On Sunday, mom and Rich came to take the children off our hands. And, I'm happy to report, they were very sad to leave!
As is (apparently) becoming our custom, we took them down to Jacksonville Landing, and spent most of the day watching dolphins play in the river, grooving out to a local band, and just wandering around.
We had lunch at a very cool Mongolian-style restaurant, called Mongo's. I had never seen anything like it before, but I can guarantee that if you come to visit, I will be taking you there.
It's a really rustic-looking place, with bare, concrete floors, and very little decoration. We were clueless when the waitress told us there were no menus!
What you do is you get a small bowl, go to, what looks like a long salad bar, and begin stocking up on raw foods, such as veggies, meat, fish, chicken, and tofu.

Next, you pick some seasonings to sprinkle on your raw food. Then, you spoon a touch of oil onto the concoction.
After that, there are some other fixings you can add, including noodles, beans, sprouts, etc.
Then, you choose from a bunch of sauces, such as spicy lime or orange or teriyaki, and you bring your bowl over to the cook, who grills it in front of you on a hot, stone slab.

It was a unique and fun experience.
After lunch, we took the $5 water shuttle around downtown. We actually saw a bunch of dolphins playing right next to the boat, which was very cool!
Everyone seemed to enjoy the relaxing time on the water...
Afterwards, we grabbed some drinks at the outdoor bar and wandered around the shops until it was time to go home.
Good times had by all!
