When we first moved down here and I looked up "things to do in Orlando" in google I always got the same results - Disney, Universal, Gatorland, Sea World. There is so much more to do and see in Florida that is "Unknown" to those who visit and to even those that live here. I wanted to help others find things to do with their families so that they can create memories that they could look back on for years to come.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger85125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125018085821627283.post-41810321944046614972016-01-24T12:18:00.000-05:002016-01-24T12:18:02.006-05:00Madam Tussauds Wax Attraction - Orlando, FL <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In addition to the eye there are 2 other attractions inside the facility. One of them is the Sea Life Aquarium and the other is Madam Tussauds wax museum. A friend of mine was able to get us into all 3 of the adventures and I thought they all are done very well. <br />

This year a new attraction hit the scene in Orlando and of course I wanted to try it out for the blog. The nice part about this attraction is that there are many things to do in the area, free parking, and you have many choices in things to do. The building that houses the Eye also has a Sea Life Aquarium and Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum. You can buy any of these experiences individually or save as you combine them. Then outside the area there are many restaurants/museums/arcades/ to explore and then there is even more surrounding the landing. <br />
<br />
The Eye is a 400 foot observation wheel. It has roughly 30 capsules that rotate on the wheel. It takes about 20 minutes for the wheel to complete a rotation. There is seating in the middle of the capsule for those that are not as into the heights as others. From the middle of the capsule you are able to see out but unless you walk directly up on the glass you cannot really see down.<br />

A couple of girlfriends and I went to the Great Escape Room for one of our friends birthdays. We went to the Orlando location which the door to the place seemed to be hidden itself. Squished between a business and a bar you would have no idea it was there unless you were looking for the Sherlock Holmes flyers posted around. Once you are inside there is no cameras allowed so I do not have pictures of the actual event. <br />
<br />
However her is the breakdown - you and up to 10 people are locked in a room for 60 minutes and have to figure your way out using clues, riddles, rhymes. When we went there were 5 of us and then there was another group of 8. Talk about a new way to get to know someone, try to figure out off the wall riddles and be one of the groups that gets to say "I did it!" There are several different rooms to try so even if you come try it out you can always come back and solve the other room as well. <br />

Recently we decided to check out the Port Canaveral area as we heard there have been a lot of changes to the southern ports. Apparently they are really focused on building up the port area to attract more families to watch the ships. One of the nice things is that there are quite a few restaraunts right along the water that you can sit and have a nice lunch (or drink) at and check out the big ships and they sail for sea. <br />

Right up the road there is a new attraction called the Exploration Tower - it is a 7 story building that goes over the different things that make the port area special. It is extremely affordable and very educational. <br />

One day on a drive Duane and I came across a nice little area park called Ferndale Preserve. It is off County Road 455 where Clermont and Ferndale intersect. It had a really nice playground and covered picnic area and then had a really nice area to hike in with trails for both horses and people. <br />

The day that Duane and I ventured out to the Chinsegut Preserve and Homosassa Springs we took a little detour to check out the Yulee Sugar Mill. Where once an impressive sugar plantations stood today is just a few ruins, however the knowledge of the past is still present. If you are ever in this area of town this makes a nice stop off to walk around and check out.<br />

On our way to check out the Yulee Sugar Mill and Homosassa Springs state park we stopped off and looked at something that has been around the Brooksville area for many years, however most people do not know it even it exists. Currently you can take a picnic up to the area and have a nice lunch and look around but there is not much to really do here. However down the street there is the Chinsegut conservation center that is open on Friday and Saturdays. <br />

I decided awhile ago that I wanted to visit all of the state parks in Florida and I had heard that the Homosassa Springs State Park was unlike all of the other state parks as it actually had animals on display. After a day of looking at other places in the area Chinsegut Hill and the Yulee Sugar Mill we decided it was time. Only 5 minutes from the old sugar mill we arrived at the parking area for the state park. The parking is free and to the left of the street is a tram that will take you free of charge over to the Visitor Center. The right side of the road is the entrance. Upon entering there is a gift shop and café to explore. The prices for the exhibit is very reasonable $13 for adults and $5.00 children 6-12. Once you pay you walk through the doors and the adventure begins. The good thing is that it is laid out in a circle so you can begin to the right and not miss anything. They also have a boat ride that you can ride for free that tells about the area and the animals. It runs from open to an hour before closing. </div>

