When we read the reviews of The Biscuit Barn, little did we know we were about to be treated to the best biscuits in Florida. We have read rave reviews before, however, upon our arrival the food was good but not great. This time we were more than pleasantly surprised.

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.

We are not seafood lovers, so to tell me we would end up at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar would have been amazing in itself. But it turned out to be one of the greatest dining experiences we have had in our sojourn around Florida
It started as a drive up Longboat Key, when Mrs. Funmeister...
For all the years we have lived in Florida we never really knew much about Eau Gallie. We were aware that it was a town someplace but never knew exactly where it was. We recently found out when we went to Melbourne and attended their First Friday celebration.

We have seen the Visit Central Florida posts on our Facebook feed for years. Recently we had a chance to visit the actual Visit Central Florida Visitor's Center itself. We discovered the rustic brown visitor information center just off Highway 27 in Davenport.
Located half way between Tampa and Orlando off I-4, it's a handy...
We have several go-to places when we want to dine in Sarasota. One place we always know we can get a great lunch is at Newk's Eatery. Nestled in University Park - it's one of only three in the Sunshine State. The others are in Clearwater and Palm Beach Gardens respectively.
What attracted us was...
So we chose a Vero Beach getaway for our first real trip after the great Covid-19 scare of 2020. Actually, it was not a real getaway as the restaurants had not opened for sit down dining and some of the places we wanted to go were not yet opened.
But never fear, we'll be...
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
the more interesting Coasts of Florida.
Florida’s Forgotten Coast encompasses that small notch of

When we visited the old Cypress Gardens, one of our most memorable experiences was watching the ski show. But after the Gardens became Legoland in 2011, we were saddened that the show would "never be the same." However, as fortune would have it, the Cypress Gardens ski team lives on.

The Sunshine State has more beach area than any other state. And each of the 12 coasts of Florida has it's own designation. We have compiled a dozen different named locales, although it appears there might even be more. Starting in Pensacola and ending up in Jacksonville there's some 1,350 miles of beach from the Gulf to...
