaler]

Enjoy watching your videos! Katie is precious such a nice friend.

[@Korenscollections]

I was just thinking, you should get a bicycle or a powered scooter to go around and just park your RV. You can get a rack to put it on when you’re driving somewhere.

[@kimkirksey562]

Great idea

[@jeffreythomason]

I do like this idea also!

[@janewasson4845]

Like a Vespa, with a basket on back for your finds!

[@lindaalbano6868]

Jeffrey you are having a life crisis. Every since you lost your beautiful dog.​@jeffreythomason

[@purpleshoespurp3462]

@@lindaalbano6868rude much? He’s living his best life and who are you to say such a thing? Only a licensed professional should ever say any thing like that and only when they are asked for their opinion. Try keeping your unsolicited thoughts to yourself. Rude.

[@theresavalentino7556]

My fav Antiques and Jewery shop is in St. Augustine the lightener museum. Churchill & LaCroix! I miss living in St. Augustine sometimes. But I love how quiet it is where I live now in Lake City on 14 acres Rural. I have to take my garbage to the dump myself! They don’t pick up on a dirt road. What a change for me 7 years here now. 40 plus in Tampa.

[@pamelacrews590]

The best chocolate in jax is Sweet Pete's downtown Jax. On Hogan Street,it's in a big house built years ago. Look it up.

[@annmariemarin5513]

Jacksonville is beautiful!

[@someoneusa]

San Marco is an old neighborhood on the river. That and Riverside are very pretty. Most of Jax is bland unfortunately.

[@maryrinks8383]

Jeffery nice to see you. Glad your enjoying your self. Hi katie. ❤🎉

[@margaretatter4743]

I'm so happy your enjoying Jacksonville. I moved here 40 years ago and I just love it. Have a great time here.

[@margaretatter4743]

Welcome to Jacksonville. You looked like you had fun. Its nice to see you here.

[@lynnmcnamara5380]

I really enjoyed visiting Florida with you and Katie. You two should travel together around the USA since you get along so well. Thanks for the adventure.

[@Wildmushroomss]

Katie has such a sweet smile. I love her vibe. ❤

[@jeanword6985]

Those brownies looked so yummy .I would like a lounge chair in that fountain .

[@dixielynnmusic6652]

It was cool to see someone explore my city. Jacksonville fl resident. Just came across ur channel today

[@kathyweddle4874]

Do a shot every time Jeffrey says “stunning” 😂

[@sylvanramble1757]

So much fun to see you two together! I think those winged ants were actually a swarm of termites or carpenter ants. They both like old wood. I love the food and ambiance of the Cafe Alcazar. Too bad the live piano player wasn't there when you went. Jeffrey, I can always count on you to consume coffee, chocolate, spaghetti, gellato, and sweet treats. Katie, I loved the brooch you were wearing but it was covered by your shoulder bag most of the time. You have such pretty brooches, please wear them on your left side so we can enjoy more of them. I am looking forward to your next adventure!

[@cherylross2718]

Nice too see you having a great time with Katie, and sharing some spectacular places with us. My mom gifted me a Cross gold plated pen engraved with my name in the 80’s. One of the best gifts I’ve received.

[@Kipper32020]

Beautiful & interesting videos....Jeff & Katie always find the BEST restaurants too!! 🤗🤗

[@calgram]

You guys are so fun together. This was a neat day of touring. Thanks for sharing.

[@Miss59Pat]

Nice video. I enjoyed every where you took us!

[@zuzuspetals8323]

The hummingbird flipbook was fab. Hope you’re doing well, Jeffrey. Keep smiling. 😊

[@zuzuspetals8323]

p.s. Glad you have a copilot! I used to love the Cap’n Bob drawing show When I was a wee lass.

[@MarisaDeMacedo-me3ym]

I love it when you have adventures with Katie❣️

[@delmorrow896]

You’re in my stomping grounds! - just a couple of miles from where I live. The Cummer Museum and Gardens is always a favorite. I loathe sea gulls - they make SUCH a mess. One Ocean is a nice hotel - it’s been there, in one iteration or another, for decades (used to be called The Sea Turtle Hotel). Cross pen and pencil sets used to be popular graduation gifts. Rather than ol’ Starbucks, I wish you had patronized Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop in San Marco - a new venture operated by developmentally challenged young adults. You were shopping in touristy places in St. Augustine, but Peterbrooke Chocolatier in Jacksonville is a locally owned family business with the emphasis on quality. St. Augustine is close to my heart - we were married there … 30 years ago. The man on the bridge was probably the bridge tender who opens and closes the bridge as needed.

[@jenniferthompson6280]

i live in riverside and i agree😊

[@tracyzoon5805]

The Imagine museum in the St Pete Tampa area has some beautiful stunning art glass also.