Recently my husband and I joined another couple for a date night. I have heard about this place from a few others and thought let's give it a try. The funny thing is that none of us have paint or do anything creative, but I thought how bad can it be and we should give it a try. I went on the Painting with a Twist's website and perused through the calendar to see what types of paintings were on the horizon. <br />
<br />
They have 2 different types of classes "singles" which means that everyone paints the same picture and "couples" where each of you paint a canvas that when put together forms a large cohesive painting. The cool thing is that the "couples" paintings can also stand on their own so you don't have to live together to take that class. Upon searching I found a couples class that had a beach scene that looked like it could be an easy task for a few artistic beginners.<br />

The class was about 3 hours long and the instructor was great. You get all of the paint, canvas and utensils to create your work of art as well as a smock to wear to cover your clothes. During your painting they have a bar that sells wine and beer to get you in the creative mindset. The 2 hour classes are $35/per person and the 3 hour are $45/per person. It seems a little pricey, but dinner can cost just about that much and you have nothing to hang out your walls to remind you about the experience at a later date.<br />

Recently I haven't had as much time to blog or travel as I would like so when someone told me that they had recently visited the Titanic experience on International drive and thought it was wonderful I figured I had to go.<br />
<br />
Before you start the exhibit you receive a boarding pass with the name of a person that was aboard the ship. At the end you get to see if your person was saved or died at sea. (PS I lived but my husband didnt make it) <br />

The exhibit was redesigned in January 2012 by the RMS Titanic inc. They have guided tours and prerecorded tours available. I suggest the guided tour as the guides are in character as one of the individuals who were upon the ship that fateful day. <br />
<br />
Upon entering you become a passenger and travel back in time to 100 years ago, where authentic
artifacts and interactive storytellers in period costume allow you to visit the
unforgettable sights, sounds, and emotions aboard the ship that night. The tour includes full scale room re-creations where you visit
<em>Titanic's</em> Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite, Boilers, Captain's
Bridge and Promenade Deck and the infamous glacier that caused the wreck. <br />

You can view more than 400 unique pieces of memorabilia and
100 artifacts recovered from the wreck site of <em>Titanic</em>- some of which
have recently completed conservation and are on display for the very first time.
Some of the pieces include a portion of the Ship's hull, the
Captain's wheel and personal belongings from <em>Titanic's</em> passengers and
crew.<br />
<br />
Trained actors in period costume portray famous
<em>Titanic</em> notables, sharing stories
of her passengers and crew during an hour-long guided journey. Upon the end of the exhibit there is an extensive Underwater Room,
displaying an 8-foot replica of <em>Titanic</em> as she appears on the bottom of
the Atlantic today,
including the second largest piece of <em>Titanic</em> ever recovered a 3 ton portion of the ship's hull. <br />
<br />
Between 1987 and 2004 the RMS Titanic Inc has recovered over 5,500 artifacts. <br />
<br />
We received the Florida resident special and our adventure for the day came to a little less than $40 - you can check online for coupons - <br />
<br />
I was completely impressed with the exhibit. I wasn't sure what to expect and I learned so much and it was so interesting to see the items made then and how they survived the wreck, and the ocean floor for so long. It is a truly heart-wrenching story to find out all of the errors that occurred that prevented those poor people from being rescued that night. Thank goodness the issues that arose have been since changed so that it won't happen again. For instance freighters and passenger shipped used different types of distress signals so no one knew they had an issue even though 2 ships were less than 2 miles away and could have easily made it to help. Or that flares used to be silver and white and the freight ships thought they were fireworks and not flares for help. <br />
<br />
If you have ever watched the movie or are interested in the Titanic I would suggest visiting the exhibit. The tour takes about an hour and then you are allowed to go back the beginning and take your time going back through.<br />
<br />
I didn't want to take tooo many pictures of the exhibit as I wanted to leave something to the imagination and let you explore the place for yourself. <br />

For the past couple of years I have been exploring the different state parks around the state of Florida and one really popped out as something different - Hontoon Island State Park. Why does is stand out? Well because it is the only state park in Florida that you have to take a boat or ferry to get to. <br />
<br />
This past weekend Duane and I decided that it was time to explore this island and see what it has to offer. It took us approximately an hour to get to the park from our house as we decided to take the more scenic route and stay away from the highway. <br />
<br />
Upon taking our turn to get to the road for the park we noticed a nice little restaurant on the water and decided to eat before we started hiking. Shady Oaks is a small little restaurant that can be accessed by land or by water using their docks. The food was very tasty and extremely reasonable.<br />

