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...
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.
We booked a couple of nights at...
Recently our travels took us to Delray Beach. There, we discovered their weekly "Green Market." We have been to a few farmer's markets. As far as we are concerned this is one of the best.

As we understand it, the Delray Beach Green Market got its start more than 20 years ago. Originally....
In Fort Myers, The Love Boat is a quick way of taking a cruise back in time to an old fashioned ice cream shop. We had seen this place on TripAdvisor and had wanted to stop during several visits to the area. However, we just did not have the opportunity.
For a while, The Love...
We stumbled on The Mango Bistro quite by accident and it was a lucky find. On Dearborn Street in Englewood, it is at the gateway to the little downtown area.
When we found it, we had been in search of a farmer's market which apparently ended in May. The reviews we saw in TripAdvisor enticed...
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...
In the past we have stayed at many chain hotels. Most of the time we had flags we trusted where we also could earn points. However, lately we have tried some boutique hotels. The latest is the Inn at the Beach Venice - which proved to be a wonderful experience.
A "Boutique...
Heading home from an adventure in Fort Myers Beach, we stopped at Sandra's in Punta Gorda. It was a German cuisine experience not to be missed. .
Sandra's is German owned and operated, They serve authentic German & European Cuisine and are prod of it. The owners tout their high quality ingredients and the...
  If you like garlic, we have discovered the annual South Florida Garlic Festival. As food-oriented festivals go we think it's as inventive as any and better than most.  We took a Saturday out of the three day festival to see the sights and enjoy the cuisine.
Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky -...
We were on one of our many forays to Florida's Atlantic Coast when we came across Waldo's at the Historic Driftwood Resort. Located in Vero Beach along the beautiful Treasure Coast, it was a wonderful experience in more ways than one.
We first wrote about Waldo's Restaurant & Lounge in our blog about...
