It’s no secret that quality restaurants in Ocoee are few and far between. That’s why That One Spot is such a diamond in the rough! I recommend the salmon burger with fries. Check it out!

Central Florida Boardwalks
During the rainy season, I usually try to avoid the muddiest hiking trails and spend most of my time outdoors wandering on the scenic boardwalks. Here are my favorite Central Florida boardwalks:
- Black Hammock Wilderness Area
- Blue Spring State Park, Orange City
- Hickory Point Park, Tavares
- Lake Ashby Park, New Smyrna Beach
- Lake Lotus Park, Altamonte Springs
- Lighthouse Point Park, Ponce Inlet
- Oakland Nature Preserve, Oakland
- Palm Island Park, Mount Dora
- Tibet-Butler Preserve, Orlando
- Trimble Park, Mount Dora
- Trout Nature Center, Eustis
The Ultimate Prize
“Not too many years ago, it was access to information and movement that seemed our greatest luxury; nowadays it’s often freedom from information, the chance to sit still, that feels like the ultimate prize.” -Pico Iyer
All Over America
“All over America today people would be dragging themselves to work, stuck in traffic jams, wreathed in exhaust smoke. I was going for a walk in the woods.” – Bill Bryson
Exploring Palm Island
I never get tired of exploring Palm Island Park in Mount Dora. There’s always something new to see here!
Hiking Near Econ River
We had a nice hike at Econ River Wilderness Area this morning. A lot of the river is still overflowing onto parts of the trail, but we got as close as possible.
Ramble Out Yonder
“Ramble out yonder and explore the forests … sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious and awesome space.” – Edward Abbey
What I’m Reading …
“Every film I listed in this book, including those everyone agrees are trashy, has devoted fans; these are the films that are discussed in film courses, constantly referred to by critics, and/or championed by movie-lovers. They aren’t all masterpieces – indeed, you’ll think that many are terrible – but in some way all are interesting to someone who is genuinely interested in film.” – Danny Peary
Lake Apopka Sunset
After we enjoyed a nice dinner at Winter Garden Pizza Company in downtown Winter Garden last night, we headed over to Newton Park and were fortunate to catch a scenic sunset over Lake Apopka.
