When it comes to a true ice cream experience in Central Florida, our choice is Frostbite Ice Cream in the little hamlet of Frostproof. It's nestled along Highway 27A on the edge of town.
The first thing we noticed was in addition to the dine-in the place also does a great drive-thru business.

We have been in Frostproof before and when we heard there was a Valentine's street dance going on, it called for a return visit. This tiny hamlet in Polk County is known as "The Friendly City and it's easy to see why.
When we arrived, the sun had set. Wall Street was blocked off...
The city of Arcadia has positioned itself as center for antiques in Florida. We found a lot of quaint little shops there, but the Bizarre Bazaar is an antique store with an unusual atmosphere. We discovered it on the second floor of the Arcadia Opera house.
Those who follow us know we like the fun and...
We found the Ovation Bistro & Bar first while looking for a place to eat near I-4. This one was in Davenport. It was mid afternoon and we ended up having a late lunch.
It was a nice place, a lot of dark wood and leather, with an extensive bar. The food was good...
When we vacation we go to a lot of places that have funky and fun themes, but the food does not live up to the atmosphere. However, the Island Cow on Sanibel Island is an absolute exception.
Sanibel is one of the Gulf coast communities that is just chocked full of great places. On...
  Those wishing to spend a Saturday in Sarasota can have quite a bit of fun. We found a myriad of different things to see, do and experience. And, at relatively low prices.
 Mrs Funmeister and myself recently packed up the wagon and headed out to the city by the Gulf for a bit of shopping and relaxation.
The Farmer's...
When it comes to soft serve ice cream, Surf's Up Ice Cream Shack in Haines City might be one of the best kept secrets in central Florida. It's a great location for soft serve and other chilled treats. Plus it's a destination point for fun (especially if you have kids).
Again, we were tipped to...
National Picnic Day is coming up, so we decided to go and have a real Florida picnic in preparation to blog about this blessed event. We had seen an old fashioned hoedown advertised near Bartow - and had planned to attend that even.
However, after hours of searching (it seems our satellite and computer-aided guidance...
While checking restaurants in Clermont we came upon the Crooked Spoon. We found it at the intersection of Citrus Tower Boulevard and US Highway 27 in the shadow of the famous Citrus Tower. Actually defined as a "Gastropub," this place is a wonderful dining experience.
A Gastropub
I actually had to look up "gastropub." Apparently it is...
We were cruising up Highway 27 through Haines City looking for brunch. There, we came upon The Egg City Diner. Little did we know that in addition to a great meal, we'd get thrown back in time.
We pulled into the parking lot to a single story building. It was before lunch so there weren't...
