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.

I'd like to continue the review of our travels in 2020 where we left off in June. That's when Florida began to re-open. Restaurants and bars were allowed to have inside operations, some of the attractions opening their doors and even some shows and activities started up again.
In late June we headed to the Prestige Hotel in Vero Beach...
We have written in the past about the Wild Turkey Tavern in Avon Park. Recently we learned that they are serving breakfast. They're only available on the weekend, which fit our schedule. So, we decided to drop by and give it a shot.
Our Breakfast
The restaurant only recently added the breakfast option. They start at...
We have passed by Webb's Candy Factory on Highway 27 in Polk County many times. But like others, we'd never stopped. Recently we pulled in to visit and found out what we had been missing.

In all, there actually are five official...
Recently my wife and I had a discussion over which we liked better the Florida sunrise or sunset. First, we decided that "better" might not be the proper word. For us, it might rather be "which do you prefer?"
As it turns out, each has its own charm.
The Sunrise
There's something about getting...
January is Be Kind to Food Servers Month. So we thought we might take this opportunity to echo that thought. Those who follow us here at Florida Fun Travel, know we do a lot of eating on the road. We have dined when the place was crammed with snowbirds. We also have eaten at restaurants that...
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...
It appears that due to the Coronavirus some think Memorial Day travel might be down - but not for us. Our plan is to get back into vacation mode
We recently received a press release from the American Automobile Club (AAA). It said for the first time in 20 years, AAA would not issue...
