Hello there! I'm Jessica Zheng. As a proud mama of three adventurous daughters, I'm always on the lookout for exciting and educational weekend experiences that my girls can treasure.
Our travels have been our greatest teachers, offering lessons in history, art, culture, geography, social skills and science through hands-on exploration. That's why I’m excited to share our family weekend adventures, insider secrets, and travel tips, so your family travels can be full of exciting and educational experiences too!
What I love most about Jacksonville is its perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant city life. With breathtaking beaches, lush parks, inspiring museums, and countless family-friendly activities, this city offers an array of experiences. What's even more exciting is that Jacksonville is constantly growing and evolving, promising new restaurants to enjoy and new places to
explore!
One thing I always recommend to visitors in Jacksonville is to spend a day exploring the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. This place has been a favorite of ours since the day we moved here. Whether you're strolling through the beautiful gardens, getting up close with a wide variety of animals from around the world, or participating in interactive exhibits, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is a perfect family-friendly attraction where learning and fun go hand in hand.
🍜 Favorite Asian Restaurant: Phở Today – Their phở is simply unbeatable.
🦞 Favorite Seafood Restaurant: Palm Valley Fish Camp – Stunning waterfront views and fresh delicious seafood!
🍵Favorite Bubble Tea Cafes: Gong Cha Tea Jacksonville & Möge Tee Jacksonville
