Such a cool museum. And it's located right on the river walk. You could park at the museum and spend the rest of the afternoon strolling along the St. John's River.

The San Marco location has a lovely patio and makes the perfect brunch spot. If you're a local, Southern Grounds is definitely on your rotation. If you're visiting, put it into your trip agenda.

For less than the cost of a ride share back and forth to lunch, you can rent a bike all day and go anywhere you want. Jax beach is very bike friendly. It's actually easier to get around on a bike than a car.

Running on the bridges with the St. John's River beneath you is quite the experience. If you're a runner who loves experiential races (especially if you're not a competitive runner - like me), this is the one for you.
