 As we travel to more places and have more fun in Florida, Mrs Funmeister and I have learned that minor league sports activities actually can be as much or more fun than their major league counterparts. And those who follow us, know we like fun at frugal prices.

  While we realize that not everyone who reads Florida Fun Travel might be Christian, we are - and unashamedly so. That is why we pray before, during and after our trips.
  For instance, many times we pray that The Lord will direct our path and take us to the right place at the right time. We pray He...
Wewahitchka, Florida. Have you ever heard of this town? Can you even pronounce it? Mrs. Funmeister and I decided to stop waiting for "when." So we began looking for places and things to enjoy "now." That, despite a small budget and a limited amount of time.One of our initial forays has been to Florida's Tupelo Honey Festival.
It's a Tradition

It appears the experience you get when you visit the Village of the Arts in Bradenton depends on when you go. We recently visited Cortez and decided to take in a side trip to VOTA as it's called. It was a Friday afternoon about 2:00. It was plenty of time, we thought, for even artists to be...
  There is a new trend among foodies called Farm to Fork or Farm to Table. In fact, there already are several restaurants in Florida capitalizing on this movement. There's Florida Fields to Forks in Malabar, Farm to Fork Meals in Oakland Park and Farm to Fork Fresh Market in Fort Pierce to name a few.
  The movement promotes...
As those who follow us have seen, one of our favorite fun travel destinations has become Florida minor league baseball games, After visiting several contests involving the Florida FireFrogs in Osceola, we decided to take a trip over to Jupiter and see the Hammerheads play.

Recently we had a chance to get back to Siesta Key. In the past it was voted America's #1 Beach.
There, we enjoyed our second stay at a little retro place called Captiva. It's one of a group of lodging facilities on Sara Sea Circle, The facility has the feel of a 1960's-style motel...
As you may, or may not, know - September is Bourbon Heritage month - and there's still time to celebrate. When it comes to Bourbon whiskey the Sunshine State offers you a lot of options. We have had the opportunity to visit some of these locations and they are fun as well as producing a great product.

September is Honey Month. Florida has a rich history in honey. And if you have visited the Sunshine State, you've probably had a taste of the fabled Orange Blossom Honey. But have you ever tried Sea Grape honey? There's also Mangrove, Palmetto, Gallberry and even Brazillian Pepper honey.
Each has its own unique flavor.

 When you say the word Vidalia onions, only one thing comes to mind - sweet onions. They only are available from a small area in southeastern Georgia and only during a certain time of the year.
   That time is now. We don't leave Florida often, but this was one great exception.
