I live in Jacksonville Florida. I really never explore my city. I might head down to that restaurant by the River walk and grab the 10 beers shots. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Jacksonville!
Hi Cristina! We LOVED that brewery! All of the 10 beers we tried were delicious. Glad we inspired you to check it out! The River Walk is beautiful. We definitely want to come back when we have even more time to explore! ☺️ Thanks for watch! -Katelyn
I live in Jacksonville, FL. I love how their are so many different types of food. Like actual mom & pop shop, with different cultures. It is also the biggest city for population to square mile city in the continental United States.
Chloe, we had a great time! Hopefully we will be back soon to explore more. Any must-visit spots you would recommend for next time? Thanks so much for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
Glad you were able to visit the Riverwalk in Jacksonville. River City Brewing Company is being replaced by apartments in the next two years which will be sad day for a location that has been there for 20+ years. I can't understand why the city wants to ruin the waterfront that people can enjoy with more apartments. The Chart House on the River Walk also has a very good happy hour. They have Bang Bang Shrimp and Prime Rib Sliders on their menu. Also, there is a Bar/Dog Park(indoors/outdoors) located in Riverside area of Jax called Kanine Social if you make your way back through Jax. They have beers from around florida on tap as well as wine. Safe Travels.
Hey Robbie! Oh no, that's so sad to hear. :( It really is a great area, we loved sitting at the brewery and having that great view. Thanks for the recommendations, we'll have to add those to our list. Kanine Social sounds amazing!! The pups would love that! -Katelyn
This is how a beautiful city begins to ruin, accepting this type of investment, which gives a profit to a few pockets, harming all the rest of the taxpayers. Signatures of Jax residents should be collected, to not allow this destruction.
I live in Jacksonville and you need to come back there’s so much more to see. Our jazz festival is awesome!!! Maybe next time. Glad you had a great visit!!!
Thanks, Sheri! Not trying to spoil the surprise, but look for another episode from Jacksonville soon! We might have just visited again. 😉 We'll keep an eye out for the jazz festival, too! 👍 -Howard
2 Buc-ee's currently under construction in FL on I-95, one just south of Jacksonville and the other in Daytona Beach. Also seen advertisements for new Buc-ee's on I-75 in GA.
Angies Subs! I’m so glad y’all were able to come through to Jax Bch going through Jax. I’m a Jacksonville beach native and still reside in Jacksonville. Angies is a hometown favorite for sure!
We loved our visit to Jacksonville beach, and the team at Angie's was great. You certainly don't have to be from the area to love their food! Thanks so much for watching. 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads you are absolutely right! If y’all ever come back through, please let me know! I would love to recommend some other local favorites for y’all to enjoy. I’ve never been to a Buc-ees and it’s now on my list of musts ;) Safe travels and many blessings to come. 🥰
Welcome to Jacksonville! There’s so much to do here, sooooo many awesome places to eat, and so much beauty! Amelia island, Daytona, St. Auggie, you really can’t go wrong most places around town
A year ago, I spent more than two weeks in the hospital, and the drs ordered that I quit all alcohol for a year. I've never been a big drinker, but I've been getting thru it by following channels like yours. Keep those breweries, wineries, and distilleries coming! 😃 🍺
We loved it! Hoping for a return visit soon, we only had one day to really explore and we know there's so much more to see. Thanks for watching!! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads yes welcome indeed✌... And yes only having one day here to explore the city is soooo not enough time to see the sites. You would have to get to know the boroughs of the city so to speak, after all Jacksonville Florida is the largest city in the country... Hope you can come back to spend more time to "try" and see all the of the city..❤✌

Nice!! I recognized my neighborhood. You were in Historic Springfield Klutho Park. The Band Stand is what gave it away. Hope you enjoyed it. And the bridge going up happens frequently
Good eye, Dean! It was a great neighborhood to stay in, with parks (and a nice dog park, too) and downtown nearby. That bridge went up several times just while we were at the brewery! Thanks for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
Wow, thanks, Matt! Really appreciate the kind words, and so glad you're along for the journey. Got a long way to 1 million, but we're definitely motivated! 👍 -Howard
Renee, you are correct......bunch of "Groms" in Jax Bch......at Mickler's it's easy to find shark teeth by just walking slowly alone the recent high water line, look for little black triangles you will find them at Mickler's when you bend over to pick them up you'll see that it's a shark tooth....if you're lucky and patient.
Christopher, glad to hear you don't have to dig and sift like we did to find sharks teeth! That sounds way easier! Thanks for sharing your technique, hopefully we'll be back soon to try it out. 👍 -Howard
A "grom" is a unit of measure. About 29 "groms" is equal to one ounce. Angie's has another location near the Mexican border called "Kilo-Groms". Check it out!
Grom is a surf/skate culture word or a small Honda motorbike. Fernandina Beach has a great masonry fort and lots of sharks teeth. I have thousands. You search as the wave goes out. Fernandina has dredging for the submarine base so there’s always fresh sand on the beach from the renourishment projects. It’s the coolest beach in Florida. Fort Clinch is spectacular. What are your camera rigs?
Jerry, the one we visited in AL looked brand new, do you mean that one? There are also several more about to open in FL! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
The next time you're in Jacksonville you'll have to make sure you're here on a Wednesday to see an AEW Dynamite show. It's a wrestling company that films their TNT show at Dailys place ever since the pandemic began. Great fun and an up and coming piece of local culture.