After lunch we meandered the rest of the way up the back road and finally arrived at our destination. This park has no entry fee and you will put up directly to the parking lot. There is an area to stand and that attracts the attention of the ferry guide. The ferry runs anytime anyone is standing on either bank. It is an electric, solar driven ferry and the guide tells you a little history of the area. <br />

Upon arriving at the island you are greeted by a concession area, information desk and museum that explains the flora, fauna and history of the island. There are picnic tables that are setup along the perimeter of the area so that you can enjoy a meal under the shade close to the St. Johns River. There are a few playground items for the kids to run and play on. <br />

Hontoon State Park is very rich with evidence of the Native American culture that lived in the area. A lot of the trails were very muddy as this has been an extremely rainy season, so we stayed in the more open, cleared areas. We will be going back in March when it is more dry to explore the entire island.<br />

Life has been crazily busy lately and I realized that I haven't done anything outside in a few months. I kept reading about the Mount Dora canal and how absolutely beautiful it was. I talked to a few of the ladies and we set out one Sunday morning. Most of the places that you can put your kayak in around that area are private or you have to own your own for the public launches. I called around and found that there was a place we could go and rent them from. Buzzard Beach Bar and Grille was located in Tavares and rents their kayaks for $10/hr per person - 2 hour minimum. Upon arriving at the place we parked and were given a brief description on the lakes and the areas. <br />

We started out on Lake Eustis and had to paddle to the right to make it to the canal that connects Lake Dora to Lake Eustis. Upon first arriving in the canal we had to be careful with the electric boats, but about a mile in we were able to take a right into a less traveled more peaceful canal. A blue heron was our guide for the day. He flew ahead of us pretty much the entire trip, always staying a few yards ahead of us. The canopy of trees was unbelievable and was so intense in some areas the temperature fell a good 10 to 15 degrees. Unfortunately, we did not see any gators as mating season just ended and most are with their babies and not normally visable.<br />

One day I was driving down International Drive and I drove past a sign CSI experience, so I turned the car into the parking lot to see what it was all about. I found out it was an interactive game created by students at Rice University that allows you to be a Las Vegas CSI detective. There are 3 cases to solve and you work through the whole process. I asked around and one of my girlfriends was really interested in going, so we went. They allow no photography inside - not even the lobby area. Upon entering you sign in and get a CSI detective vest and clipboard with your crime scene form. You are then ushered into a room where Gil Grissom discusses the importance of CSI and how they work with law enforcement to solve crimes. We then proceeded to our crime scene where you are told to draw all the important information onto the crime scene grid. Anything can be important!!!! Once done with the scene you go to your colored evidence table for comparison - did you see everything? Once you have verified that you know what evidence there is you move throughout the different areas to verify the evidence. For instance you check the tire tread, fingerprints, substances, etc. You walk through several of these areas and then meet the coroner for the information from the 3d autopsy. Once you have collected and examined the evidence you will need to go through and answer questions to determine who is the killer. Will you pick the right person? Did you find all the clues? Come out and try it today!!!!<br />

When I was a little girl, one of my fondest memories of a family vacation was when we went to Mammouth Caves in Kentucky. I was in awe of the huge rooms filled with dripping liquid. It was amazing to see that over time that dripping would form these beautiful sculptures that filled the entire space. I was hooked and have loved caves ever since. When I found out that Florida had caverns you could tour I couldnt wait. After patiently waiting, I finally was able to get sometime off to get away. We decided to do a mini vacation up in the panhandle area and knocked out both the Florida Caverns, but went to the Falling Waters state park as well (you can read all about that in another post). It was very funny when we passed the Central Time Zone and gained an hour on our many hour drive up there. <br />
<br />
The week before we had headed up the Chipola River had flooded and much of the caverns and the trails were underwater. The day we arrived was one of the first drier days and they decided to go ahead with the tours. I would definitely suggest if you go during rainy season to call ahead and make sure they are having the tours. <span class="baec5a81-e4d6-4674-97f3-e9220f0136c1" style="white-space: nowrap;">(850)482-1228</span> <br />
<br />
We paid the basic state fee parking fee $5.00 per vehicle and an extra monies for the tour. We were told we could walk around and then meet at the main entrance area around 9:30 for the tour. The trails were really neat and several turned into smaller caverns. Quite a bit of the land was still flooding from the river - but it made the view even more breathtaking. <br />

