We stayed at Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake County Park, near Orlando, for a short week. We were easily able to check in and backed into our site without problems. We had a site that was backed up to the lake, but there was a fence separating the lake and the campground so we couldn’t just walk out directly to it. The sites themselves are very spacious and...
We ate at Thai Thani in Orlando Florida three times (twice in the restaurant and once with takeout) because it was so good! When you walk inside, there are lots of very intricate ornate decorations, which gives the restaurant a really authentic feel- or a touristy feel, which is probably more accurate since it’s right near all the theme parks. We must have come...
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...
Sunshine Travel RV Resort in Vero Beach, Florida was a little bit pricier than what we try to spend but comes jam-packed with a ton of amenities. We had heard some potential horror stories about the Thousand Trails program so we went into this with some hesitation. After staying there, we can say that we didn’t experience any of the negativity that...
One of the things we were looking forward to the most about Everglades National Park in Florida, was the probability of seeing alligators! 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’ve really enjoyed...
Biscayne National Park in Florida was the 11th park that we visited on our travels and this one was a bit different from the others. Instead of being thousands of acres of forest, Biscayne is 95% under water. This limits the number of activities that you can do inside the park. We wanted to get on a boat and head out to the reefs to do some...
After spending 6 days in the Florida Keys, we knew that unless there was a tiki bar involved, we were going to be stepping back a bit in terms of quality. Well, there actually IS a tiki bar on site at Southern Comfort RV Resort which made us laugh when we pulled in. Florida City doesn’t have the best of reputations when it comes to crime and there are...
To say we have been looking forward to visiting our tenth national park would be a massive understatement. 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...
