So, now that 2017 is over and My Year of Adventure is over – now what?! I discovered throughout last year that I really enjoyed having a “series” to write on the blog. So, I thought long and hard about what would be a good series for 2018. What I decided, and I’m super excited…
For the year of 2017, I have challenged myself to a Year of Adventure! While I’m certainly not jetting off on adventures every week, I am trying to get out and about locally more. This week I went to one of my favorite local spots ~ Blue Springs State Park. We usually go a little…
Last week the Hubby and I took a day off together and spent the day at Kennedy Space Center. Not that we’re nerds or anything, but this is how we celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary, lol. I had been to KSC with school field trips (both as a kid and an adult chaperone). But, going…
If you happen to be on the West Coast of Florida, I highly recommend a trip to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. What was once the home of John and Mable Ringling is now the greatest museum on the Gulf Coast! Your entrance fee includes: The Grounds, The Museum of Art, the Ringling Circus Museum…
Want to try something different this weekend? If you are anywhere in the Central Florida area, I highly recommend a Day Trip to visit Tarpon Springs, Florida!

This past week I decided to be a Hometown Tourist in my hometown of DeLand, Florida! So, let me introduce you to my hometown – DeLand, Florida. First settled in the mid-1800’s, DeLand was originally called Persimmon Hollow. The name was changed in 1876 in honor of Henry A DeLand for all he had done…
For all my fellow Jane Austen fans out there, I’m thinking the ultimate bucket list item would be to go on a Jane Austen vacation. Now, whether you are one to go all-in for a Jane Austen experience type of vacation, or maybe a Jane Austen tour, either way embracing a Jane Austen themed vacation…
Just 20 minutes from Orlando is an easy Day Trip to Christmas. Christmas, Florida that is 🙂 Originally founded in 1837, it was named Fort Christmas (for the fort that was built). Then, in 1892, the “fort” was dropped and the post office was opened. I went expecting a cute, small town, but my experience was…
