Jacksonville's Coastal Charm

Southern Living, Feb 2005 by Austin, Farrah

Soothing Sunday

At The Inn at Oak Street, innkeeper Janice Husk serves divine waffles with fruit topping and whipped cream. Smoked maple bacon and fluffy eggs accompany the meal and set the tone for a merry morning.

On the way out of town, head over to Kids Kampus at Metropolitan Park downtown. Wee ones can ride bikes in a safe area, and you can perch in front of the St. Johns River for some reflection time. Jacksonville does a great job of balancing old Florida charm with its chic, contemporary side. The water just keeps it all afloat. FARRAH AUSTIN
