For all those parents out there tired of slaving over a hot stove all Thanksgiving, a holiday visit to Jacksonville, FL can be a real lifesaver.
Rather than being stuck in the gloom and cold, the coast of Jacksonville offers a generous view of the Atlantic Ocean for winter-weary visitors.
While the city decks itself out for Christmas as early as the beginning of November, the sight of glowing lights and holiday teas is most always welcome, especially with all the great events going on, including holiday home tours, and visits from Santa.
For a traditional dinner, for under $50 the family can eat their fill at the luxurious Casa Marina Hotel.
This Thanksgiving, take a breather in Jacksonville.
