We have visited Melbourne twice. The first time was on a whim when we decided the Space Coast was calling our name. On that foray, we discovered Eau Gallie - much to our delight.
The second time, we went to attend an Easter Sunrise service at Hightower Beach. We found the perfect one put on...
Each time we visit DeLand we find some new and really fun places. This time it was a cool little restaurant called Dick & Jane's. Like many of the fun and funky places The Lord sets across our path, this is more than an eatery, it's also an artsy curio shop with a great selection of...
We were headed for Made in the Shade Ice Cream and discovered an Englewood restaurant that's is a whole lot of fun. The Country Hound Cafe. It's a mom & pop operation that's as good as any and better than most.
Tucked in the corner of the Palm Plaza off McCall Road - it's...
It has been there on South Orange Avenue in Sarasota for the past seven years - but this was our first time dining at Fresh Start. I must tell you it's a hidden gem.
We love Sarasota and generally go for the Saturday farmer's market. But there's also the Museum of Whimsey, The Ringling Museum,...

In the past, we had seen numerous posts about the charming fishing village of Cortez. So when we went to the Gulf coast recently, we decided to make a stop there and have a look around.
According to the latest census, there are fewer than 5,000 people in this sleepy little village. That appears...
For all the years we have lived in Florida we never really knew much about Eau Gallie. We were aware that it was a town someplace but never knew exactly where it was. We recently found out when we went to Melbourne and attended their First Friday celebration.
Eau Gallie in fact...
