We were sitting around planning our next adventure when we started to consider what we love about Florida. And the answer is - quite a lot. At first we tried to prioritize our list. But that turned out to be a fool's errand. So instead, we thought we'd present them here in no particular order.

This is the start of Tourism Week in Florida. It is also the first time in two months the restaurants have been open for sit down dining. We decided to celebrate both occasions with a trip to Winter Haven to enjoy Bistro Pizza.

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,...
We have several go-to places when we want to dine in Sarasota. One place we always know we can get a great lunch is at Newk's Eatery. Nestled in University Park - it's one of only three in the Sunshine State. The others are in Clearwater and Palm Beach Gardens respectively.

We have written about the Wild Turkey Tavern in the past. It is one of the Eight Restaurants on Florida's Ridge You Owe It to Yourself to Try. Since that time, we found how The Wild Turkey transformed from a local hangout to a true experience of country dining and entertainment.

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.
