So we heard about ice cream at the Milking R Dairy in Okeechobee. They not only have a varied selection of flavors, they have a wonderful layout. It can be a great experience for young and old alike. Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky. Besides, July is Ice Cream Month, so we...
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...
So, we are always looking for new and innovative places to eat. The Pantry in Auburndale is new, innovative and already may well be one of the best restaurants in Polk County.
We first heard about this place on the Polk County Restaurants & Reviews Facebook page. Fortunately, we already were headed in that general...
Recently we blogged about our trip to Delray Beach and their Green market. The experience inspired us to go back to the Sarasota Farmers' Market for what we think is probably the best of its kind in the State of Florida. At 40-years old, it certainly is one of the longest-lived in the Sunshine State.

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 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...
We have written about DeLand in the past. Recently, we found a little community nestled inside their Historic downtown. Dubbed "Artisan Alley," it is dotted with interesting shops, restaurants and clubs that are in a three block area just off the beaten Path.
Finding it is Half the Fun
It really is pretty...
Those who follow us here at Florida Fun Travel know we like wonderful restaurants with fun atmospheres and the Sweet Sage Cafe & Boutique fills the bill. It's located in North Reddington Beach on Florida's west coast. We discovered it on our way to visit John's Pass.
When we first arrived at the Sweet Sage, we...
We have written about the Wild Turkey Tavern in the past. It is one of the Eight Restaurants on Florida's Ridge You Owe It to Yourself to Try. Since that time, we found how The Wild Turkey transformed from a local hangout to a true experience of country dining and entertainment.
We learned that...
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...
