Barred Owl
We were strolling along the Palm Island Park in Mount Dora when we spotted this majestic barred owl. It was the first owl we had ever seen out here. An amazing experience!
Grandfather Mountain
One of my all-time favorite places, Grandfather Mountain is a must-see attraction if you are anywhere near Linville, North Carolina. Don’t miss it!
Cascades Trail
We hiked the Cascades Trail to Cascade Falls (aka The Cascades) at E.B. Jeffress Park along the Blue Ridge Parkway (MP 271.9). Very scenic!
Return to Koreshan State Park
Learn a fascinating slice of Florida history at Koreshan State Park in Estero. Highly recommended!
Colin Hay
We saw Colin Hay perform at Plaza Live in Orlando last weekend. Great show! He’s an awesome performer and storyteller. Highly recommended!
Caladesi Island State Park
We finally made it to Caladesi Island State Park in Dunedin last weekend and it was definitely worth the trip! To reach the island, you need to take a quick ferry ride ($16 per person) from Honeymoon Island State Park. We had an amazing stretch of white-sand beach all to ourselves, great shelling and even saw five gopher tortoises. Great time!
Hidden Treasure
Looking for a laid-back eatery in Port Orange? Check out Hidden Treasure Tiki Bar & Grill! Great food, drinks, service and views! Just down the road from Spruce Creek Park. Don’t miss it!
