During our annual Camera Club field trip, we visited the charming town of Micanopy. This town is AMAZING. Historic EVERYTHING. Micanopy was also used to film a couple of movies. When driving into Micanopy, I couldn’t help but gasp at all of the beautiful historic houses and the little downtown is full of old brick […]
During phase two of our spring break vacation we visited Cocoa Beach (for phase one check out these posts: Central FL Zoo, Orlando Eye, Sea Life Aquarium, Crayola World). Our main destination was Kennedy Space Center but we stayed on Cocoa Beach since it was so close. We weren’t able to spend a lot of […]
My camera club took a trip to the Sweetwater Wildlife Park in Gainesville. I hadn’t researched the part at all prior to the trip and I was pleasantly surprised. The park is natural water treatment facility. It sounds a little crude but it’s more like a man made wetland area. We arrived in time for […]
The primary place we wanted to visit during spring break this year was Kennedy Space Center. This is a pretty famous Florida landmark and we definitely wanted to see it. Isabella is really into science so this was right up her ally. We spent most of the day at the space center. When we first […]
On our 2nd day in Orlando, my In-Laws headed back to Ft Lauderdale and Josh headed up to MN so the girls and I were on our own to visit Crayola World. Crayola World is located in the large Florida Mall (which contains other favorites like The American Girls Store and Build a Bear, both […]
The Orlando Eye is located in the iDrive360 complex. This “entertainment hub” also includes the SeaLife Aquarium and Madame Toussaud’s Wax Museum. We decided to buy a combo ticket and did the aquarium with the Eye. The Aquarium was packed. I have to be honest, it wasn’t my favorite aquarium that I’ve been to (that […]
On an earlier trip to Orlando last year, we stayed in a hotel by the Orlando Eye. At the time I had no idea what it was, but it looked pretty cool. A huge ferris wheel in the middle of town! So on this trip I wanted to check it out. At first we didn’t […]
At the end of February, we made a trip to the Jacksonville Zoo with a friend of mine from MN. Our kids are both similar aged and we have very similar backgrounds so it was fun to be able to spend some time together. This was the first time our kids have met and they […]
Growing up in the Midwest, I had never been exposed to civil war re-enactments. This was definitely something I wanted to experience while living in the South. The Battle of Olustee is re-enacted every year in mid-February at the Olustee Battlefield State Park. It was really interesting to see all of the vendors and re-enactment […]
We had some visitors in early January. Josh’s brother Nate and his wife Megan (yes, another Megan Warmbold!) and their kiddos Jade, Thomas and Amara made a trip to Florida. Megan’s parents have a house in Arcadia so we went south with them to visit that area. We hit up Clearwater beach on the way […]
