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...
Our recent trip to Indian Rocks Beach showed us that IRB makes for a great getaway on the Florida Gulf Coast. Like our opportunity to stay at a condo at Anna Maria Island, this also was a condo experience.

Our stay at the Da Vinci at Indian Rocks Beach cemented our opinion that...
When we vacation we go to a lot of places that have funky and fun themes, but the food does not live up to the atmosphere. However, the Island Cow on Sanibel Island is an absolute exception.
Sanibel is one of the Gulf coast communities that is just chocked full of great places. On...
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.

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 discovered Martin's Country Market as we were cruising on State Road 17 down to Arcadia. My wife was doing an internet search for a lunch location and found their listing.
"Hey, this place looks interesting," she said. And with that we were off. We entered of the address into our GPS system and headed there....
So we received a call from my wife's sister asking us if we wanted to meet them in Cocoa Beach. She and her husband were spending a week there and would we like to meet them there?
Did we ever. We've been to Cocoa Beach before.

Cocoa Beach is...
A real vacation on the Space Coast can be had without breaking the bank and Cocoa Beach is a great place to start. Mrs. Funmeister and I like to find the unique, We've discovered a "well kept secret." It's The Beach Place Guest Houses.
