I have loved it from the moment I first stepped foot in the magnificent, story book setting of its Central Park. The large grassy expanses to sit and picnic, listen to live music, and my favorite, to gaze upon the water fountains. Today we were here for dinner at Pannullo’s Italian Restaurant, and then to watch the Amtrak Train roll through town. This Silver Service Train was on its way all the way up to New York City! Fascinating! This is stop number three on our Day Trip for Saturday, October 28, 2023.

We did end up staying and filming a vlog of some of the most breathtaking scenery at the park, so I could still share this beautiful place with you with a future video upload. I was hoping the service would stay strong enough for a livestream, but unfortunately, it looks like it didn’t work. Believe it or not, I was actually filming and talking to you and it showed I was live for thirty minutes, but then after the fact it now shows only a four minute stream. Sorry I couldn’t capture it live for you, but it’s breathtaking and worth a visit for sure. So look forward to an upload from Green Springs Park in the future. Love you!

Join us on another road trip adventure, folks! I’ll be going live today multiple times at various locations. And I will link the entire playlist below.

This is my first LIVE of the day. Crescent City is a very picturesque, small town in Putnam County, Florida. We stopped at the Kayak Launch because the setting just happened to catch my eye from the road. A beautiful spot indeed… There are picnic tables, a shaded gazebo, a secure/fenced in dog park, restrooms, a small park to stretch legs, and of course, the beautiful pier I’m taking you to on this leg of our journey. The weather is perfect and the view is spectacular! Thanks for joining me, and don’t forget to Like and Subscribe if you’re new here!

I’m leaving this video up so you can see, if you want, my ‘behind-the-scenes’ learning curve of trying to figure out livestreaming utilizing different software, lol. It is my intention to be open and honest at all times with my experiences of being a YouTuber, and that includes livestreaming to the platform. In the hopes that my experience can help anyone else going through the same journey, and/or having the same learning curve to go through as me. Specifically, live streaming through the YouTube App itself has been a bit of a challenge, in the sense that, if I want to do anything with the stream other than just let it be. To the point that I’ve finally decided I need to experiment utilizing a streaming app, to see if it will garner me a better user experience from my end. But other than my end - it does affect the viewer experience just the same as well - because, if I’m having a problem on my end, I’m not able to provide the best quality stream to the viewer. And that I consider a definite problem. And it’s happened enough that I need to figure out a solution. I’ve had Streamlabs for a long time, but didn’t want to use it. I wanted to stick with the YouTube App. But now that I’ve completed a bunch of livestreams on the platform, I realize and understand why streamers utilize other streaming software. A couple examples of difficulties I have been having while streaming through YouTube are: 1) The Zoom feature - which relates to number two below. 2) Ability to See and Read the Live Chat in real time. How they relate, and, let me explain: If I attempt to zoom in and zoom out, even one time during a stream, the live chat comments all reappear, and replicate upon themselves. So, then with each new live chat that comes in after the zoom, I am attempting to read the chat over a different chat from earlier, making the chat completely unreadable. It’s so confusing of an issue to have, I can barely even explain the issue in writing, lol. It seems like a bug with the YouTube app from the streamer end, but it’s been happening for a while, and I do hope it gets fixed soon. Or, it could be my phone, or anything else that I don’t even fully understand. But, either way, it’s affecting my ability to live stream successfully because I cannot read the chat, thus, I cannot respond to chat appropriately. And to me, the whole point of live streaming is to be able to chat with others in real time. Thus, leading to this stream right here. This is simply a TEST stream. And - guess what?! My first impressions, from a short stream, are that I LOVE Streamlabs! Comparing two streams back to back, from my end it’s so much more user-friendly and pleasing to the eye. I could see my chat, and I could zoom in and out - although - I must admit I was afraid to try zooming - lol. So thanks for allowing me to test this streaming service with y’all! I did not want to wait until my upcoming weekend streams to try out Streamlabs for the very first time. I’m much more of a ‘let’s do this and do it right now’ type of person when it comes to trying something new to me and/or different. I do love the challenge of furthering my personal growth and development, and if that means from the technological side of things, I’m all for it, even if I don’t fully understand what I’m about to learn. So - please - let me know! Have you used Streamlabs before? I'd love to know how you like it? And do you recommend it? Or, what other streaming service(s) have you utilized? What is your user experience? Thanks for being here and I look forward to seeing you and chatting with you this weekend! Love you!