Thanks, Thomas, love getting these kinds of recommendations! Confession: we haven't watched a wrestling match in a LONG time. 😂 Just did some reading on AEW, and actually sounds pretty unique! I'll add it to the list for our next visit. Thanks again for the tip for watching! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
Thanks, Amanda! We loved exploring the beaches of Jacksonville. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our Part 2 Jacksonville episode that includes an interview with the owner of Angie's Grom! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard th-cam.com/video/InpoAoHVRH0/w-d-xo.html
I've lived in Jax my whole life. Plenty of food to choose from. As for beaches, I rarely go to jax beach. Way to crowded with tourists. If you guys make it to the area again. You should go to Little Talbot Island beach off of Heckshire Drive. A whole lot less people and a beautiful beach to scour for shells. When you leave you can hit up The Sand Dollar restaurant. Great food and live music on occasion.
Chris, thanks so much for the recommendations! We're hoping to be back very soon, will definitely keep your advice in mind. Thanks for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
We have never been to Buc-ee's but we can't wait to run into one while on our travels! We will be Jacksonville next month so this video was very great timing!!
I live in Jax and one of my fondest memories was having my 16th birthday party at Michlers Beach. That was in 1977 and back then, that part of south Ponte Vedra was just a two lane road in the middle of nowhere; a jungle with no homes or development of any kind. It was a secret magical place that I truly miss.
Oh wow! That's awesome, such a great memory. The area sure has changed a bit! But the beach is still very beautiful. We loved walking and hunting for sharks teeth there. Thanks for watching, Apryl! -Katelyn
Great video as usual!!! As for Bucee’s, I live in Texas only about 9 miles from one! It. Ever gets old- I even did some Christmas shopping there😂 But Howard underestimated the number of pumps. The new locations have more than 100 pumps!! In fact, one reason we go often is because they have DEF pumps for our diesel truck. I have to add, every time I watch your videos, l’m ready to do a food and drink tour!🍻🌮
Julie, wow! I just looked up and saw that one of the newer Bucees has 120 pumps, which is unbelievable! Our first experience was one outside of Houston, but they're now about to open their first two locations here in FL. Thanks as always for watching! 👍 -Howard
Chris, that sounds great! Is the arts market running during COVID restrictions? Hopefully we can return soon and check it out! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
We have never been to Buc-ee's before but have heard so much about them! We wonder if we will be as excited as Katelyn was when we see one! LOL! Angie's Grom looks amazing! We will have to add that to our list of places to visit! The river walk looks like a lot of fun! We can't wait to visit Jacksonville Beach! We love the beach! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Shion and Matthew, thanks so much for watching! Our first time was in Texas after a couple audibly gasped that we had never heard of them. We were sent in with recommendations of things to try, and the rest, as they say, is history. 😂 It is definitely worth a stop and to try all the delicious food! 👍 -Howard
Willamette River in Oregon and the Monongahela River WV/PA also flow nearly due North for their entirety. The Mojave and Genesee Rivers flow North. Deschutes, Bighorn, Eel and Fox Rivers flow North.
Kurt, thanks for watching, and that's a great piece of trivia! I just remember taking a photo of it thinking, "that's a beautiful piece of public art" but not making the connection of the actual flow of the St Johns river. Appreciate the info! 👍 -Howard
I could comment on so many gorgeous bits: I'll limit myself to the bridge episode @9:19. Happens here in the Netherlands a lot. Some bridges won't open during peak hour traffic but be prepared, you'll experience this regularly if traveling here. In fact we look down a river and can see the bridge right in front of us. A moment of entertainment for us, but irritation for travelers. Love my Monday mornings traveling with you guys. See you next week. 👍 🎥 🌷 🙋♀️
Yes! We're so glad we asked because we had no idea what that word meant before, the best thing about travel is learning! ☺️ What a great area to live! We miiiight be back for another visit this week!🤞🤫 Thanks for watching Kevin! -Katelyn
A real nice pet friendly beach access and huge clean campground under oaks and pines, large sites, lots of Floridian shrubbery for site privacy, full hkups, mini campground store with ice cream counter, beachside restrooms and shower/rinse off stations, bike paths, playgrounds, etc that you should consider checking out - Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Campground. Reasonable camp fees, tent and rv sites with fire pit and picnic table, covered laundry facilities, bathhouses with showers, etc. It’s over near the Naval Base but on private land. Can watch the huge cargo and cruise ships enter from the ocean into the St John’s River. A favorite camping area of mine. 🚌 🐬🏕 🦐
New sub. Was attracted because I'm planning to move to Jacksonville soon to be close to family. Thanks for showing cool places to visit. Grom looks like a neat place for sure. I envy your ability to go Nomad and in a nice looking RV. Happy Trails!
Hi Gilbert! So glad you found us, thanks for subscribing! Jacksonville will be a great area to live, we had a wonderful time. So much to see and do, plus the beaches are gorgeous. Definitely add Angie's Grom to your list.. it's amazing! -Katelyn
This place is an absolute ghetto. I can say that because I have lived here for 46 years. My relatives must have been suffering from oxygen deprivation when they packed up from Maryland and decided to migrate here back in the 40s
I been living In Jacksonville for like year and half and I have never really explored it that much. Well for one I work to much and second I have no one to go with. But I like it here.
Hi Howard and Katelyn! I enjoyed this video. The beach looked nice and the food you were eating looked really good. Don’t know what Grom means. But I love fudge and Katelyns fudge looked good. I didn’t know that happy hour at Ruth’s Chris’s steak house. it was cheaper. That’s good to know. Thank you! Sorry about your Rv getting a scratch. Hope it’s ok and not a bad scratch. Looking forward to next video. See you next week.
I currently live in Jacksonville. If you ever get a chance check out St Augustine its the coolest place ever. Well if you havent already that is. Pizza time on St George St was voted 2nd best pizza in the whole country a few years back.
