EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the top tailgating stadiums in the country. The mild Florida weather means fans can cook out and cool off throughout the football season while other parts of the country are snowed in. EverBank Stadium is home to the Jacksonville Jaguars and can seat almost 70,000. Along with the Jaguars NFL team, EverBank Field hosts college games throughout the year - like the UGA-UF rivalry game - and events and concerts for Jacksonville residents.
Things to Do at EverBank Field
The designers at EverBank Field made sure there were plenty of opportunities for excitement throughout the stadium. Guests at this stadium can grab a quick drink in the Bud Light Party Zone or spend the whole game relaxing in one of the high-end cabanas. In FanDuelVille located in the north end zone, fans can enjoy live music or dance to guest DJs who bring the party and get fans riled up for the game. Kids can play in the Jaguars Cub Club or Junior Jags, which cater to kids up until they turn 12.
Florida can get hot - especially in the summer - so visitors can also stop by the Sea Best Cool Zones with fans, air conditioning, and mist to escape the sun before returning to watch their team score a touchdown.
Hotels Near EverBank Field
There are multiple hotels for visitors to choose from for a stay in Jacksonville. The Holiday Inn Express: Jacksonville East offers a family-friendly getaway if you’re enjoying a quick vacation while watching the Jags play. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, The Hotel Indigo: Jacksonville-Deerwood Park offers a boutique experience for couples who want to escape the noise of the city and enjoy some quiet time away.
Where to Stay in Jacksonville
If you're planning a trip to Jacksonville to watch a Jaguars game, consider staying just outside of Jacksonville when you visit.

These two highways both take drivers close to EverBank Field, and there is plenty of parking for all visitors. Traffic conditions can change due to construction, so the Jaguars head office encourages visitors to check traffic beforehand and before leaving the game to see if there are alternative routes outside of the city.

My first brush with Paris was when I was an impressionable teenager, utterly enchanted by the romance of Paris. After watching "Before Sunset" a zillion times, Paris had become my dream destination. During my first visit, it didn't disappoint me in the least.
While doing all the touristy things, I starred in my own imaginary feature film. I walked down the Champs-Élysées, met someone special by the Arc de Triomphe, sailed into the sunset with him over River Seine, and finally locked lips by the illuminated Eiffel Tower. It was perfect.
As my fascination for travel grew over the years, however, I began to explore parts of Paris that I didn't know existed. I discovered a haven for art lovers, a sanctuary for historians, and a magical land for children. In every corner of the city, I've found a scrumptious café, a creative art class, a great sculpting studio, a designer boutique, and much more. It's this contrast of old-world charm and contemporary magnetism that makes Paris the place to visit. Whether you have just a day or a lifetime to live like a Parisian, you must capture the spirit of Paris. Here's how to enjoy your visit to the fullest.
Moving Around
To experience the beauty of the city, travellers must explore it on foot or by metro. City walks with local guides give visitors a first-hand opportunity to take in the sights, sounds, scents, flavours, and feel of the city.
Staying Put
To feel the energy of the city, travellers must find accommodations in a location that offers true Parisian atmosphere. Though there are abundant hotel options, travellers could opt for a serviced apartment or a homestay to offer them the comfort of home.
Feasting Locally
To savour the flavours of the land, travellers should dine at friendly corner bistros that serve simple meals in an authentic way, in addition to relishing a variety of sweet treats. It's a gastronomic delight to alternate among Michelin-starred dinners, street stands crêpes, raw cheeses, and artisanal baguettes, savouring everything as a proud Parisian does.
Shopping Regionally
To flaunt the latest styles, travellers must browse through the emerging neighbourhood markets, where they will find unique, chic, and affordable fashions. Quirky independent shops line the sidewalks and offer an interesting blend of items, making for a perfect place to unwind while unearthing souvenirs ideal for a range of budgets.
Exploring Sites
To get to know Paris, travellers must curtail the pressure to see it all and instead spend quality time at a few selected locations. Skip the touristy places that are swamped with visitors and look for more intimate places such as the Musée d'Orsay, the Luxembourg Gardens, and Le Marais. There is no way you will be able to do it all, so plan accordingly and save the rest for return trips.
So walk along, shop till you drop, and gorge until your belly hurts. Do the same thing the next day, as the City of Light shines brightly.
Until next time,

In the most rampant digital age, creating memories through a thousand pictures a day is an easy task, however, it is much easier to forget about them in the uncountable digital albums we have. I’ve always loved to flick through family albums that transports me back in time.
I still remember the summer holidays at my grandpa’s that were no short of crazy adventures and during one such day out, grandpa went click-click with a Polaroid camera and amazed us with the instant pictures. Since then I’ve always associated a Polaroid camera with vintage luxury. Over the years, many manufacturers have launched and discontinued their instant camera and films. But for me, the memories with an instant camera is very precious and it has been an incredibly difficult addiction to give up.
The brand once again sent me their brand new offering, and it’s the perfect conversation starter that will need no introduction. In terms of pricing, the Mini 9 will be priced at INR 5,999 when it starts retailing. The price is more or less similar to the price of the Mini 8 which was priced at INR 6,490 when it was launched in India. The camera joins Fujifilm’s existing range of instant cameras which include the Mini 25, Mini 70, Mini 90 and Wide 300. To learn more about the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 or any other of their amazing products visit the official Fujifilm website, here.
In the times of several editing tools we use for that perfect picture, I absolutely love the natural pictures that may show my imperfections. Today is the day I’m going to click some pictures with my little one, get #instaxicated and put the pictures on the fairy lights in her bedroom. I may share that perfect picture with you soon.

But for me, the memories with an instant camera is very precious and it has been an incredibly difficult addiction to give up.
Instant photography still makes me feel great and when I learnt about Fujifilm launching their Instax line I couldn’t contain myself. As the brand launched the Instax Mini 8, I decided to bite the bullet and get myself one of the lovely candy coloured pieces. However being a blogger has its perks, Fujifilm India invited me to the launch event in Mumbai and gave me my very own Instax Mini 8 Joy Box.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Joy Box came with the camera (of course) along with a carry bag, film rolls, a permanent marker to make notes on the photos and the most important accessory, a selfie lens and mirror to check my reflection before clicking the best selfies ever with an instant camera. Since then the Mini 8 has become my style statement for its ease of use, quality and the fun it brings to my outings.
The company recently launched its latest upgrade to the Mini 8, the Instax Mini 9. The brand has built on the success of its most popular product and upgraded the Instax Mini 8, to the Mini 9 with a few minor changes. The most important feature that the Mini 9 is being differentiated by is the High Key picture mode that will allow brighter and sharper images. The add-on accessories include a selfie mirror and a clip-on close-up lens that will allow for shooting at a close range. Similar to the Mini 8, the Mini 9 uses the Instax Mini film cartridges that produce credit-card-sized prints within moments of capture. Both the colour and monochrome variants of the film packs will be compatible with the new Mini 9.
