We started our day with breakfast at the hotel then headed out to pick up Carrie. We then went to NAS Jacksonville to get our new IDs. It turned out Tim did not have to get a new one just me. When we pulled into the parking lot the lot was almost full. We did not have an appointment so we thought that it was going to take awhile. So we signed in and as we entered the waiting room we were pleasantly surprised to see it was relatively empty, yay! I waited about 5 minutes, my name was called and 10 minutes later we were done and I walked out with my new ID. Wow and thanks NAS Jax IDs I thought 4 years ago was fast but this time it was too! So, with the IDs done we headed up to our storage locker. Do we know how to have a good time in Jax or what?
We have not been to the storage locker since last March and we knew it was full. We expected to be there all day so we got started pulling everything out to go through it one more time before packing it up and taking it to Tennessee. As Tim pulled out the boxes and crates Carrie and I went through them and organizing them by keep, sell (Carrie will take care of that) and trash. We did eliminate a few things but took all the clothes and several stamps to Carrie's house to go through. We were done by Noon which surprised us. We loaded up the truck with the sell and trash items and locked up the storage unit one last time.
We headed back to Middleburg, where things have changed greatly since we lived here, had lunch at Chick Fil-A then headed to Carrie's house. I am proud to say that after going through the clothing and stamps that I am leaving 90% of it with Carrie. For me to give up a stamp is a miracle. We spent a nice day with Carrie eventhough we were working. As we were going through things lots of memories and stories were shared.
We met Daniel after work and headed to La Nopalera for the best Mexican food ever! La Nop is one of our favorite places to eat when we are home. We thought the food at Loco fresh Mex in Gatlinburg was equal to La Nop but after having La Nop just a few days later we were wrong. La Nop is still the best! We did run into some friends at La Nop including the person who hired me at Toys R Us when we moved to Jacksonville 24 years ago.
I was hoping to get a chance to visit more friends but this was a short visit and we will catch them when I return in December. Thanks Carrie for hanging out with us. We sure did enjoy our time together even if we did not do much. So it is time to say "so long" to the Jacksonville area. We will we loading up our truck this morning and head back up to Tennessee.
