When we read the reviews of The Biscuit Barn, little did we know we were about to be treated to the best biscuits in Florida. We have read rave reviews before, however, upon our arrival the food was good but not great. This time we were more than pleasantly surprised.
It was on our recent...
  As we tour Florida in search of the fun and unique, we discovered that it did not necessarily involve riding a couple of hours in the car (not that that's a bad thing). We recently went just across the border to Polk County and visited Bok Tower Gardens for a "pizzatastic" Fresh Bites presentation. It was the second...
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.
The Motel
To our delight, Gulf Shores Beach Resort actually boasts dual waterfronts. There is a private beach along the Gulf of Mexico and a...
 Generally when we travel, Mrs Funmeister and I like to explore new things. And that includes places to stay.  However, we have started to find locations in some of our favorite spots that have become go-to options. That is, places we have found that we can count on.

We were in Cape Coral recently and stumbled upon the Wicked Dolphin Distillery. This is not the first distillery we have visited in Florida. We have taken a tour through the St. Augustine Distillery and also have visited Timber Creek in the Panhandle and the fledgling Sugar Sand Distillery near Lake Placid.
It's not easy...
It's been months in the making. Now, like a butterfly, Seven-The Sebring Raceway Hotel has emerged just in time for Race Week. The place was painted Sebring Blue earlier this year. The entrance sign now beckons visitors.
The hotel was christened just in time for the beginning of Race Month at the world famous...
  Sebring International Raceway Press Officer Ken Breslauer has released a new book that is a must for anyone who enjoys the Sunshine State and the tourists who come here.
 "Florida Roadside Attraction History" in fact is a complete guide to the Florida tourist attractions before Disney and offers a real insight to the wide array of ideas that...
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."...
On a recent trip to Anna Maria Island we were looking for a good breakfast. Everyone pointed us to Ginny & Jane E's. Our stop there vaulted it into the next round for our top Florida breakfast locations.
Officially, it's known as Ginny & Jane E's at the Old IGA Store. The cafe,...