Hi Amber! We had a great time in Jacksonville. And yes! We totally agree about St. Augustine... we visited when we first started RVing in 2018. That was the first place we stopped! We just didn't have a vlog then. Haha. We'll have to go back and check out that pizza place... MMM! -Katelyn
Glad u had fun here. And yeah its called pizza time and its usually very busy with a line out the door. But they move fast and its totally worth the wait. The owner gets all the ingredients he can imported straight from Italy.
There are three food places in Jacksonville you must try when you can.... Gators BBQ, Singletons Sea Food Shack (mayport) and Clarks Fish Camp ..... need to try them!!!!!!
Originally being from Texas I was a little sad that they started making Bucees outside of TX in 2016 but was still fine because there was still a distance from me to the Bucees stores, you see, it was the sign that I was almost home. Now that they have one here in Jacksonville around the corner makes me even more sad ☹️ but I will refuse to go to one because it will no longer bring meaning to my 22 hour drive back home to Texas if I decide to start going here 😭
Seeing a bit of home right around the corner, I can see what you mean. The optimist in me says now you can enjoy your Bucees favorites without the special trip AND now when you drive home you can stop at Bucees along the way. Thanks for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
If you come back to Jacksonville y'all have to try sweet theory bakery! I'm not a vegan but they are a vegan bakery and I have never had a ad treat from them! Best treats ever!
Great Vid! I lived in Jax for seven years in the 90's. River City Brewing was there then and I visited it many times. Still have grown kids living in Jax. We have landed there several times since going full time.
We've spent every winter in FL for the past few years and never visited JAX until now! So glad we made the trip. River City was great, we liked every beer we tried! -Katelyn
As a Texan, i'm glad we have Buc-ee's. Best BBQ sandwiches and Beaver Nuggets on the road :) Also, have you folks ever used Harvest Hosts for RV stays?
Yes!! So delicious 🤤 we were so glad we discovered the wonderful words of Buc-ees! We have a Harvest Hosts membership but have only used it once or twice since the stays are limited to one night. -Katelyn
A grom is a young surfer... this is the smaller version of the main sub shop just called "Angies" just a few minutes away, hence the name Angies Grom, because it is the smaller one.
The staff told us about the original location, Angie's Subs... we definitely want to go there next time we visit! Thanks for the explanation on Grom, makes sense given the theme too! :) -Katelyn
Take A1A over toward the ferry along the St John’s River. You’ll find a nice pull off area on the bend in the road that used to be a county park. I’ve slept in my rv there many a time, nestled back between the palm trees, along with watching the huge ships passing by entering the port. A great place to find 🦈 teeth. I’ve quite a few in amongst my small shell 🐚 collection. Folks swim and fish there as well. You will also find several riverside fresh seafood small neighborhood style restaurants there in the Mayport area just before the ferry dock. 🐟🦀🐡🦐
Oh my...that fudge looked good!!..haha..Scout sure can move fast up those stairs,I would be left far behind..lol.The food looks so delicious,I think I’m gaining weight watching this!! The beach is also my happy place,I could just stay there forever.Love drawbridges,the river walk had beautiful views.Beer...yes!! I love the dark ones,like Porter, Guinness.So funny how popular you become with munching ,my beagle is the same. So sorry about the scratches,thankful you got out without serious damage. So many items now,on my bucket-list.Thank you for this. See you soon. Stay safe. Big hugs to the puppies...🥰
The fudge is delicious! It didn't last very long 🤭😂 oh my goodness, the way Scout ran up those steps had me laughing so hard. She's such a little cutie! And thanks! The scratches were very minor 😊 ♥️♥️ -Katelyn
Hi Zianiee! We loved Jacksonville! We were actually there in December, our vlogs are usually a few weeks behind but we might be back soon! Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
We live at JB and my wife’s family has been here since the Spanish got here in the 1500’s. Grom and Angie’s are both beach favorites. Next time you come, stay at Hanna or Huguenot city campgrounds. Hanna is in the woods next to the beach and Huguenot is on the river at the inlet, both are awesome. Also get some Mayport deep fried shrimp, you won’t be disappointed.
Hey Norton! Thanks for the recommendations! Those campgrounds look great. And yes, we loooved Grom. Definitely have to check out their other location when we're back! -Katelyn
So glad you were able to come to Jax and enjoy our incredible city! If you return, some must-sees: Sweet Pete's: a giant candy mansion. Take the five dollar tour and learn all about the mansions history, Sweet Pete's, candy, and get a custom made, personalized chocolate bar! Riverside Arts Market: Incredible food and arts market under the I95 bridge on Saturdays only. Also connects to the Riverwalk on the north bank. Walk the trail on that side all the way to the park. There's a really cool bridge where people have put hundreds of commemorative and memorial locks to signify relationships. Treaty Oak: MASSIVE oak tree hundreds of years old with a park surrounding. Short stop but worth it. Absolutely beautiful. Ed Austin Dog park: massive dog park great for the pooches. Sliders: in Fernandina Beach. Best seafood. The scallops with smoked gouda grits are *chefs kiss* Right on the beach. Just up the road a bit is Peters Point beach. One of my fave beaches. Boneyard Beach: a natural driftwood beach where you can take amazing photos. Massive driftwood trees with exposed root structure. No swimming for safety reasons but it really is incredible. Kinglsey Plantation: historic plantation detailing history of Florida during Spanish occupation and transition to American occupation. Discusses slavery and a how slaves were treated, and how the Kinsley family, with one wife being a freed slave fared under each system, particularly the issues they faced once Florida transferred to America from Spain. Not technically Jax, but a must see is Historic St Augustine, oldest city in the U.S. Sights that I highly recommend: St. Augustine lighthouse Lightner museum Historic St. Augustine citywalk (great food spots. The Spanish Bakery and Cafe in historic district is DELICIOUS) Castillo de Dan Marco Fort Matanzas (closed due to covid but if it ever opens again, you get a free boatride to the fort and get to explore the structure including going up on the roof! I moved here from Missouri two years ago and I never want to leave. Glad you were able to see some of the wonderful sights!
