Jax Life
I was thinking about running somewhere new
I was considering walking under trees after dark
I imagined sitting by the Saint John’s River and watching the ripples roll by
I thought of digging my feet in Jax beach sand and leaning against the crests of the dunes
I got in my car and rode over bridges and peeked across water to see city lights
I pictured golf course stretches and waterside Christmas trees at the bay
I moved right into the arms of a holiday
The day I left Orlando I took my first trek up the right angle
Escape toward Daytona
Tag the beach
Then race up I-95
Towards home
A new home
Black Sheep at Five Points
Had to go here twice it was so delicious.
Beachside fun at the Pier
Tacos. Surf N Turf. Mahi. Beer specials and the nearby allure of a live band at The Wreck.
RIP Chicago Pizza at Jax Landing

Family Adventure at Clark's
All around town I'm on a mission to find the perfect blend of great food and just the right ambiance. One of my first discoveries was Clark's Fish Camp - a place full of taxidermy, treats, endless meats and wild decor!
