It's that time of year again, when historic cars are joined by vintage warbirds at the Sebring International Raceway. It's a unique look back in time.
It's a Tribute
We always love the fun and excitement of Sebring. It's hard to beat the sights and sounds of a road race there. This week, the Historic Sportscar...
This Thanksgiving we ventured to Tarpon Springs. It is the Grecian capitol of Florida and the Sponge Capital of the World.
As most people know, the restaurant world virtually closes to the public on Thanksgiving day. That's when the bulk of the American public gathers for family time and football.

We found Oscar Scherer State Park almost directly across the street from Bentley's Boutique Hotel in Osprey. We'd seen the signs on previous visits, but hadn't had the time to visit. It was not our first Florida state park. In the past, we explored Highlands Hammock State Park - a sprawling facility in Highlands County.
However, at almost 1400 acres...
Most Polk County residents know Bartow as the county seat. Some travelers may think that Bartow is the section of town where Florida Highway 60 and US 98 come together. However, just off that main thoroughfare is a quaint little section of town that is rife with interesting little shops and delicious eateries.

We took a recent trip to High Springs on a lark. There we found one of the coolest little places we have run upon while traveling the Sunshine State. The cornerstone of our experience was a stop at The Great Outdoors Restaurant.
Located on North Main Street in the historic downtown district, the place is...
When last we visited Anna Maria Island, we were at Bradenton Beach and found Joe's Eats & Sweets. It's an absolute destination location and Joe's is as much fun on the inside as it is on the outside.
They are quick to tell you at Joe's they make all their ice cream...
We had read about Bob's Train. It is a restaurant in a railway car, tucked away in a Sarasota industrial park. I must admit, it was no small feat to find the place. We had been cautioned some GPS might not be able to find it - ours was one of them.
Those...
There are plenty of unique things to see and do in central Florida. From the Monument of States in Kissemmee to Solomon's Castle in Ona there's a lot of fun there. But nothing is more wacky. exciting and fun than lawn mower racing in Avon Park.
Yes, they soup up lawnmowers and take them...
We discovered Martin's Country Market as we were cruising on State Road 17 down to Arcadia. My wife was doing an internet search for a lunch location and found their listing.
"Hey, this place looks interesting," she said. And with that we were off. We entered of the address into our GPS system and headed there....
We had seen the Ron Jon's Surf Shop billboards for years. So when we visited Cocoa Beach, we decided to pay them a visit. Even if you are not a surfer yourself, you have to be blown away. If nothing else, by the sheer volume and scope of their inventory.
After all, it's not only the...