Wow, Cora! Thank you SO much! You should be our tour guide! 😆 This is amazing. We are hoping to visit again soon since we only had a day to explore and this list will be so helpful. We've visited St. Augustine and love it! Such a beautiful and historic area. ☺️ Thanks so much for all these great recommendations and for watching our video! -Katelyn
Ruth's Chris happy hour is awesome. We go there on a regular basis to the one in Ponte Vedra Beach. It's a shame that while you were here you didn't get a chance to go up to the TPC clubhouse. It's such an impressive site. I've seen people walking on Ponte Vedra Beach with buckets of shark's teeth. I think I have found two in five years.
Hi Bill! We love a good Happy Hour! Oh wow, we'll have to add that to our list. We only had one day to visit, so it was a quick trip. We've gotten so many great recommendations though! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn
Can’t believe you guys were literally just down the road from our house when you visited Jax Beach. You need to try a couple of seafood places when you make it back to Jacksonville. 😊
Yes, Safe Harbor Seafood at the Intracoastal Waterway on Beach Blvd, and The Fish Company on Atlantic Blvd. near Pennman Rd. Safe Harbor is our favorite. Very casual waterfront dining.
It's OK, was bound to happen eventually, lol. The irony was it was in someone's driveway, not deep in a forest or somewhere else you might expect it to happen! Thanks for watching, and please share any recommendations for Jacksonville (we're already planning to be back soon). 👍 -Howard
We’ve stayed overnight at the Bucees in Alabama. Where y’all were. They have delicious coffee also. We usually buy couple bags . We live in south louisiana and visit pensacola Florida few times a year. We have a coachman beyond class b
Hi Ricky! Oh that's awesome, didn't know about their coffee. I love coffee, will have to give theirs a try! Pensacola is a great area to visit! What part of Louisiana are you in? We recently visited New Orleans (Howard has family there) and Abita Springs. Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
We just got back from Florida ourselves! We were in Clearwater. I should’ve thought to look for a shark’s tooth! Jacksonville is really nice. No idea what a “grom” is, but the food looked great! 👍👍👍
I’m a news photographer in Jacksonville. This just popped up on my recommended. Definitely earned a subscriber. Glad you enjoyed your trip here, hopefully the scratches weren’t too bad!!
Hi Riley!! I'm a former news reporter! ☺️👏 Jacksonville is great, we definitely want to come back because we only had one full day to explore! Thanks so much, they aren't too bad at all ☺️ so glad you found us and our channel, thanks for subscribing! -Katelyn
hey if you guys come back, come out to brewhound dog park + bar! it's located in neptune beach fl, right off florida blvd. it's pretty much a dog park and you can get drinks and stuff. its pretty great!
LOVE chicken and waffles! It's a chain, right? Hopefully we can find one along our route! Thanks so much for watching, Jerome. Hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 - Howard
The word grom is shortened from the word grommet. Used mainly in surf culture, but is also used in the skateboarding community as well. A grom is young kid, usually under the age of 15, that likes to surf or skateboard.
You should have stopped by casa marina in jax beach. It is registered with the historic hotel society. Pres. Truman, al Capone, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor have stayed there.
Hi Debby! We'll add that to the list for our return visit! ☺️ We only had one day to explore and we know there's SO much more to see & do! Thanks for the recommendation, and for watching!! -Katelyn

I live in Jacksonville also. I explore quite a bit. We were attempting a day out today, but I got a headache so we came home. 😞
I too, live in Jacksonville! I admit, I need to explore more also.

I love the look of those big beautiful breakfast burritos they look so delicious especially on my 42 inch screen!
I've been to Angie's Subs 100 times and had no idea they even had a second location. I know where I'm eating this morning
Welcome to Jax! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks so much! We had a great visit, there's still so much to see and do.. hoping to visit again soon! -Katelyn

Grom might be short for Grommet which is a kid/young surfer.
Ohhhhh, that would make sense, since Angie's is a surfer theme and by a beach. 🤦♂️ Thanks, Renee! 👍 -Howard
Renee, you are correct......bunch of "Groms" in Jax Bch......at Mickler's it's easy to find shark teeth by just walking slowly alone the recent high water line, look for little black triangles you will find them at Mickler's when you bend over to pick them up you'll see that it's a shark tooth....if you're lucky and patient.
Christopher, glad to hear you don't have to dig and sift like we did to find sharks teeth! That sounds way easier! Thanks for sharing your technique, hopefully we'll be back soon to try it out. 👍 -Howard
A "grom" is a unit of measure. About 29 "groms" is equal to one ounce. Angie's has another location near the Mexican border called "Kilo-Groms". Check it out!
Grom is a surf/skate culture word or a small Honda motorbike. Fernandina Beach has a great masonry fort and lots of sharks teeth. I have thousands. You search as the wave goes out. Fernandina has dredging for the submarine base so there’s always fresh sand on the beach from the renourishment projects. It’s the coolest beach in Florida. Fort Clinch is spectacular. What are your camera rigs?