Once you have parked you will see a very large stone building. This has many displays discussing the flora and fauna of the state park. It was a great place to check out before the tour began.<br />

Some words of warning - you need to be in somewhat good shape for the climbing throughout the caves, the terrain is slippery and the tour lasts around 45 minutes. Young children have a hard time as they are not allowed to touch anything and once you are in inside there is not wandering on your own. <br />
<br />
Guided cave tours are offered Thursday through Monday except Thanksgiving and Christmas (no cave tours on Tuesday and Wednesday). The tour lasts 35-40 minutes and is considered to be moderately strenuous<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />

Inside the cave we had to go in the back entrance due to the flooding. We started at the end, worked our way towards the beginning and then turned and headed back out the way we came. <br />

Around the end of January, Duane and I took a mini vacation. I have been wanting to go to the Florida State Caverns for a while now and we thought this would be a perfect time. Since the caverns and the highest water fall in Florida are several hours away from our house, we decided to hit both of them. The Saturday we arrived in Chipley was a brisk and very windy day. I was not expecting the waterfall to be as beautiful as it was. <br />

Along along the walk way there were many sink holes to check out - It would be extremely scary walking through these woods befoe the walkways were built - some of the sinkholes were a good 30 - 50ft down. <br />

You walk along a boardwalk for a while and then you can begin to hear the sounds of the falling waters. Upon further investigation you can see that the waterfall falls directly into a sinkhole that is about 100ft from the top.<br />

Further investigation of the park revealed the water supply for the fall. With the man made Lake and Dam the waterfall will be able to continue to fall for many years to come.<br />

One day when meandering around the lake in Celebration we noticed that someone was renting bikes. Not the normal 2 tire bikes that most people ride, but these were more golf cart like. <br />
<br />

I immediately wanted to do this for the blog, so we set off towards the Bohemian hotel parking lot to see where the bikes were being rented. The couple that own the bike rental were extremely nice and said that a few days before was their opening and we were one of the first to try it out. <br />
<br />
They even have larger vehicles for you to bring the entire family to enjoy.<br />

In addition to the large bikes, you can also rent the 2 wheel kind. Disney built a boardwalk that runs through Celebration and you are allowed to take those bikes along that path. We will defnitely be going back to check out that section. <br />

Living in Orlando there are tons of things to check out and do. I always see the helicopters flying around but never really gave them too much thought - until I saw an ad to ride in one. That piqued my interest and made me want to fly high in the sky. I have flown in airplanes before, but the personal nature of the chopper made me yearn to try it out. I grabbed one of my girlfriends and we were off on our adventure.<br />
<br />
With so many different tours to choose from we decided on the one that would be closer to the center of all the action - International drive - this way we could see Sea World, Universal, Disney, etc.<br />
<br />
We arrived at <a href="http://airfloridahelicopter.com/">Air Florida Helicopter Charters</a> and were greeted by their very friendly and energtic staff. There is a large wall that lists all of the flights - what they cover and their time frames - I am not going to lie to you - it is not cheap - they do have a $20/per person flight - but it is only 3 minutes long - I know what you are thinking 3 minutes?, but you don't realize how long 3 minutes actually is until you are doing something for that period. They offer such a wide range - <a href="http://airfloridahelicopter.com/Tours">I linked them here</a> - <br />
<br />
We choose - Tour #5 - this is a 12 minute ride - but it felt like we were up there for at least 30 minutes!!!!<br />
<br />
Get your cameras ready for this one! Our tour #5 soars you high above Disney's E.P.C.O.T Center, Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney, Disney's Sport Complex, Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Blizzard Beach Water Park, Planet Hollywood Themed Restaurant, Lake Buena Vista, Marriott's Orlando World Center Resort, Disney Resorts, Sea World, and Discovery Cove.<br />

I have always been fascinated with trains since I was very little. The idea of something that large screaming down the tracks, blowing the horn and steam rolling out the top was always very exciting. I always wished I would have the opportunity to ride one someday. However, as I got older, trains went away and were not something that was easily accessible anymore. I thought that I would never get a chance to mark that off of my "bucket list". Luckily one day in December, I came across an advertisement for the America's number one movie train - the Orange Blossom Cannonball - and I knew this was the opportunity I had been waiting for. I could mark off another item from my "list" and I could do something cool to promote on the blog.<br />
<br />
Upon checking out their site, I noticed they had several different ride options - from one to two hour normal train rides, to the "Pizza Express" where you get unlimited pizza and drinks while you ride, want to do something way out of the normal - try the Wild West Train Ride and Hoedown or the Rails and Ales tour.<br />
<br />
We decided to go to the first one that was available so we decided on the Saturday one hour excursion - this ride takes you a half hour out and then you turn around and come back to the station. The two hour ride goes to Lake Jem -<br />