Bryan spoke to him after our stream ended. The local news media was also on site to interview the boat owner. I’ve linked a news article related to this sailboat washing ashore below. Thanks for waking up the sun with me today! I hope you have a fabulous day ahead of you, and please enjoy this breathtaking sunrise in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. The weather is 70 degrees, a high of 80 degrees is forecasted. It’s a tad bit humid, but other than that, the weather is near perfection. We do walk 1.07 miles together - so get out your walking shoes, and let’s go! I was definitely not expecting the sight that awaited us when we crossed over the dunes this morning. To see a sailboat - literally - washed ashore?! It was kind of shocking. I’ve seen a lot of things washed ashore over the years, but never something this large, and this close to me. There’s been a rip current warning out, and definitely some angry waves as well. I always talk about how powerful the ocean can be - and this sight today is a prime example of the sheer power of those beautiful ocean waves. Happy Wednesday and I love you all! Christine During this livestream, I talked about drawing Dante from Coco. Thank you to Chris and Owen of Ear to Ear Magic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcEiLkBvQZs - for streaming a live Disney Animation class taking place in Animal Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World. And many thanks to Cast Member Gabriel for teaching the class on how to draw Dante the spirit animal. I share my Dante drawing with you in a photo below. Plus, I have more images of the sailboat on shore as well. If YOU end up drawing Dante, please share your image with me - I’d love to see it! And don’t forget to let me know who is your spirit animal?? I share mine with you in this video. Filmed LIVE on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

Let's Walk 1 MileWhere will we all be in July of 2029? That is the question I am pondering today. And I would like you to join me on a six year journey - together. Let’s go! On Friday, October 13, 2023, SpaceX launched a Falcon Heavy rocket for NASA into outer space. I find this quite fascinating, so I invite you to join me as I ramble on about this venture - and - let’s walk one mile together on the beach while we’re discussing this massive voyage. This launch was SpaceX’s 8th Falcon Heavy, and NASA paid SpaceX a sum of $131 million to launch this mission. The mission cost to NASA is $1.2 billion. The spacecraft is the size of a tennis court, and is now traveling on a six year journey, going 2.2 billion miles away from us here on Earth. It will arrive at an asteroid in July, 2029, and then study its magnetic fields and chemical makeup. Now- all of that information is WAY too complicated for me to even begin to understand. I can barely process the fact that the rocket lifted off successfully and left Earth’s atmosphere, let alone the fact that we sent something to land on an asteroid billions of miles away. But the point I’m making here today is about the journey - the voyage itself. We are voyagers… we always have been, and we always will be. As humans, we will always be looking out at the horizon, and wonder what is beyond it. This mission acts upon that belief. And I can’t help but do some dreaming of my own today... About what life will be like when that spacecraft makes it to its destination? Where will we all be? What will we be doing? What dreams - that we have today - will we have made come true? What will we still be dreaming about - six years from now? In this video, I invite you to add your dream, or dreams, into the comment section down below. I told you my own dreams in the video, and I’d love for you to share yours with me, and with the rest of all the dreamers out there. Think of it as sort of a form of ‘accountability’ or a declaration of sorts. There is definitely power in writing down your thoughts. So go ahead and let me know what a dream of yours is that you hope to have accomplished by the time this spacecraft meets up with the asteroid 2.2 billion miles from now, and six years from now. We can all work on our dreams together, and let’s meet up on the flip side once again. I’m going to check back on this video six years from now, and let’s see what we’ve dreamed along the way together. So today, I want you to dream - dream loud, dream hard, and dream proud. I am proud of you, and you should be proud of you too. Love ya! Christine Mickler’s Landing is a public beach access located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. At the intersection of A1A and Ponte Vedra Boulevard, there are bathrooms and showers on site, and this beach access is handicap accessible as well. Mickler’s Beach, as it’s also known, is an extremely popular spot to soak in the sun while in the greater Jacksonville area. Especially during the summer time, and weekends, Mickler’s Landing’s fairly small parking lot can be constantly full, with cars waiting in que to park, and a backup on the roadway. There are now lots across the main intersection that charge to park to help in the need for extra parking spaces. Mickler’s Landing is also a known shark tooth hunting spot. So while you may be looking out at the horizon line when you’re here, be sure to look down into the sand as well. You never know what kind of treasures you may find.

