So we heard about ice cream at the Milking R Dairy in Okeechobee. They not only have a varied selection of flavors, they have a wonderful layout. It can be a great experience for young and old alike. Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky. Besides, July is Ice Cream Month, so we...
When it comes to the best Greek food in Florida - you would have to go a bit to top the Krazy Greek. Our first review of the Krazy Greek (now in Winter Haven) was back in 2018. We loved it then and we love it now.
Since that time we have visited a lot...
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.

We always like to find new experiences and Nokomo's Sunset Hut in Nokomis was a very pleasant surprise. Actually, we discovered this place during our stay at the Bentley Botique Hotel. We were looking for a late night snack in the area and this was the only place that still was open at the time.

July is Ice Cream Month, so we decided to celebrate with a trip to the Venice Avenue Creamery in beautiful downtown Venice. Formerly known as Bresler's, this was a great find. As their sign says, "It's the same folks with a different name."
They told us that they have been serving up premium hand-dipped ice...
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."...
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.

When it comes to Florida hotels with a view, we have come across six that have provided wonderful stays for us.
The Prestige Hotel
The first would be our latest visit. The Prestige Hotel at Vero Beach had a wonderful view of the grounds, to the beach and all the way to the Atlantic. From our balcony we could see the...
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...
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...
