This park is SUPER difficult to get a reservation for, especially during the winter. We had to book 11 months to the second that the reservations opened on the website and the first day we couldn’t even get one. We both had to sit with our computers hitting refresh constantly in order to get the reservation to go through. It’s worth the...
Our campground reservation was partially canceled down in the Keys over Christmas and New Years. So, we decided to go to Orlando instead and surprise Aaron’s daughter with tickets to Universal Studios for Christmas. We are not fans of Christmas in general, specifically the consumerism of the whole holiday, so we opted for an “experience” based...
We were originally supposed to be at Bahia Honda State Park for the week, but because of the damage from Hurricane Irma, they had canceled the first part of our reservation. Scrambling to find something in Florida during the winter months, we were fortunate enough to come across Ponderosa RV Park in Kissimmee, Florida. The spaces themselves aren’t much to...
After staying at one of our favorite campgrounds, Fort De Soto County Park, we moved on to Estero, FL and stayed at Koreshan State Park. The campsite isn’t nearly as big as what we previously had, but they are nice and secluded with brush lining the edges of each site. Backing in was a bit tight as there are trees and shrubs lining the edge of the...
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...
We had been looking for ways that we could ethically swim with manatees in Crystal River, Florida, but after a lot of research, we came to the conclusion that you really can’t ethically swim with them if you take a tour boat. So instead, we decided we would kayak and hope that we would just come across them on our own. Our friends the Roamin’...
We were heading to St. Petersburg for Aaron’s yearly company party and we spent two weeks in the St. Petersburg, Florida area. When we pulled up Happy Cow, it looked like there were a couple all vegan options and quite a few “vegan-friendly” options. Without further adieu, here are 4 restaurants you should try and 1 you can skip! Pure Kitchen...
