I’ve been wanted to do some sort of organized bike ride for some time now, but I’ve been scared. Scared that my hybrid bike isn’t good enough to keep up with the pack, scared that I am not in shape enough to ride that long of a distance, worried about rain, what do I wear? …
I’m afraid of bridges. Especially drawbridges – if you are on a road, and it’s designed to actually open at some point, it’s not really a road and I’m not interested in being on it. But really bridges in general freak me out. I mean, freak.me.out. I like to think it all started when I…
Legoland Florida is home to a new water park. It’s definitely fun and wet and the kids will love it. Let me preface this by saying, we are frequent visitors of Disney water parks. And Legoland is no Disney. It’s not bad, but different, so you have to go with that thought in mind. First…
I expected to see legos at Legoland – obviously. But I guess I didn’t really expect the attention to detail that I saw. Everywhere you looked, legos.

As fireworks light the sky this Independence Day, I get frustrated. Since I live in the land of Disney, I get to see fireworks on demand. And while I love the patriotic events – I can’t help to ask myself …why are there no Mickey Mouse fireworks?? I mean – it’s three circles! They can…
It’s vacation time! We are lucky enough to travel each year to Marco Island. If you like the beach, hot temperatures, boating and shelling, this is the perfect place. There are also a number of great little beach bars – so it’s the perfect family destination! There are a number of other options- but most…
A short spring break weekend brought us to Clearwater Beach. I haven’t been in ages…. It’s part of our effort to hit all the beaches in Florida – because see, it’s important to have a goal. Of all the beaches I’ve been to – can’t say I’m a big fan of Clearwater. But, I…
