We have written about DeLand in the past. Recently, we found a little community nestled inside their Historic downtown. Dubbed "Artisan Alley," it is dotted with interesting shops, restaurants and clubs that are in a three block area just off the beaten Path.
Finding it is Half the Fun
It really is pretty...
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...
Anyone who follows us, knows we have stayed in many hotel rooms, but recently we had the opportunity to enjoy a condo vacation - at beautiful Anna Maria Island no less. Sandy Hampton contacted us and offered to let us try her condo at the Bradenton Beach Club.
Unit 226 was handled by Seabreeze Vacations....
When it comes to soft serve ice cream, Surf's Up Ice Cream Shack in Haines City might be one of the best kept secrets in central Florida. It's a great location for soft serve and other chilled treats. Plus it's a destination point for fun (especially if you have kids).
Again, we were tipped to...
We have written in the past about the Wild Turkey Tavern in Avon Park. Recently we learned that they are serving breakfast. They're only available on the weekend, which fit our schedule. So, we decided to drop by and give it a shot.
Our Breakfast
The restaurant only recently added the breakfast option. They start at...
It appears to us that the onset of the Covid-19 in Florida has rekindled the Sunshine State's love affair with the automobile. Everywhere you look you see drive-in restaurants and take out. Drive-in theaters are enjoying a renaissance. Heck we even see drive-in churches popping up.
The governor has closed all the restaurants and bars to...
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...
We stumbled on The Mango Bistro quite by accident and it was a lucky find. On Dearborn Street in Englewood, it is at the gateway to the little downtown area.
When we found it, we had been in search of a farmer's market which apparently ended in May. The reviews we saw in TripAdvisor enticed...
Recently we visited Maderia Beach and had the opportunity to spend a day at John's Pass Village & Boardwalk. We discovered what many have known for years. This place is a great compendium of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.
In all, we counted more than 100 different shops, services and experiences at this...
In Fort Myers, The Love Boat is a quick way of taking a cruise back in time to an old fashioned ice cream shop. We had seen this place on TripAdvisor and had wanted to stop during several visits to the area. However, we just did not have the opportunity.
For a while, The Love...