Upon entering the train you are allowed to sit anywhere - they have several carts to sit in and every seat has a table - there is a cafe on the train where you can purchase beer, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. You can even bring your own dinner to enjoy on the train.<br />

In November I was searching the bucket lists I have at the top of the page for something new that we could go discover. I came across the Myakka River State Park Treetop canopy walk and was very intrigued. It is the only treetop canopy walk in Florida and sounded very interesting.<br />
<br />
We drove to Sarasota from our house - only took about 2.5 hours and drove directly to the state park. Upon entering the area we paid our $6.00 to park and decided to check out the tourist station. The guide there explained that we had to drive a little further down to get to the canopy walk. <br />
<br />
Inside the ranger/tourist station there were different displays regarding the flora and fauna of Florida. The Myakka River State Park is one of the oldest and largest filled with wetlands, prairies, and woodlands.<br />

The Myakka Canopy Walkway provides easy access to observe
life in the treetops of an oak/palm hammock.
Completed in 2000, the structure became known as the first public
treetop trail in North America.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The walkway is suspended 25 feet above the ground and
meanders about 100 feet through the canopy.
The second tower soars 74 feet in the air and provides a spectacular
view of the treetops, wetlands and surrounding areas. <o:p></o:p></div>

Once finished with the walkway - we headed back to the car to continue to explore the state park. About 3 miles further down we found the main area of the state park. This is where they have airboat rides, tram safari, and a restaurant.</div>

Discovery Cove is an all inclusive park that allows you to have an interactive experience with a dolphin and we were able to take advantage of the Florida Resident special that they offered. With our price of admission all the following was included - parking, breakfast buffet, non-alcoholic drinks, alcoholic drinks, snacks, lunch, towels, sun-screen, snorkeling gear and wet-suits. We also received unlimited access to both Seaworld and Aquatica for the rest of 2012 and January of 2013.<br />
<br />
We arrived at Discover Cove around 8:00 a.m. - the parking lot opens at 7:30 am and the person I made the reservations with said the 9:00 am is there busiest time and try to make it in before then.<br />
<br />
We entered in a large waiting lobby area where we were called over to get our tickets - they take your picture and apply it to your badge for the day - it listed our dolphin excursion time, as well as that we were old enough to drink and that we are eligible for Seaworld and Aquatica. After check in we meandered back to where the lockers and bathrooms are - lockers are included and wetsuits or vests are required - both my husband and I choose the vest option. Our dolphin excursion was scheduled for 9:30 so we headed off to the breakfast buffet and to wander around before hand.<br />

At 9:30 we met up with at the Seahorse cabana for our information on the dolphin excursion and headed off towards our lagoon. Our dolphins' name was Kaleigh and she was 3 years old and weighed almost 400 lbs. The first 15 minutes the trainer had her swim back and front of us so that we could touch her as she swam around, we all got to feed her and then everyone got their picture taken kissing the dolphin. At the end of the excursion each person got to swim with the dolphin pulling your through the water. This was one of the most memorable and exciting things I have ever done. I have wanted to swim with the dolphins since I was a little girl and my dreams finally came through. <br />

After swimming with the dolphins we decided to explore - we hit the free flight aviary where Duane was able to feed the birds - at one point he became the bird man with a ton of birds all over him. <br />

One of the other really interesting areas is the Grand Key Reef. We were able to snorkel with thousands of tropical fish and sting rays. There is even a section that has sharks behind a protective area - but you can snorkel right next to them. The water for the reef and the dolphin excursion were a chilly 74 degrees. It is amazing how cold it is at first and then how quickly your body become acclimated. <br />

After lunch we hung out - and then went back to the bird area. She was about the feed the kingfish and they like fish to be thrown in the air for them to catch it - I was able to fee the birds - another really cool experience.<br />

