To celebrate the 4th of July Independence Day we went to see the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp baseball game. Yes, that's the name of the team! Until last year they were the Jacksonville Suns, but the owner thought that did not sound as intimidating as the Jumbo Shrimp.
You can see the mascot on the jumbotron. (Click on the picture to check if it really is intimidating.)
Are you intimidated? The opponents, the "Look Outs," must have been because we beat them 11 to 3. Jumbo shrimp are harvested off the Atlantic coast of North Florida.
After the sun set in the west, we were treated to spectacular fireworks on the north end of the field above the jumbotron. Here's a sampling:
Looks like a fun 4th of July in N. Florida. The Jumbo Shrimp sounds like a good team name to me....the Jumbos, the Mighty Prawns, the Shrimpies...lots of variations possible.