The bucees just got built
Jerry, the one we visited in AL looked brand new, do you mean that one? There are also several more about to open in FL! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
The next time you're in Jacksonville you'll have to make sure you're here on a Wednesday to see an AEW Dynamite show. It's a wrestling company that films their TNT show at Dailys place ever since the pandemic began. Great fun and an up and coming piece of local culture.
Thanks, Thomas, love getting these kinds of recommendations! Confession: we haven't watched a wrestling match in a LONG time. 😂 Just did some reading on AEW, and actually sounds pretty unique! I'll add it to the list for our next visit. Thanks again for the tip for watching! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
Grom = young surfer. You guys picked a good spot!
Thanks, Amanda! We loved exploring the beaches of Jacksonville. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our Part 2 Jacksonville episode that includes an interview with the owner of Angie's Grom! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard th-cam.com/video/InpoAoHVRH0/w-d-xo.html
I always enjoyed following your peripatetic journey. You guys rocks!
Hey Alain! Thanks so much, also learned a new word from you! Haha. 😄 -Katelyn
You guys make the best videos!
Thomas, thanks, my friend! Hope all is well with you and the family. ❤️ -Howard
We have to remember to not watch your vids on an empty stomach. Omg! We were drooling.
I (Lou) Stouts too.
Lou & Angie
Thanks for visiting!😊
Thanks, we had a great time! Any recommendations or favorite spots we should check out next time? -Howard
Yeeeeeeees WELCOME TO MY HOME TOWN DUVAL COUNTY JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA!!!!
Thanks, we had a great time in Jacksonville! ❤
DUUUUUVAAAALLLLL
Well-rounded tour! You two covered a lot in less than 15 minutes!
Thanks, and we're hoping to head back again very soon to explore more! Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
I've lived in Jax my whole life. Plenty of food to choose from. As for beaches, I rarely go to jax beach. Way to crowded with tourists. If you guys make it to the area again. You should go to Little Talbot Island beach off of Heckshire Drive. A whole lot less people and a beautiful beach to scour for shells. When you leave you can hit up The Sand Dollar restaurant. Great food and live music on occasion.
Chris, thanks so much for the recommendations! We're hoping to be back very soon, will definitely keep your advice in mind. Thanks for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
You gotta stop by Busy Bee on 1-10 right around where it hits I-75. Really similar to Buc-ee. Always stopped there on my way to and from FSU!
Yes, we've seen all the billboards! Do they have a particular food item we should try? Thanks for watching, Jacob! 👍 -Howard
Glad you stop by. Come back soon.😄
We plan on it, Laura! Hope to be back very, very soon. Any recommendations we should check out? -Howard
We have never been to Buc-ee's but we can't wait to run into one while on our travels! We will be Jacksonville next month so this video was very great timing!!
if you guys have a dog or don't, definitely check out brewhound dog park + bar!
@@alexispfister8894 no pets unfortunately but we googled that place and it seems really cool
You guys will be blown away! It is SO cool :) Definitely sensory overload. Haha. Yay! Hope you enjoy Jacksonville! Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
I was stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville. Will go back maybe this year.
Please do, and let us know what you think of your return trip! Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
You should of picked me up on your way to florida 😂. Beautiful
😂 With 3 dogs, not too much room for stowaways! 😂 Thanks so much for watching, Hannah! 👍 -Howard
I love buckeeys
Aren't they great, Mike?!! Do you have a favorite item from their menu? Thanks for watching! -Howard
Welcome to the first coast,
I live in Jax and one of my fondest memories was having my 16th birthday party at Michlers Beach. That was in 1977 and back then, that part of south Ponte Vedra was just a two lane road in the middle of nowhere; a jungle with no homes or development of any kind. It was a secret magical place that I truly miss.
Oh wow! That's awesome, such a great memory. The area sure has changed a bit! But the beach is still very beautiful. We loved walking and hunting for sharks teeth there. Thanks for watching, Apryl! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads So glad you enjoyed your visit and btw I just noticed I misspelled Mickler :-/. Ahhh the joys of getting old lol. Happy Travels!
Great video as usual!!!
As for Bucee’s, I live in Texas only about 9 miles from one! It. Ever gets old- I even did some Christmas shopping there😂
But Howard underestimated the number of pumps. The new locations have more than 100 pumps!!
In fact, one reason we go often is because they have DEF pumps for our diesel truck.
I have to add, every time I watch your videos, l’m ready to do a food and drink tour!🍻🌮
Julie, wow! I just looked up and saw that one of the newer Bucees has 120 pumps, which is unbelievable! Our first experience was one outside of Houston, but they're now about to open their first two locations here in FL. Thanks as always for watching! 👍 -Howard
Also if your in Jacksonville on a Saturday I also recommend going to the Riverside Arts Market as well
Chris, that sounds great! Is the arts market running during COVID restrictions? Hopefully we can return soon and check it out! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads yes with masks and social distancing in place...
We have never been to Buc-ee's before but have heard so much about them! We wonder if we will be as excited as Katelyn was when we see one! LOL! Angie's Grom looks amazing! We will have to add that to our list of places to visit! The river walk looks like a lot of fun! We can't wait to visit Jacksonville Beach! We love the beach! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Shion and Matthew, thanks so much for watching! Our first time was in Texas after a couple audibly gasped that we had never heard of them. We were sent in with recommendations of things to try, and the rest, as they say, is history. 😂 It is definitely worth a stop and to try all the delicious food! 👍 -Howard
Also, the St. John’s river is the only river to flow north in the United State’s.
Willamette River in Oregon and the Monongahela River WV/PA also flow nearly due North for their entirety. The Mojave and Genesee Rivers flow North. Deschutes, Bighorn, Eel and Fox Rivers flow North.
