Labor Day Weekend at Universal Studios Orlando It was almost the Labor Day weekend, and we suddenly realized that we had no plans. How did that happen??? We were heading to Orlando for a friend’s baby gender reveal party (it’s a boy!), but we didn’t know what we were going to do for the rest […]
Tampa Zoo One thing that we like to usually do in a new city is go to the zoo. We love animals and enjoy watching them play and learning all about them. Since we didn’t have a big trip planned over the Memorial day weekend, we decided to do some short day trips instead and […]
Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney) For a fun day out with Allison and Pete, we checked out Disney Springs. Disney Springs is part of the Walt Disney World Resort. But, it doesn’t have all the rides and attractions like the parks such as Magic Kingdom. Instead, street entertainment, restaurants, and stores fill Disney Springs’ streets. Exploring […]
While lazing in our new hammock the other day, Nisheet and I decided that we weren’t taking enough advantage of living in Florida. This state offers beaucoup activities year round, and if we don’t get off our behinds soon, we will never see it all! First on our list of adventures this summer was Cocoa […]
The Florida Botanical Gardens Nisheet and I had some guests in town for the weekend, and we wanted to show them that Florida has more to offer than just beaches and amusement parks. After looking at a couple options, we ended up taking them to the Pinellas County Florida Botanical Gardens. We had previously been to […]
Having lived in the midwest for more than a decade, we have been very lucky to have camped at some of the most beautiful places. Just to name a few, we have camped at Sleeping Bear Dunes MI, Pictured Rocks MI, and Peninsula State Park WI. While all these spots provided excellent camping opportunities, none […]
Crystal River: Ashley’s dad visited Tampa recently and, since it’s a tradition for whenever he visits, we went kayaking! When he was over for Thanksgiving last year, he brought 2 of his boats and was kind enough to leave one of them here for us to enjoy over the winter. And enjoy it we did! So much so that […]
MacDill Air Show I have to admit, when Nisheet brought up going to the MacDill Air Show over the weekend, I was kind of bored with the idea. I’ve been to air shows before. Great airshows. And frankly, I’ve grown tired of them. They all seem to be the same. Planes fly over. An announcer […]
Busch Gardens We had some guests visiting us over the weekend from Michigan, so we thought we’d use it as an opportunity to visit Busch Gardens Tampa. We were a bit anxious about the crowds as it is the spring break time of year, so we tried our best to get to the Busch Gardens when it […]
Florida Road Trip As the wise ones like to say, “all good things must come to an end” and so was the case with our great Florida road trip. It was Christmas Eve, and Ashley was insisting we come back to Tampa Bay to celebrate the holidays with her. We decided to make the most […]
