We were looking for fun things to do in Vero Beach on our last trip there. In our past visits we'd seen McKee Botanical Gardens but never had visited. This time we vowed to give it a try.
At 18 acres, it's a lot smaller than we had anticipated. Apparently, it originally had been much...
On our most recent visit, we found that Cafe 66 is a wonderful option for breakfast in Vero Beach. As always, we turned to the experts and asked our friends at Vero Beach Foodie for a recommendation.
I have to tell you, the responses came quickly. We reviewed them, did a little online review and...
Over our last few visits, we have found there are lots of things to do in Vero Beach. So, recently we decided to return. After no small amount of research, we decided again to stay at the Prestige Hotel. Although their ocean view rooms were a bit past our pricepoint, we were able to get a room...
We have visited the Town of Murals more than once and one of the best restaurants in Lake Placid has to be Morty & Edna's Craft Kitchen. The Main Street complex in which they're located at one time played host to the local newspaper.
The Lake Placid Journal is gone and a shopping and...
So we discovered the Amazing Grace tea house in Wauchula and it truly is a hidden gem. Actually,we were headed through Hardee County and my wife's eagle eye spotted their listing. When we got there, it appeared we had come in after the lunch rush. That meant there was plenty of of seating options and we...
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...
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...
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 may have found one of the best Florida tourist attractions just south of Clermont. Oh yes, we had seen the Showcase of Citrus countless times as we have driven on Highway 27. But we stopped in recently and realized how much we had been missing.
This place is a look at the real Florida and...
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...