That mosaic under the bridge is based on a satellite photo of the St Johns River; the mirrored parts are the water.
Kurt, thanks for watching, and that's a great piece of trivia! I just remember taking a photo of it thinking, "that's a beautiful piece of public art" but not making the connection of the actual flow of the St Johns river. Appreciate the info! 👍 -Howard
Great video! We are from Texas and ALWAYS stop at a bucces! We visited Jacksonville a couple of months ago, we enjoyed it!
Thanks, you two! We first found out about Bucees from visiting Houston, now we might be a little obsessed. 😂 Thanks for watching! -Howard
I could comment on so many gorgeous bits: I'll limit myself to the bridge episode @9:19. Happens here in the Netherlands a lot. Some bridges won't open during peak hour traffic but be prepared, you'll experience this regularly if traveling here. In fact we look down a river and can see the bridge right in front of us. A moment of entertainment for us, but irritation for travelers. Love my Monday mornings traveling with you guys. See you next week. 👍 🎥 🌷 🙋♀️
It's so weird seeing you guys go to the same places I've been and the same roads I've driven down. Crazy man
We had a great time in Jacksonville, any more recommendations for our next visit? Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
A grom is a little surfer! We live next door to The Grom! Sorry we missed you!
Yes! We're so glad we asked because we had no idea what that word meant before, the best thing about travel is learning! ☺️ What a great area to live! We miiiight be back for another visit this week!🤞🤫 Thanks for watching Kevin! -Katelyn
A real nice pet friendly beach access and huge clean campground under oaks and pines, large sites, lots of Floridian shrubbery for site privacy, full hkups, mini campground store with ice cream counter, beachside restrooms and shower/rinse off stations, bike paths, playgrounds, etc that you should consider checking out - Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Campground. Reasonable camp fees, tent and rv sites with fire pit and picnic table, covered laundry facilities, bathhouses with showers, etc. It’s over near the Naval Base but on private land. Can watch the huge cargo and cruise ships enter from the ocean into the St John’s River. A favorite camping area of mine. 🚌 🐬🏕 🦐
Linda, we took your advice! Look for another video on Jacksonville in about a week. 😉 Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
I love your adventures! Thank you for bringing us along!!!!
Aww thank you Emily!! 🥰👏 So glad you enjoy our videos!! -Katelyn
I love Buc-ees
New sub. Was attracted because I'm planning to move to Jacksonville soon to be close to family. Thanks for showing cool places to visit. Grom looks like a neat place for sure. I envy your ability to go Nomad and in a nice looking RV. Happy Trails!
Hi Gilbert! So glad you found us, thanks for subscribing! Jacksonville will be a great area to live, we had a wonderful time. So much to see and do, plus the beaches are gorgeous. Definitely add Angie's Grom to your list.. it's amazing! -Katelyn
Jacksonville aint all that fun at all. I wish i was this excited if it was a reason to be excited.
This place is an absolute ghetto. I can say that because I have lived here for 46 years. My relatives must have been suffering from oxygen deprivation when they packed up from Maryland and decided to migrate here back in the 40s
I been living In Jacksonville for like year and half and I have never really explored it that much. Well for one I work to much and second I have no one to go with. But I like it here.
Hi Maribel! Well thanks for watching, hopefully you enjoyed seeing some of the spots we visited! It seems like a great area to live. :) -Katelyn
I am from Jacksonville , loved ur video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
I just discovered your channel thanks to eat see RV,nice video I’m binging you today,from Burlington NC
Gregory, so glad you found us and excited you're along for the journey! 👍 Howard & Katelyn
Hi Howard and Katelyn!
I enjoyed this video. The beach looked nice and the food you were eating looked really good. Don’t know what Grom means. But I love fudge and Katelyns fudge looked good. I didn’t know that happy hour at Ruth’s Chris’s steak house.
it was cheaper. That’s good to know. Thank you! Sorry about your Rv getting a scratch. Hope it’s ok and not a bad scratch. Looking forward to next video. See you next week.
Next time, stay at Hanna Park, an awesome campground on the Beach.
I currently live in Jacksonville. If you ever get a chance check out St Augustine its the coolest place ever. Well if you havent already that is. Pizza time on St George St was voted 2nd best pizza in the whole country a few years back.
Hi Amber! We had a great time in Jacksonville. And yes! We totally agree about St. Augustine... we visited when we first started RVing in 2018. That was the first place we stopped! We just didn't have a vlog then. Haha. We'll have to go back and check out that pizza place... MMM! -Katelyn
Glad u had fun here. And yeah its called pizza time and its usually very busy with a line out the door. But they move fast and its totally worth the wait. The owner gets all the ingredients he can imported straight from Italy.
There are three food places in Jacksonville you must try when you can.... Gators BBQ, Singletons Sea Food Shack (mayport) and Clarks Fish Camp ..... need to try them!!!!!!
Chris, thanks so much for all these recommendations! Adding them to the list for next time. 👍 -Howard
Thanks for another great video!
I love you Jacksonville and America good luck and like video my bro life in Jacksonville am from iraq good job
Originally being from Texas I was a little sad that they started making Bucees outside of TX in 2016 but was still fine because there was still a distance from me to the Bucees stores, you see, it was the sign that I was almost home. Now that they have one here in Jacksonville around the corner makes me even more sad ☹️ but I will refuse to go to one because it will no longer bring meaning to my 22 hour drive back home to Texas if I decide to start going here 😭
Seeing a bit of home right around the corner, I can see what you mean. The optimist in me says now you can enjoy your Bucees favorites without the special trip AND now when you drive home you can stop at Bucees along the way. Thanks for watching, hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
If you come back to Jacksonville y'all have to try sweet theory bakery! I'm not a vegan but they are a vegan bakery and I have never had a ad treat from them! Best treats ever!
