Eating healthy while traveling has been a challenge for us. Those who follow us know that we are seniors and that we believe in eating more natural fare. Many years ago Hippocrates said, " Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." That said, finding such restaurants while traveling can...
So we were traveling the Treasure Coast and looking for a place to have dinner. That's when we found Taste in Hobe Sound while perusing TripAdvisor. They list themselves as casual dining, but they are so much more. It took us a while to find the place at the intersection of Bridge Road and A1A...
We may have found one of the best Florida tourist attractions just south of Clermont. Oh yes, we had seen the Showcase of Citrus countless times as we have driven on Highway 27. But we stopped in recently and realized how much we had been missing. This place is a look at the real Florida and...
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...

There...

car on pit road in Sebring
ChampCar is a fun series that runs at the Sebring International Raceway from time to time. Now, they plan a 12-Hour overnight competition.
When we vacation we go to a lot of places that have funky and fun themes, but the food does not live up to the atmosphere. However, the Island Cow on Sanibel Island is an absolute exception. Sanibel is one of the Gulf coast communities that is just chocked full of great places. On...
