We had the opportunity recently to run up to Lake Mirror Park in Lakeland. Those who follow us know we like to explore - and this became an unexpected adventure. We found Lake Mirror Park was a whole lot more than we had anticipated.
Our main objective had been lunch, but when we got there,...
As many of you know, Mrs Funmeister is a vegetabletarian. Naturally, this then figures in when we pick restaurants. On our trip to Venice, we discovered The Cafe Evergreen. Based on rave reviews on TripAdvisor we decided to try it.
The restaurant actually is located in Nokomis, inside a former post office. With both...
We have seen the Visit Central Florida posts on our Facebook feed for years. Recently we had a chance to visit the actual Visit Central Florida Visitor's Center itself. We discovered the rustic brown visitor information center just off Highway 27 in Davenport.
Located half way between Tampa and Orlando off I-4, it's a handy...
When it comes to a true ice cream experience in Central Florida, our choice is Frostbite Ice Cream in the little hamlet of Frostproof. It's nestled along Highway 27A on the edge of town.
The first thing we noticed was in addition to the dine-in the place also does a great drive-thru business.

Those who follow us here at Florida Fun Travel know we like wonderful restaurants with fun atmospheres and the Sweet Sage Cafe & Boutique fills the bill. It's located in North Reddington Beach on Florida's west coast. We discovered it on our way to visit John's Pass.
When we first arrived at the Sweet Sage, we...
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...
 As the summer ends the annual baking of central Florida, action is the word at Sebring International Raceway. But all the activity won't be on the track.
 Oh, there will be plenty of cars on the circuit over the next 120 days or so. However, officials at SIR have at least one festival for those who just want...
As things begin to get back in gear, many people want to know how to tell which Florida beaches are open. To that end, we have found there are several ways to check - especially if you know where you are headed.
Over the course of time, we have witnessed several communities that had opened,...
When it comes to a good breakfast in Vero Beach, Mrs. Mac's Fillin' Station is difficult to beat. We had our first exposure to Mrs Mac's during our initial Vero Beach getaway. but we didn't actually eat there. Instead, because restaurants had been shut down due to the Coronavirus situation, we had a to-go meal.

We spent some time in a condo at beautiful Anna Maria Island recently. While we were there, we discovered the Pine Avenue shopping experience. This little street has one of the most interesting and diverse gathering of shops we have seen in our travels.
From The Studio At Gulf & Pine to The Anna Maria...
