So we heard about ice cream at the Milking R Dairy in Okeechobee. They not only have a varied selection of flavors, they have a wonderful layout. It can be a great experience for young and old alike. Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky. Besides, July is Ice Cream Month, so we...
It had been nearly six decades since I had been to Weeki Wachee Springs to see the mermaids. So when we saw that they were having a special Christmas presentation that made up our minds for a return visit.

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...
The city of Arcadia has positioned itself as center for antiques in Florida. We found a lot of quaint little shops there, but the Bizarre Bazaar is an antique store with an unusual atmosphere. We discovered it on the second floor of the Arcadia Opera house.

Whether or not you have a gun - or are a shooter - the Center Mass Gun Range in Okeechobee may be the best shooting range in Florida. And we recommend it for young and old alike.

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.

We’re told that “Florida’s Forgotten Coast” is billed as “the
last remaining stretch of unspoiled, pristine Gulf Coast beaches that
haven’t been overrun by high rises and strip malls.” To us, it’s one of
the more interesting Coasts of Florida.
Florida’s Forgotten Coast encompasses that small notch of

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...