In this video I show you the very edge of downtown which is called Fernandina Beach. Specifically, I found myself on the literal edge of the water. We had just kept walking and the pathway kept leading us down the stairs so I kind of and sort of just found myself standing upon the edge of this dock. I do tend to just wind up in certain places by happenstance. As I stood there, looking out at the beauty, I realized I had to go LIVE right then and there. I hope you enjoy the scenery, the water, the reflections, the boats, the fluffy pooch I got to say hello to, the flags blowing in the wind, and the golden afternoon sunshine. Definitely check out the town of Fernandina Beach next time you are on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. Well worth a visit, for a day, an overnight, or for much longer too - there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, book shops, and tourist shops abound - Florida’s oldest bar included. But mostly, enjoy the scenery, the beauty of nature, all around you.

I’ve been to other areas, but never stopped the car at this exact parking lot before. Walk along with me as we explore Big Talbot Island. The views alone are worth a stop y’all. Let’s explore the Intracoastal views along the waterfront. The breathtaking marshes and wetlands, and grand, plantation style homes, settled off in the distance, along the water’s edge.

Mayport To Fort George Island, Florida!So - this adventure - I am soooo happy to bring to you! You guys - I have crossed the St. Johns River on the Auto Ferry more times than I could have ever counted. I LOVE this Jacksonville icon with all my heart. And today, I’m actually sharing it LIVE, with YOU! I hope you enjoy my trip across the beautiful and flowing St. Johns River, as viewed from inside the car, and from outside the car. Enjoy the sights and sounds - including the very loud boat horn. And while the pelicans may just be my favorite part of every trip across, please make sure to keep your eye open for dolphins, various birds, massive freight ships, Singleton’s Seafood Shack on the Mayport Village side, and the Sandollar Restaurant on the Fort George Island side of things. Our fare was $8.00 for a weekend trip. Fares are one way. There are bathrooms on both sides of the river, which come in useful, especially if you are far from home, or end up waiting for the ferry for a very long time. There are also picnic tables and a viewing platform/pavilion on either side of the river. And now, I even noticed an Amazon Locker on the Mayport side during this visit! The ferry runs seven days a week, and approximately every half hour. Have a fabulous voyage folks! Love ya’s! Christine P.S. You’ve gotta check out Island Donuts in Atlantic Beach, Florida!

MayportIf you do a search about how to livestream to zero people, every video I found that pops up is a ‘scripted’ video - upload - and not an actual livestream. Well, I’m here to change that tonight! Tonight, I’m going LIVE on YouTube to Zero People! And I’ll be discussing with you here every single thing I’ve learned about livestreaming since I’ve started, and what it’s like being a Baby Streamer on YouTube and exactly how it feels to be LIVE - to zero people! So Gosh you guys! This is my 11th Livestream! I really can’t even begin to believe how much I’ve learned about live streaming, and about myself, since completing my first ten streams! So join me as I reveal every single thing I’ve experienced since going live for the first time on YouTube! And, first, let me tell YOU - It’s been a blast! Since I began streaming, as a small, baby streamer, I have learned so much about myself, about YouTube, and about live streaming in general. In this stream, I’ll discuss mobile vs. laptop/pc, the (possibility) of uploading thumbnails as you go live, prompts on screen after the live begins that threw me off at first, public vs. privatized videos after your stream ends, YouTube dark theme vs. YouTube light theme, to having a support system there, and adding moderator(s), the list goes on. Then there’s the feels. How does it feel to stream to nobody, what do I think of the number count being on screen, and why do I keep going when nobody is in the chat - yet? But the two most important things I’ve learned I’ll tell right here as well - it is safety, and to just keep doing it! So join me tonight in Mayport, Florida - established 1562! Also known as Atlantic Beach, Florida, as we watch the golden hour, and let’s kiss the sun goodnight together along the intracoastal waterways of Jacksonville. The tide may be coming in, and the ice cream truck may be rolling on through, and boats may be floating on by, but this was the most glorious moment to chat with y'all about the importance of perseverance and continually pursuing your dreams, no matter what is going on around you, and even if no one is supporting you just yet. I’m here to remind you that there are people supporting you, they may be behind a screen, and subbed to your channel, but they are there, and they are real humans, and they are the reason someone, anyone, including myself, is able to stream LIVE on YouTube. Without those numbers, meaning people, one could not stream on YouTube. So tonight, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because without YOU - I could not even be livestreaming on YouTube! YOU are the YOU in YouTube - it’s not me - It’s all YOU!

