We'd always heard about the St John's River, but never visited. This past weekend changed all that.
Earlier we blogged about our trip to Deland. That was a great time and we vowed to return. As we made good on our pledge it led us to the St John's River, It was one of the most...
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...
We can hear it now - "Where's Wabasso?" Nestled between Sebastian and Vero Beach along the fabled Treasure Coast is the hamlet of Wabasso. Although it seems small as you drive through the single stoplight at the intersection of US Highway 1 and State Road 510, the area considered Wabasso covers quite a bit of territory...
When in Punta Gorda, we found that a stop by Fishermen's Village is a must. In short, it's a resort, marina, shopping area and entertainment complex rolled into one.
We have visited Punta Gorda in the past, but only have blogged about their wonderful historic section. That being said, this is a part of the...
Over the course of our travels, we've found the beaches of the Suncoast are difficult to beat. From Fort Myers to Sarasota there's a nearly continuous stretch of white sand and blue water. The beaches are teeming with shells, sharks teeth, fun and sun.
On a recent trip, we decided to work our way...

But until our last visit, we never had gone out on the famous Cocoa Beach Pier. Locals had recommended it both for the...
August is Motor Sports Awareness Month and the Sebring International Raceway already is celebrating. The Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring has been voted the best motorsports event in North America.
That designation comes from fans voting in the USA Today's '10best' poll. It is a month-long election that pits 20 top racing events against each...
On our way home from a trip up north, we were looking to find somewhere to explore and a wonderful restaurant at which to dine. We saw the sign for the DeLand Historic District. Subsequently, Mrs. Funmeister found the Santorini Restaurant home of Greek cuisine.
This was the start of a great adventure

When in search of a sweet place to shop and dine in Florida, Historic Cocoa Village is as good as any we have visited. To date, our stops have included historic downtown areas in the Sunshine State such as Melbourne, Bartow and Englewood. Each is wonderful in its own special way.
Located along...
Mosquito County Tours is a business that is going places. We blogged in the past about Mandy Longo's creation when we first discovered it. Since that time we have tried to make a weekend where we could get together and try a tour for ourselves.
Earlier this month, the Moon was in the Seventh House...
