Most Polk County residents know Bartow as the county seat. Some travelers may think that Bartow is the section of town where Florida Highway 60 and US 98 come together.

When last we visited Anna Maria Island, we were at Bradenton Beach and found Joe's Eats & Sweets. It's an absolute destination location and Joe's is as much fun on the inside as it is on the outside.
They are quick to tell you at Joe's they make all their ice cream...
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.
When we first arrived at the Sweet Sage, we...

When you first arrive, you'll note the area is dotted by many different kinds of aircraft. Jets,...
When visiting Anna Maria Island there are certain places you need to visit. Of course there's shopping on Pine Avenue, a meal at Ginny & Jane E's and the iconic Rod & Reel Pier.
We found it highly recommended by locals and reviewers on TripAdvisor alike. It is the essence of AMI - 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...
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
