Open Table just released its Top 100 Scenic Restaurants in the US for 2018, and 13 Florida restaurants are on the list! We’re so glad they did the exhausting research – combing through millions of reviews for over 28,000 restaurants. Cuisine, location, and ambiance are key – but not necessarily in that order. For some of us location and ambiance...
And without actually seeing the man himself, which would, of course, make our lives complete. But the next best thing is spending time being a typical tourist (which, as you know, we usually run away from as quick as the wind.) 100% of the time we encourage you to play and stay at independently owned places. Supporting small business, experiencing...
Fresh starts. Second chances. Face lifts. These stories capture our attention, because everyone deserves those things – though perhaps not everyone needs all three… ‘Approachable’ and ‘experience-driven’ are terms that are appearing more and more as you look around to plan your next trip. Yes, sometimes you just want a quick overnight on your way to someplace better, a clean...
Southern Living Magazine has been highlighting the beauty and culture of the South since 1966 and has become one of the largest lifestyle brands in the country.

The big parking lots and the colorful...
Because my mother was an old-fashioned, gentle lady, the “f” word was forbidden at our house. And even though Mom has been gone for four years now, Dad still creatively uses “fracking” and “forking.” To be completely transparent, not so I. While we feel extremely grateful that Hurricane Irma wasn’t any worse for us in Brevard County, and our hearts...
At first I said “Who cares why? I just am.” And, making my crying face, “Science is so BORING!” But I forced myself to read the article. It was kind of long, and I am such a ‘bottom line’ girl. Cut to the chase, people, time is a-wastin’. But I did it, and I’m glad. Full of a ton of...
