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...
We had a great opportunity to visit Venice, Florida recently, and while we were there we had five must-dine experiences. Since this was our initial foray into the area, these were are first experiences. We didn't have a bad one in the lot.
The Breakfast Cottage
Although our trip was to Venice, we found the...
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...
In Spanish, Punta Gorda translates to "Fat Point." We have visited "Florida's Harborside Hometown" on several occasions. Perched at the convergence of the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor, it's a large promontory point, that gives the city its name.
Punta Gorda offers plenty of different little neighborhoods that provide opportunities for shopping and sightseeing. Marion Street,...
We have had a few very nice waterfront stays during our travels but few have been as nice as the Prestige Hotel in Vero Beach. Like the Sea Spray Inn, where we stayed on our last visit, this is a retro property. However, the Prestige Hotel is right on the water.
They only have...
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...
Those who follow us know we love the fun and funky. And The Bubble Room fits that bill to a "T." It's has both the quirky atmosphere we love and the food's not bad either. Our first experience was on our initial trip to Sanibel.
Recently we had the opportunity to return and show...
Recently we took a litte trip to the area of Venice and Nokomis. Never having been there before, we were surprised and delighted. There's a great variety of things to see and do, as well as a wide array of great places to dine.
It all started out when we found The Hotel Venezia....
As we have traveled through Florida we have come up on some wonderful historic downtown areas. We've visited Melbourne, Punta Gorda and Bartow to name a few. Located just off the Tamiami Trail south of Venice, the shopping area along Dearborn Street in Englewood is every bit as enchanting.
Also known as "Historic Olde...
  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 -...