Great Vid! I lived in Jax for seven years in the 90's. River City Brewing was there then and I visited it many times. Still have grown kids living in Jax. We have landed there several times since going full time.
We've spent every winter in FL for the past few years and never visited JAX until now! So glad we made the trip. River City was great, we liked every beer we tried! -Katelyn
As a Texan, i'm glad we have Buc-ee's. Best BBQ sandwiches and Beaver Nuggets on the road :) Also, have you folks ever used Harvest Hosts for RV stays?
Yes!! So delicious 🤤 we were so glad we discovered the wonderful words of Buc-ees! We have a Harvest Hosts membership but have only used it once or twice since the stays are limited to one night. -Katelyn
I've heard positive/negatives on the whole thing from a few RVers, mostly the max 1 night stay is the stickler..
Yeah, it's a little tough for us with the way that we travel but I will say we've always had wonderful experiences when we do use it!
Buc-ee’s founded by a Texas A&M Aggie! Whoop!
A grom is a young surfer... this is the smaller version of the main sub shop just called "Angies" just a few minutes away, hence the name Angies Grom, because it is the smaller one.
The staff told us about the original location, Angie's Subs... we definitely want to go there next time we visit! Thanks for the explanation on Grom, makes sense given the theme too! :) -Katelyn
Take A1A over toward the ferry along the
St John’s River. You’ll find a nice pull off area on the bend in the road that used to be a county park. I’ve slept in my rv there many a time, nestled back between the palm trees, along with watching the huge ships passing by entering the port. A great place to find
🦈 teeth. I’ve quite a few in amongst my small shell 🐚 collection. Folks swim and fish there as well. You will also find several riverside fresh seafood small neighborhood style restaurants there in the Mayport area just before the ferry dock. 🐟🦀🐡🦐
Oh my...that fudge looked good!!..haha..Scout sure can move fast up those stairs,I would be left far behind..lol.The food looks so delicious,I think I’m gaining weight watching this!! The beach is also my happy place,I could just stay there forever.Love drawbridges,the river walk had beautiful views.Beer...yes!! I love the dark ones,like Porter, Guinness.So funny how popular you become with munching ,my beagle is the same. So sorry about the scratches,thankful you got out without serious damage. So many items now,on my bucket-list.Thank you for this. See you soon. Stay safe. Big hugs to the puppies...🥰
The fudge is delicious! It didn't last very long 🤭😂 oh my goodness, the way Scout ran up those steps had me laughing so hard. She's such a little cutie! And thanks! The scratches were very minor 😊 ♥️♥️ -Katelyn
Omg y’all are here exactly where I’m at I’m so excited if I run into you guys here
Hi Zianiee! We loved Jacksonville! We were actually there in December, our vlogs are usually a few weeks behind but we might be back soon! Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
We live at JB and my wife’s family has been here since the Spanish got here in the 1500’s. Grom and Angie’s are both beach favorites. Next time you come, stay at Hanna or Huguenot city campgrounds. Hanna is in the woods next to the beach and Huguenot is on the river at the inlet, both are awesome. Also get some Mayport deep fried shrimp, you won’t be disappointed.
Hey Norton! Thanks for the recommendations! Those campgrounds look great. And yes, we loooved Grom. Definitely have to check out their other location when we're back! -Katelyn
A place that is actually booming
I’m from Jacksonville ❤️
We loved our visit! Hoping to come back again soon! -Katelyn
I’m going to Jacksonville and Daytona Beach in October for my birthday and I’m going to Bucees
So glad you were able to come to Jax and enjoy our incredible city! If you return, some must-sees:
Sweet Pete's: a giant candy mansion. Take the five dollar tour and learn all about the mansions history, Sweet Pete's, candy, and get a custom made, personalized chocolate bar!
Riverside Arts Market: Incredible food and arts market under the I95 bridge on Saturdays only. Also connects to the Riverwalk on the north bank. Walk the trail on that side all the way to the park. There's a really cool bridge where people have put hundreds of commemorative and memorial locks to signify relationships.
Treaty Oak: MASSIVE oak tree hundreds of years old with a park surrounding. Short stop but worth it. Absolutely beautiful.
Ed Austin Dog park: massive dog park great for the pooches.
Sliders: in Fernandina Beach. Best seafood. The scallops with smoked gouda grits are *chefs kiss* Right on the beach. Just up the road a bit is Peters Point beach. One of my fave beaches.
Boneyard Beach: a natural driftwood beach where you can take amazing photos. Massive driftwood trees with exposed root structure. No swimming for safety reasons but it really is incredible.
Kinglsey Plantation: historic plantation detailing history of Florida during Spanish occupation and transition to American occupation. Discusses slavery and a how slaves were treated, and how the Kinsley family, with one wife being a freed slave fared under each system, particularly the issues they faced once Florida transferred to America from Spain.
Not technically Jax, but a must see is Historic St Augustine, oldest city in the U.S. Sights that I highly recommend:
St. Augustine lighthouse
Lightner museum
Historic St. Augustine citywalk (great food spots. The Spanish Bakery and Cafe in historic district is DELICIOUS)
Castillo de Dan Marco
Fort Matanzas (closed due to covid but if it ever opens again, you get a free boatride to the fort and get to explore the structure including going up on the roof!
I moved here from Missouri two years ago and I never want to leave. Glad you were able to see some of the wonderful sights!
