So, earlier we talked about the SpaceX manned launch. After it was scrubbed from a mid-week affair to a Saturday, we took the plunge and decided to head to the Space Coast. I think this was one of our most impromptu and funnest trips ever.
We called an old standby, the LaQuinta Inn & Suites...
You know, we all scream for ice cream. And recently we had an opportunity to make a sweet stop for some ice cream in Englewood. It was a place I'd wanted to visit for a while. Made in the Shade Ice Cream was one of our first followers on Instagram and always has been faithful in...
Recently we went looking for an economical stay on Florida's Gulf coast. That's when we found the Bentley Boutique Hotel. A hotel at such a reasonable pricepoint always is a bit of a gamble. But when we got there - we found Bentley's to be just right.

When we first arrived at the Sweet Sage, we...
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.

We’re told that “Florida’s Forgotten Coast” is billed as “the
last remaining stretch of unspoiled, pristine Gulf Coast beaches that
haven’t been overrun by high rises and strip malls.” To us, it’s one of