Recently, Duane and I were looking for something "unknown" to do that we didn't have to drive forever or take all day to explore. We were looking through on of the things to do in Florida websites - I think maybe the Trip Advisor - and it said Orlando Brewing. Neither him nor I knew there was a working brewery in the city so that is where we decided to head out. <br />
<br />
Upon driving to the area you realize that the brewery is not in a typical area. It is completely surrounded by industrial warehouses and concrete factories. We thought perhaps we were lost driving down Atlanta street, but then to the right - there it was!!<br />
<br />
Upon entering the establishment you can tell that it has been in business for quite a while and they are extremely excited and knowledgable regarding the craft beers that they make and sell. Most of the staff are volunteers and not full time staff. <br />

We purchased a flight - which is a sampler of the top 8 beers that they craft. They provide you with a flyer that goes into detail about each beer so that you can learn about the beer while enjoying it.<br />

I prefered the Blonde Ale, Pale Ale and Red Ale - Duane prefered the European Pilzner.<br />
<br />
Every evening around 6pm there is a FREE brewery tour - you just have to get your ticket from the bartender before 6. <br />

The gentleman that owns the establishment will walk you through the brewery process, what items are needed to make beer and how they all work together - the tour lasts roughly an hour and is very informative.</div>

<br />
They do not serve food, but offer a selection of take-out delivery menus that you can order from and the <br />
companies deliver the food right to your table.<br />
<br />
They are always asking for volunteers - you get free beer to drink and tips to go home with.<br />
<br />
If you are a home brewer - if you volunteer - in addition to the free beer - you also can take some yeast home to use in your brewing <br />
<br />
On weekends they offer original music and have a large covered stage where they perform.<br />
<br />
Whether you are looking to try some new hand-crafted beers or discover and "unknown" area in Florida - stop by and give them a try!!!<br />

During the summer months, my job offers a wonderful "summer hours" program, where you can work extra hours in the week and have Friday's off. I love this program and participate every year so that I have available days to go do adventurous activities without having to interrupt my weekend. This summer hours my friend and I decided to check out Alexander Springs in the Ocala National Forest. It was only an hour away and neither my friend or I had ever been inside the forest, so we headed out. The springs are off a dirt road off of FL 19 and the front entrance appears out of nowhere on the left. The price for entrance (not a FL state park) was $11 for two of us. We pulled in and found canoe parking. <br />

Normally we always walk around and check out the surroundings before heading straight to our adventure. This time was no different - we checked out the canoe rental area, walked through the picnic section over to the swimming hole. The water is always 72 degrees and with the sand that they added to the bottom of the area - the water is crystal clear so that the bottom and all of the wildlife are visible. Many divers frequent this spring and actually have their own section.<br />

Normally when we have our adventures we kayak, but there was only canoe rentals available at this location so we went for it instead. You can bring your own kayaks and launch here, there are just none available to rent. <br />

After we paid and got all of our gear together we headed out. The ramp to get the canoes and the launch were pretty far from each other so they provided us with a canoe dolly to use - it was pretty cool and so helpful - the thought of carrying that canoe the 50 feet was not something I would have enjoyed doing.<br />

Once on the water the tranquility of the area and the wildlife were refreshing and much needed. The signs of civilization slowly slipped away until bird and gator chirpings were the only noises to be heard. We spotted numerous birds, gators, and turtles - otters have been known to frequent the area as well as black bears - unfortunately we missed both of those.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">One weekend my husband and I were trying to figure out something fun we could do with our 14 year-old-son. Something new and different - he mentioned to be that he had heard about a new place that just opened on I drive that sounded interesting - the Whirly Dome. I was like - what is a whirlydome? never heard of anything like that before and he said he wasn't really sure but he thought it was like a Dave N Busters. I said let's not guess and go check it out instead. </span><br />

We had absolutely no idea what we were getting ourselves into. The Whirlydome is an indoor facility that has different types of games - with their own game - Whirly Ball being the main focus - what is WhirlyBall? - well it is a combination of bumper cars and jai-alai together - you need at least 4 people to play with the most of 5 per side in a single game. It is so much harder than it sounds - we did the 15 minutes and I think it took me 13 to figure out how to drive the bumper cars. <br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Upon looking for things to do with the blog I ran across a place in Oviedo that was a nursery where you can go and buy plants, vegetables to grow, statues and anything that would go in your outdoor space. The cool thing about this nursery is that they also have a Butterfly Encounter. Entrance into the exhibit was only $5.00 per person and went towards the upkeep. You are allowed to go in and out as many times as you wanted because the temperature inside the exhibit was like 120 degrees. </span><br />