LIVE in Mayport/Atlantic Beach, Florida! Intracoastal Views & PathwaysJoin me LIVE this golden afternoon in Mayport, Florida as we explore all the beauty surrounding us in the wetlands known as Dutton Island Preserve! This place is a must-visit if vacationing in the Jacksonville Beaches area of The Sunshine State. With views of the Intracoastal Waterway, and bridges on and off the San Pablo Island, the horizon is quite a hopeful sight to the eye here! Whether you’re a local, or a one time visitor, I highly recommend popping on over to Dutton Island Preserve. The marshes are marshy, and lands are quite wet, and that’s a good thing! But gosh, golly, and jeaz - apparently you should not forget your bug spray when you visit! While I was not attacked by hardly any bugs, Bryan, the hubbie, got really bit up and had to run back to the car for some bug spray. He’s the one smart enough to actually keep it stocked in the car, and I’m the oblivious one, taking things one little hop at a time. So while I was not prepared for bugs, it was a very good thing we had some in the car. Don’t visit without it! I hope you enjoy our lovely walk together. Let me know whatcha think? And if you’ve ever been here before, and do you want do visit? But most importantly, is your car continually stocked with bug spray? Let me know in the comments below. Love ya’s!

We are in Neptune Beach, Florida this morning to watch the sunrise, browse the tidelines for shark teeth, and glance out at the magnificently emerald toned waters. While the Atlantic Ocean was pretty flat today, the wave breaks were immensely loud and powerful. In the flatness of the horizon, we spotted a number of dolphins, jumping into the start of their day. A breathtaking sight - it always chokes me up - literally, lol. Also, I talked with two new channels in the chat, and it made my day. So thanks for joining me, and I’m wishing every single one of you a fabulous journey on the day ahead. If you are catching the replay, please say hello in the comments below.

Join us as we wind down the evening in Vilano Beach, Florida! If you didn’t catch the earlier stream, we had lunch and walked around Buc-ee’s in St. Augustine! You can catch that livestream replay right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPfd6bYS_jY Our adventures continued throughout St. Johns County this lovely Saturday, and our last stop was Porpoise Point, located at the southern edge of San Pablo Island in Vilano Beach, Florida. This is a not-so-secret spot on the island and if you blink, you really will miss it. Tonight we are taking you on a drive-on beach! Wahoo! Gosh - I live for this stuff you guys! So join me as I live streamed as we watch an autumn storm roll in, and the sun go down. It was an impromptu visit during my travels that day, and I got out of the car and realized all the natural beauty I was looking at, and I knew I needed to share this landscape with y’all. So let me know what you think? Have you ever been to Porpoise Point? Have you driven your vehicle on a beach before? Don’t let these moments in life pass you by. Get outside and breathe it all in baby! Editorial Disclaimer: *****But whatever you do - do NOT attempt to come out on this beach without an all-wheel drive car! Only 4 wheel drive passenger vehicles are allowed. You WILL get stuck without one, even if you think you won’t. Safety is first priority when driving on a public, crowded beach. There are not many unique spots like this, so let’s keep it special, and safe, ya’ll and please make sure to follow all local ordinances and rules if you do drive on out to this breathtakingly beautiful beach.***** Filmed LIVE on Saturday, October 7, 2023 on Porpoise Point, San Pablo Island, Florida. Also known as the Vilano Beach Point in Vilano Beach, Florida, as well as another common local term - the St. Augustine Inlet. Either way - if you’re looking to go, just go to the end of the island, and you’ll be sure to find the spot where the intracoastal meets the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks for joining me this evening. Love ya’s, Christine #vilanobeach #florida #porpoisepoint 10/7/2023 0 Comments 126) Buc-ee's LIVE St. Augustine, Florida - just off I-95 - Best Rest Stop & Gas Station in America!Alright folks, we’re gonna do some eating, and some walking. This is our first visit to Buc-ee’s - in St. Augustine, Florida! So, put your walking shoes on and come join me! We’ve been to both Buc-ee’s Calhoun, Georgia, and Buc-ee’s Warner Robins, Georgia. But today we’ve finally made it to my first visit to a Buc-ee’s located in The Sunshine State! Thanks for strolling along with me as I walk a 0.64 mile loop around the Buc-ee’s parking lot. This place is massive, you guys! I show you all the Tesla charging stations, the diesel area, the abundance of gas pumps, plus, a very pet-friendly space throughout the expansive property for dog relief, including dog poop bag/trash stations everywhere. A person has no excuse to not pick up after their pooch here, that’s for sure! And tons of grassy space for dogs, and humans alike, to stretch their legs. Inside the gas station, I mean shopping mall, I mean convenience store, I mean - I have no idea… the abundance continues. There’s endless drink stations, coffees, bakery, breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods. Homemade fudge?!! I even found out the difference between Beaver Chips and Beaver Nuggets! So, for lunch we decided upon Icee’s from the freestyle machines, I got cherry, and Bryan got wacky watermelon. I had the beef brisket sandwich, Bryan had the pulled pork sandwich. He also surprised me with those infamous Beaver Chips - which are basically freshly fried potato chip slices - very delicious, two thumbs up! We also purchased a boatload of snacks. We took home a ridiculously large bag of Beaver nuggets, and I bought Bryan a bag of pork rinds - regular flavor - he loves those. And then - oh gosh - the merch! So, let me tell you a little secret. Buc-ee’s has Christmas/Holiday Merchandise! I mean, who would have thought, right? Duh. So I might have bought some festive goods. Actually, I bought a Buc-ee’s ceramic ornament for $4.98 - very cute. And a holiday tee shirt for $17.98 - I don’t show the shirt on the livestream because I’m gonna wear it and show it in a future video. And most importantly - Thank you so much for joining me as we ‘tailgate’ - Beaver style. In a great mystery of life, I can’t figure out why, there is no place to sit down and eat inside Buc-ee’s or outside Buc-ee’s. So eating at the car is pretty much what most everybody does who comes here. I really did not want to eat my lovely brisket sandwich inside the car… I wanted the FULL Buc-ee’s experience. So I grabbed my bag chair and sat outside the back of the car in the parking lot. Watching the cars and trailers and pickup trucks come and go. Lines and lines of cars both coming and going in all directions. Then I tried to take you guys inside Buc-ee’s, but the internet cut out and I lost y’all for a while. So, sadly, I couldn’t really tour all the merch that I wanted to with you, but at least I was able to show you what we purchased ourselves. And lastly, there can’t be a Buc-ee’s video without me mentioning the restrooms. They are the best! The End. Gosh, you guys! I can’t thank you enough for coming along with me today! This being my third visit to a Buc-ee’s, I’m happy to say I really think Buc-ee’s is THE BEST gas station and highway rest stop in the United States of America! Crowning Buc-ee’s as Bean’s Best Award Winning Gas Station lol. But now it’s your turn - What do you think of Buc-ee’s? I’d LOVE to know your thoughts! Share with me in the comments below, and I’ll see you in the next livestream, from somewhere in The Sunshine State! Buc-ee’s St. Johns is open 24 hours and is located at: 200 World Commerce Pkwy St. Augustine, FL 32092 #bucees #staugustine #florida Filmed LIVE on Saturday, October 7, 2023 in St. Augustine, Florida. 10/4/2023 0 Comments 125) Wake Up & Walk 1.11 Miles with Me in Jacksonville Beach, Florida!

