Waterside
So many bodies of water here to watch the rare wildlife on while balancing out energy during exercise!

Museum
It’s usually free before noon on Saturdays! It really is an enjoyable active R&R thing to do! I lost count how many times my son and I walked through it over the years …we like it that much.

Concert Hall
You just might time it right to be here when the performing arts series is in full swing and they are usually free and open to the public! Even if you just choose to walk to it or around it or just see it- the architecture is worth the destination. The woodwork inside is so beautiful!

Sit outside- it is the most coveted spots for one of the best groups for live music near fire and water after 8 pm! The atmosphere is magical outside at night. Not so great inside. Even if you just eat soup or desert or sip on a drink it’s worth it for the music experience. Make a reservation or you’ll be waiting for a while.

I’ve only had their breakfast tacos and coffee but it’s good! What’s special is you can take your own coffee cup for them to fill up. Try it! And if you stay for a month or more and you think you’ll eat there often you can leave your mug there and they’ll pull it out for you when you go get coffee!
