We had read about Bob's Train. It is a restaurant in a railway car, tucked away in a Sarasota industrial park. I must admit, it was no small feat to find the place. We had been cautioned some GPS might not be able to find it - ours was one of them.
Those...
We’re told that “Florida’s Forgotten Coast” is billed as “the
last remaining stretch of unspoiled, pristine Gulf Coast beaches that
haven’t been overrun by high rises and strip malls.” To us, it’s one of
the more interesting Coasts of Florida.
Florida’s Forgotten Coast encompasses that small notch of
coastline...
If you like great food in a fun atmosphere Ford's Garage is a wonderful choice. We first found a location in Brandon back in September of 2017 while searching TripAdvisor. It was the outside that initially intrigued us.
Old Ford cars and trucks were parked about the building as exterior decor. My favorite part was...
We have visited many man-made places since we "stopped waiting for when." However, one venue we never really experienced is God's creation - Florida's great outdoors.
Recently we solved that with a visit to the Highlands Hammock State Park. Located just west of Sebring, Highlands Hammock is the first state park created by the Civilian...
January is Be Kind to Food Servers Month. So we thought we might take this opportunity to echo that thought. Those who follow us here at Florida Fun Travel, know we do a lot of eating on the road. We have dined when the place was crammed with snowbirds. We also have eaten at restaurants that...
Recently while at the Sebring Regional Airport, we decided to catch breakfast at the Runway Cafe. Yes, we have heard the stories of airport food. Obviously, those folks have never stopped at this quaint little place.
The Sebring Regional Airport might not be the largest in the Sunshine State, but certainly it is one of...
Deep in the heart of Hardee County lies Solomon's Castle. The complex of buildings is the dream of one man - Howard Sanford Solomon. There have been lots of blogs about this place. Some call it "odd" or "weird." However, we are here to tell you that those words do not begin to do justice to the...
When we started our review of the 12 Coasts of Florida, we began with The Emerald Coast. It stretches 100 miles from Pensacola to Panama City.
The Emerald Coast actually encompasses five different counties. These include; Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton and Bay counties. In the past, the coast has been known as...
Recently we blogged about our trip to Delray Beach and their Green market. The experience inspired us to go back to the Sarasota Farmers' Market for what we think is probably the best of its kind in the State of Florida. At 40-years old, it certainly is one of the longest-lived in the Sunshine State.

Those who follow us know we like new dining experiences. When we saw the Flashback Diner in Boca Raton, we expected to find the standard white-tile-and-chrome burger joint with 1950's music grinding away in the background.
Boy, were we wrong.
Walking up to the place was our first clue. There was stylish...
