While looking for a great breakfast in Venice recently, we rediscovered the Original Word of Mouth. Actually, we'd found this place once before - the first time we visited "The Sharktooth Capital of the World." And just like the first time, we had a wonderful experience.

The Venice location is the second Original Word of Mouth, causing me to...
We always are looking for a good breakfast and we found one in Osprey at A Good Day Cafe. Their slogan is "A Good Day Starts Here" and as far as we're concerned, they're right.
Actually, we found this little gem tucked in the corner of the Blackburn Point shopping center just off Tamiami Trail. It's the kind of place...
Down in Nokomis is the Gulf Shores Beach Resort Motel - this is not your typical lodging. We found it a delightful throwback to old Florida in many ways.

To our delight, Gulf Shores Beach Resort actually boasts dual waterfronts. There is a private beach along the Gulf of Mexico and a...
Those who follow us know we like to explore the Sunshine State for the fun and funky. However, sometimes we just want to take a safe Florida vacation where we have some old favorites and don't have to worry. Such was our last foray over to the Gulf.

I have to tell you, the responses came quickly. We reviewed them, did a little online review and...
We always like to find new experiences and Nokomo's Sunset Hut in Nokomis was a very pleasant surprise. Actually, we discovered this place during our stay at the Bentley Botique Hotel. We were looking for a late night snack in the area and this was the only place that still was open at the time.

July is Ice Cream Month, so we decided to celebrate with a trip to the Venice Avenue Creamery in beautiful downtown Venice. Formerly known as Bresler's, this was a great find. As their sign says, "It's the same folks with a different name."
They told us that they have been serving up premium hand-dipped ice...
As we travel to different areas, we try to find out a bit about the region. On our most recent trip to Vero Beach we discovered the Indian River Citrus Museum - a great little place that was fun and jam-packed with information.
The official name is the "Heritage Center and Indian River Citrus Museum."...
When it comes to a good breakfast in Vero Beach, Mrs. Mac's Fillin' Station is difficult to beat. We had our first exposure to Mrs Mac's during our initial Vero Beach getaway. but we didn't actually eat there.
