Nice CR. I've done all those except Bok Tower. What's that? Also I love Coconuts, and Captain J's. I need to go out to the beach some time again soon, that's a great idea.

St. Augustine First Friday Art Walk: 1st Friday evening of every month, free wine at each gallery. If you like wine and you like looking at art, you need to get to one of these. This is a very cool 1.5 hr evening getaway. Park at San Sebastian Winery, then follow the crowd or take the free trolley to all art galleries.

Bok Tower is out on 27 right around Haines City. It's a tall observation tower in the middle of a botanical garden. You can see it from 27, it looks interesting. I always drive by on my way down south and always say I'm going to check it out. Still on my to do list.

I have been told by all my friend to check out Coconuts at the beach but still getting my beach bod together. This could be on the to do list for a while.