[@debbiegutierrez9147]

Hey Jeffrey thanks for sharing your adventures, enjoy seeing all the amazing places & you & Katie together having fun & all the food! I ♥️ dark chocolate 🍫 too!! ♥️🫂🫶🏼🥰

[@judithsmall5924]

You did a great job parking. Love your videos.

[@jennbeth1]

Katie loves her hats, doesn't she?

[@nelliehagen5267]

As much as Jeffrey loves his dark chocolate 🍫

[@susanstorm8052]

The food looked delicious 😋. I'm glad you're having fun 😁.

[@PamelitaSi]

This was such a lovely video, Jeffrey and having Katie with you was a bonus. Thank you!

[@MarciMarsea]

Katie, I love your style!

[@IamSnowbird]

I've been to St Augustine twice. A great place to spend a couple of days.

[@lindapunky656]

Fun video, thanks for sharing . Hi Katie 🤗

[@evidentress1]

4:11 The art of Kintsugi is filling cracks with gold. In the Japanese culture (& maybe others) it is about resilience and not just “getting over” something hurtful that happened, but embracing the process of healing spiritual and emotional wounds. We carry these scars but it’s how you look at them that can really affect your life. ❤

[@sawdust2556]

Beautiful beach and great dining, shopping, and investigating great locations with Katie!🌴

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

Oh Jeffery I giggled when you're talking about parking your van! I drove a big truck and trailer for a while and I can relate! You did great and you will just keep getting better

[@marybeute2838]

You need to come to Grand Rapids Michigan to the Meijer Sculpture and botanical gardens if you liked the lions statue you need to come to see our 3 story horse... and the Ford presidential museum you can see the actual copy of the president's office 30 miles away is Lake Michigan one of the Great Lakes. Then take the ferry across to Wisconsin..and then go visit Mark in Minnesota!

[@joanb8489]

Great video. Glad you’re having fun.

[@theresahiggins6643]

Katie is delightful.

[@dlittle7983]

Lots of beautiful and interesting places. It's always fun with Katie and you. To me the bugs at the end looked like flying ants. 🤔 Thanks for talking us along. ❣️

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

Enjoyed your video. I live just west of Jacksonville so I’ve been to all of the places. Fun.

[@bethb7965]

What an enjoyable video!! You and Katie always have a great time together. Love your food reviews!!

[@marlenefolta6912]

You and Katie are a great team Jeffrey. Was excited to see a travel video from you. Katie seems to know all the great places. By the way Katie, love your hat. Take care, touch base with us once in awhile.

[@jo72257]

Thank you for taking me back to my happy place, San Mateo, Jackson Ville, Saint Augustine, My grandparents lived on Perry place in San Mateo/ like Katie we lived 10 min from Jacksonville beach like a paradise 50 years ago. I remember the lion statues and the oldest tree. Today is my Birthday. Thank you Jeffrey and Katie for taking me Home! if just for a bit. If it's not too hot the Spanish fort is something to see. I took pictures in the 80s of the Spanish Fort in Saint Augustine, One of the rooms where they kept the prisoners lots of orbs.😘

[@sharonbogan0513]

Yes! I’ve gotten lots of Orb photos in the prisoners rooms!

[@ketipap686]

Thank you for taking me to the beach and all these wonderful places with you. That hotel decorations were something else!

[@yungnsurly]

You are an excellent driver!! Bravo for parking RV like a Boss!

[@carolynwhitney5268]

My dream is to go try all these restaurants! Everything looked delicious! I love that you and Katie are foodies! Nice hat, Katie!

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Iv enjoyed coming around with you guys 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@bethjensen8946]

Was so happy to go along with you, where I didn't have to walk myself, as I have health problems 😊

I have a gold Cross pen that I have carried in my handbag for over 45 years. My absolute favorite pen.

I love Kate and your adventures...very fun...upscale...adventurous. .I love it

[@chinajadeelee]

Love you and Katie exploring places .. Katie is such a wonderful person and she really brings out the best in you and makes me smile so much .. I really hope you dont get lonely when you go on the road alone to places its always fun to laugh with someone along side you.

Every time you hear the word, "stunning" you have to take a drink!

Taro is my favorite bobble tea. Good choice❣️🐿

Jeffery you are so great to listen to and visiting so many fantastic places. Ilive in Australia so enjoying your videos so much thank you.

[@annj3]

Love these adventures! I broke my right foot so I’m enjoying getting out with you!

[@missannetteslittlefarminth9069]

So much fun with you two

[@klamendola]

The bugs are flying termites. They come in once a year. They are highly attracted to the lights, and they only last about a day or two before they die off.

[@dianajemison105]

I want that French sewer grate!

[@greenoctopusbudgets]

Hello from Jacksonville! Glad you got to see the Riverside Arts Market (RAM) & the Cummer Art Gallery. I hope you got to the see back of the Cummer Art Gallery where the gardens go all the way to the St. Johns River. It's Beautiful back there! Anywhooo...enjoyed your video! :)

[@jeffreythomason]

I don't think I saw that it was very hot, so walking around outside isn't at the top of my list. I'll have to go back another time in the fall or spring.