Wow, Cora! Thank you SO much! You should be our tour guide! 😆 This is amazing. We are hoping to visit again soon since we only had a day to explore and this list will be so helpful.
We've visited St. Augustine and love it! Such a beautiful and historic area. ☺️
Thanks so much for all these great recommendations and for watching our video! -Katelyn
Just found your channel! I’m from Crestview Fl!!!!
That's awesome! We had such a great time finally visiting our "home" in Crestview. Do you still live there? Thanks for watching! -Howard
How about going to orange beach great to have some insight from you guys
Tim, orange beach as in near Gulf Shores, AL? I think we might be passing through there soon, hopefully can take a look! 👍 -Howard
Angie's Grom is our surfing restaurant. A Grom is a young person participating in an extreme sport....Surfing in this case
if your ever in jacksonville u need to try metro diner the best food in town a grom is a little honda bike
Trever, yes someone suggested the chicken and waffles at Metro, what's your favorite? Thanks so much for watching! 👍 -Howard
Very lovable couple..
I hate that I love this damn city. But I've also been here my whole life.
Ruth's Chris happy hour is awesome. We go there on a regular basis to the one in Ponte Vedra Beach. It's a shame that while you were here you didn't get a chance to go up to the TPC clubhouse. It's such an impressive site. I've seen people walking on Ponte Vedra Beach with buckets of shark's teeth. I think I have found two in five years.
Hi Bill! We love a good Happy Hour! Oh wow, we'll have to add that to our list. We only had one day to visit, so it was a quick trip. We've gotten so many great recommendations though! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn
Can’t believe you guys were literally just down the road from our house when you visited Jax Beach. You need to try a couple of seafood places when you make it back to Jacksonville. 😊
Yesss! We would love that. Do you have any recommendations?! -Katelyn
Yes, Safe Harbor Seafood at the Intracoastal Waterway on Beach Blvd, and The Fish Company on Atlantic Blvd. near Pennman Rd. Safe Harbor is our favorite. Very casual waterfront dining.
@@wcedwardsjr thanks so much! Adding to the list, hopefully we'll be able to try them soon.
We just moved to St Augustine and have been looking for some new seafood places! Will try out your recommendations! Thx!
You should try Clark's fish camp
I live in Jacksonville and apologize you guys been all over the US & come to Jax. & stratch the RV.
It's OK, was bound to happen eventually, lol. The irony was it was in someone's driveway, not deep in a forest or somewhere else you might expect it to happen! Thanks for watching, and please share any recommendations for Jacksonville (we're already planning to be back soon). 👍 -Howard
I like Jacksonville move here from CO
Two great places we've visited, Jacksonville and Colorado! Glad you're enjoying our episodes, Familia Clarke! 👍 -Howard
We’ve stayed overnight at the Bucees in Alabama. Where y’all were. They have delicious coffee also. We usually buy couple bags . We live in south louisiana and visit pensacola Florida few times a year. We have a coachman beyond class b
Hi Ricky! Oh that's awesome, didn't know about their coffee. I love coffee, will have to give theirs a try! Pensacola is a great area to visit! What part of Louisiana are you in? We recently visited New Orleans (Howard has family there) and Abita Springs. Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads we live in Houma. About an hour from New Orleans.
We just got back from Florida ourselves! We were in Clearwater. I should’ve thought to look for a shark’s tooth! Jacksonville is really nice. No idea what a “grom” is, but the food looked great! 👍👍👍
We love Clearwater, Shannon! Hope you enjoyed your visit. Kinda hoping that you CAN'T find sharks teeth at every beach. 😂 -Howard
I’m a news photographer in Jacksonville. This just popped up on my recommended. Definitely earned a subscriber. Glad you enjoyed your trip here, hopefully the scratches weren’t too bad!!
Hi Riley!! I'm a former news reporter! ☺️👏 Jacksonville is great, we definitely want to come back because we only had one full day to explore! Thanks so much, they aren't too bad at all ☺️ so glad you found us and our channel, thanks for subscribing! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads No way!! So cool! Can’t wait to have you back!
Grom- Honda mini motorcycle lol probably not the same thing
😂😂 Probably not, Shane, but now I'm curious to see one of these motorcycles! Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
Welcome to the #904 🌤
hey if you guys come back, come out to brewhound dog park + bar! it's located in neptune beach fl, right off florida blvd. it's pretty much a dog park and you can get drinks and stuff. its pretty great!
Thanks for the recommendation, Alexis! We will add that to the list, the pups (and us) would love that! -Katelyn
Love it! I have been researching beaches on the east coast to look for shark teeth & beach glass!
Mickler's Landing is definitely one of the best according to several articles we found ☺️
Yes Buc-ee’s is awesome. We are sure to stop when visiting my son just east of Houston.
It's always such a treat! The fudge gets me every time haha.
If you want a great breakfast, be sure to stop at Metro Diner. Especially the chicken and waffles!
LOVE chicken and waffles! It's a chain, right? Hopefully we can find one along our route! Thanks so much for watching, Jerome. Hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 - Howard
@@NewstateNomads it is now, I remember them before they were on diners drive ins and dives so they are doing well now. Keep it up!
The word grom is shortened from the word grommet. Used mainly in surf culture, but is also used in the skateboarding community as well. A grom is young kid, usually under the age of 15, that likes to surf or skateboard.
You should have stopped by casa marina in jax beach. It is registered with the historic hotel society. Pres. Truman, al Capone, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor have stayed there.
Hi Debby! We'll add that to the list for our return visit! ☺️ We only had one day to explore and we know there's SO much more to see & do! Thanks for the recommendation, and for watching!! -Katelyn