Love ya’s, Christine Filmed Wednesday, October 4, 2023 in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. #jaxbeach #florida #goodmorning Hang out with me under the Palm Valley Bridge this magnificent evening! You know - Jacksonville really is a City Of Bridges. So much activity happens underneath them - never mind how many cars traverse the top of them. I find bridges really fascinating, and they’re quite a good hang out spot as well. Added bonus - Anywhere there’s a bridge in The Sunshine State, there will be some shade underneath. So whether you’re hiding from a hot sun and cooling off in the shade, fishing the day away, or simply enjoying the views, be sure to spend some time underneath a Florida bridge next time you’re here. So I really hope you enjoy this evening live along the Intracoastal Waterway in the Palm Valley area of Ponte Vedra Beach. Situated between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. There’s so much nature to soak in here. Birds, jumping fish, hawks, tons and tons of little crabs scurrying about, and we just missed seeing a gator before going live. Plus, we had an absolutely phenomenal meal at the Palm Valley Outdoor Bar & Grill, just before we went live. We ordered the garlic shrimp appetizer, and then we both had the burger and fries for dinner. I highly recommend the Palm Valley Outdoor Bar & Grill. We’ve been there many, many times, and for some very special reasons - that I discuss on the livestream. I also wrote a blog article about this restaurant in the past, back from when restaurants reopened in 2020. So be sure to check that out, as it was the first restaurant we ate at after everything had been closed for a long while. http://www.christinesfloridiandreams.com/christines-dreams---blog/75-the-first-supper-palm-valley-outdoors-bar-grill The Palm Valley Outdoor Bar & Grill is located just under the Palm Valley Bridge at: 377 S. Roscoe Blvd. #2 Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida 32082 Filmed LIVE Saturday, September 30, 2023, in Palm Valley, Florida. Thanks for being here with me, and I would LOVE for you to Subscribe if you’re new to my channel, and Like this video, if you enjoy seeing the sights and sounds of The Sunshine State. Love y’all, Christine #palmvalley #intracoastal #florida |
