We were headed for Made in the Shade Ice Cream and discovered an Englewood restaurant that's is a whole lot of fun. The Country Hound Cafe. It's a mom & pop operation that's as good as any and better than most.
Tucked in the corner of the Palm Plaza off McCall Road - it's...
When we found Pane E Vino, we didn't know it would be one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. In fact, it is one of the best restaurants we have encountered. Certainly it is the best Italian cuisine we have come across in our travels.
It all started when we were looking for someplace new to...
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...
You know, we all scream for ice cream. And recently we had an opportunity to make a sweet stop for some ice cream in Englewood. It was a place I'd wanted to visit for a while. Made in the Shade Ice Cream was one of our first followers on Instagram and always has been faithful in...

To tell you the truth, we can hardly wait. For us,...
This is the start of Tourism Week in Florida. It is also the first time in two months the restaurants have been open for sit down dining. We decided to celebrate both occasions with a trip to Winter Haven to enjoy Bistro Pizza.
We have blogged about this place in the past. It 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...
So last week I was minding my own business and cruising my Facebook page when I came upon an online trivia show hosted by Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands. Well, I decided to play along and ended up winning an echo dot.
Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands is the official travel planning resource for Anna Maria...
We had the opportunity recently to run up to Lake Mirror Park in Lakeland. Those who follow us know we like to explore - and this became an unexpected adventure. We found Lake Mirror Park was a whole lot more than we had anticipated.
Our main objective had been lunch, but when we got there,...
