Jacksonville Day Trip: Museum + Food Adventure 🎨🍣🔥

📍 Itinerary: 10:30AM | Depart Gainesville 12:00PM | Lunch at Oishi Sushi (meh 🍣 – fish didn't taste fresh) 2:00PM | Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens (lovely flamingos & riverside gardens 🌿🦩) 4:30PM | Quick stop at St. Johns Town Center (outdoor mall, like an outlet 🛍️) 6:30PM | Dinner at Top Pot & K BBQ (🔥🔥🔥 must-try hot pot & grill buffet!) 9:00PM | Drive back ✨ Highlights: 1. Cummer Museum Garden vibes: Classic flamingos, blooming flowers, and St. Johns River views 🌊 Art section: Small but well-curated (great for casual viewers 🖼️) Time spent: ~2 hours 2. St. Johns Town Center Large open-air shopping center (didn’t stay long, but good for quick browsing 🛒) 3. Food Reviews: Oishi Sushi: Skip it – fish wasn’t fresh 😕 Top Pot & K BBQ: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🏆 Hot pot only option (to avoid BBQ wait) Rich sesame & peanut sauces 🥜 Real shrimp paste (not starch!) 🍤 Free appetizers: Crispy pork & seafood pancake (we skipped the pancake) Dessert bar: Tapioca & snow fungus soup (drank multiple bowls! 🍧) Only con: Limited sauce options (missing fermented tofu) Verdict: A solid day trip from Gainesville! Will return for Top Pot’s BBQ next time. #FloridaLife #JaxEats #MuseumDay #HotPotHeaven #WeekendVibes 🌴🍲🎨