[@someoneusa]

​@@jeffreythomasonfall and pre-Spring - early spring is the only time I like being outdoors here. This Spring was insanely hot. V Pizza is yummy.

[@debbied3116]

You and Katie had some awesome sightseeing today! Thanks for takiing us along.

[@kathyhodges7054]

Jeffrey enjoy your videos so very much! I love to see you travel specially with friends like Katie.😊 Where we live in the Philadelphian suburbs and at the Jersey shore recall those little flies sand fleas. Be safe and happy travels.🚐

[@nikimaas3294]

So great to see a video, Jeffrey! You and Katie have so much fun together! Enjoy!

[@kathylovejoy2569]

Love watching you and Katie, experimenting on all the different foods and chocolates. Looks like you are both really enjoying yourself, So Happy to see that. You showed some very interesting places. Places I will never see except through vlogs like your's Thanks so much Katie and Jeffrey

[@Swifty-Rose]

It is so beautiful at Saint Augustine. We did that river cruise at Christmas time. The Christmas lights were absolutely stunning. Enjoy your adventure.

[@nancywhittington3535]

fun wish I was with you and Katie.

[@elizabethpayne53]

I’m happily single for 8 years post-divorce (20 years married) - I tried dating - uh, nope! I go out to eat and instantly they grab two menus (not all the time) I’m fine w it, but it seems awkward for the host/hostess! I’ve yet to be given two spoons! 😂

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

When you got your brownie in the museum, I wonder if the second spoon was for your coffee?

[@margaretatter4743]

You should have got the chocolate covered popcorn. It's to die for.

[@erinmaxwell8133]

So fun!! Thanks for the tour!

[@bluejayvintageretro]

Art!!! You did it!!! I was wondering when one of the resellers would go to a museum of art and marvel at the pieces...and you were the one!! Congrats from my art loving heart!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 One more thing..love love the quest for chocolate shops, you nailed it, Jeffrey!!!! Love Katie, she helps alleviate my "missing Barb" conundrum🥴😥

[@lorrieriddle4079]

I enjoyed the video, thank you!!

[@dgator3599]

Enjoyed sharing your travel adventures. I'm ashamed to say that I live 14 miles outside of Jacksonville and it's been years since I've ventured that way. The swimming pool restaurant I've never even heard of although I've been to St. Augustine many times. Have you visited there during the Nights of Lights during the holiday season? A beautiful sight. Jacksonville has some beautiful sights as well and they are never crowded. It's going to be wonderful once the old Riverwalk is replaced. Thanks for featuring the city. You were brave venturing out in our heat. Thanks again and I do love Peterbrooke chocolate. Their dark chocolate covered popcorn is awesome!

[@sharonbogan0513]

Great video! I lived in the Jax area for 17 years, now I live in central florida but I miss north Florida. I must have been to saint augustine 100 times but never ate at Cafe Alcazar. I’ll try it next time I go. Harry’s Seafood is another great place to eat. Loved seeing Katie!

[@Carmensandiego_]

Love this ❤❤ this is my neighborhood!!

[@leisahammonds4479]

Surely you can keep a case of water somewhere in the van.

[@stephenholmes5362]

Jeffrey, you are living your best life!! Making so many memories and seeing so much of our great country! Well done. The museum looks very interesting.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

16:33 I have one of those purple Lamy pens (but not for $ 47, mine was much cheaper in Germany)!!! I am glad you caught up with Katie after all, I was wondering where she was in the beginning.

[@dunhill1]

As a resident of Jacksonville, it was fun watching you react to all the places I've been to many times. Glad you had fun here. In St. Augustine, did you make it to the old Fort Castillo San De Marco or the Fountain of Youth? The Ghost Walking Tours are also fun yet creepy. So much to see and do.

[@trinasyoutube]

Very nice gallery. ❤

[@michelledekker7654]

OMG we have a condo on the Atlantic is Daytona Beach and St. Augustine is not far. I have to try Whetstone now. I LOVE dark chocolate. Were driving down from IL in 2 weeks so im going there. Thanks for the review

[@joannetwaddle4662]

My favourite shop stationery or book shops!!❤❤❤

[@VickieV1333]

Hi Katie! I’m so happy Jeffrey has you in his life! You are a wonderful friend! Jeffrey, I’m impressed with your backing up skills. When will your home be stocked and ready to roll? I live in Ocala and I’m shocked I haven’t been to Jacksonville in a 100 years! It’s changed! I have to make that trip! Rats with special skills, that describes them perfectly! Careful when there are a bunch of them, you’ll get pooped on! Something worse than a seagull pooping on your head is a pelican pooping on your head, this I know for a fact 🤭 Katie, love love the hat! Katie!! I live in Ocala, I’ll meet ya there!!
