  • We Eat A Lot of Wisconsin Ice Cream

    We Eat A Lot of Wisconsin Ice Cream

    Wisconsin, the land of cheese. To make the cheese, a great deal of milk is produced. What other tasty treat requires milk? Ice cream. I could not visit “America’s Dairyland” and skip indulging in Wisconsin Ice Cream.  Our Wisconsin Ice Cream adventure, encompasses shops located in Eau Claire, County.  Residing in the Philadelphia area, I…

    Islamorada-Road Trip-Florida

    People often zoom through the Florida Keys, on their way to Key West, but the non-Key West Keys, have a lot to explore. Since we decide to save Key West for a future trip, we have plenty of time to devote a day to an Islamorada-Road Trip.  Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory Does key…

  • Visiting Florida Keys-State Parks

    Visiting Florida Keys-State Parks

    While some areas of the Florida Keys, feel commercial and crowded, there are lovely pockets of nature to explore at the Florida Keys-State Parks. Being a shorter trip, we are only able to adventure in two of the Florida Keys-State Parks, but I look forward to a return to visit more.  John Pennecamp Coral Reef…

  • “Lounging” Around Disney-Round 4

    “Lounging” Around Disney-Round 4

     Lounging Around Disney-Round 4 was full of fun and friends.  Boathouse-Disney Springs I’m thrilled as my friend Len voices his desire to visit the bar at The Boathouse. Like me, he wishes to behold the famous Duck Duck Razz. If you make a picture-worthy drink, I’m there.   Blue Curacao, Stoli Razz, Peach Schnapps, lemon juice…

  • Disney Mini-Golf vs. Universal Mini-Golf

    Disney Mini-Golf vs. Universal Mini-Golf

    As recurring, theme park visitors, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way. One essential planning choice, break up high- energy park days, with one or two mellow, non-park, days. Some people use this day to lounge by the pool, see other resorts, or in our case, play miniature golf. But which theme park…

  • Private Disney Fireworks Cruise

    Private Disney Fireworks Cruise

    The pontoon bobs in the water, as the music swells. Bright, vivid colors, burst in the air. I have a moment of disbelief, during our Private Disney Fireworks Cruise. Am I really here?   I watched Disney movies as a kid, but I wasn’t really a Disney kid-fan. My favorite character as a child, was Lady…

  • Little Havana Food Tour-Miami

    Little Havana Food Tour-Miami

    As we stroll through the streets, during our Little Havana Food Tour. I take-in this new-to-me neighborhood. Though we’re still in the United States, only four hours from the bustling land of theme parks, the food, drinks, and streets, of Little Havana, are a learning opportunity.  One of my favorite things to do, when visiting…

  • Visiting Wynwood-Miami

    Visiting Wynwood-Miami

    Art is captivating. It’s fascinating that a living being formulates a dream in their mind, then conveys that dream to others, through pictures, through sculpture, through written/spoken words, through food, movement, or sound. Art stirs spirit. This is why visiting Wynwood-Miami is encouraged.  Full disclosure, we visit Wynwood-Miami first, for the ice cream. Salt &…
