Full disclosure: The opinions expressed here are ours, however, we were contacted by Sweet Pete’s and offered samples of their Easter candy and a free lollipop making class. We were first contacted through Facebook by Sweet Pete’s because they wanted to send us some samples of their new vegan Easter candy. Hello, OF COURSE, we want to try your candy! It...
The Devil’s Den Prehistoric Spring in Williston, Florida, is one of those places that looks otherworldly when you see photos of it. Because we were staying about 45 minutes away at Silver Springs State Park, we were able to make the drive up to do some snorkeling. On the day we ventured up there, it was POURING rain! We hoped that wouldn’t matter since we...
Aaron used to go to renaissance fairs a lot when he was younger, but he hadn’t been to one in well over 10 years. Hayden had never actually been to one, so when our friends Pati and Saydi said they were planning on attending the Brevard Renaissance Fair in Melbourne Beach, Florida, we knew that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity! Right out of the...

While we were focused mainly on seeing alligators, we didn’t realize how many bird species were also in the area. In fact, 360 different species of birds can be found in the Everglades.

We wanted to get on a boat and head out to the reefs to do some...

Everything we’d been reading about Dry Tortugas National Park was that it was going to be absolutely magical. From having to take a ferry there, to being on a remote island, snorkeling in the crystal blue waters, and enjoying the sun on our...
Since we were staying in between Fort Myers and Naples, we were going to try and hit up both locations in the short time we had. We definitely took advantage of the beaches and the warm weather by relaxing quite a bit, but we also wanted to get out and explore a few different things. Not only that, but our friends were staying just south of Naples so we...
We specifically came to St. Petersburg, Florida because Aaron’s company was having their annual party there, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t take some time to explore! Don’t miss our blog about our food-related activities! Museum of Fine Arts This was one of the excursions that Aaron got to choose from for his company party and he...
