…Ingolstadt! My home town in Germany, that’s where the trip went ;o) The picture shows my parents’ home. So my old home is the setting for the end of the 365 challenge about Sanford, FL (my new home). I can’t think of a better ending… I am enjoying my family and friends and the short [...]
So I am sitting here at MCO (Orlando International Airport) waiting for my plane. Yay, I’m looking forward to this trip so much! It’s kind of funny that this challenge will not end in Sanford but in … [to be continued. ..Wait for tomorrow's post] Pin It
Fort Mellon Park in Sanford has one of the most beautiful settings, right by Lake Monroe. This is a great location for kids and the perfect spot on a hot summer day thanks to the Splash Pad. There is also a large playground, making this a very entertaining spot for the little ones. Be sure [...]
Uptown Altamonte in Altamonte Springs is the location of many events in the area (for example Red Hot & Boom for the 4th of July). It’s a beautiful area to spend some hours just strolling around and enjoying the beautiful setting. Cranes Roost Park is the center of Uptown Altamonte. You will also find a [...]
Today I wanted to take a different look at Sanford. I have been focusing a lot on buildings and”the obvious” that is right in front of me. It is also quite fun though to look for details when walking around. Can you guess where any of these pictures were taken? Pin It
The Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center is located on 5th Street in the historic district of Sanford. This building is available for lease 7 days a week for all kinds of events. With a capacity of about 115 people it makes a great spot for wedding receptions (especially attractive because of the adjacent Centennial [...]
Ok, so before it looks like I am secretly paid by Carlos & Charlies I will keep it short… It just happens that we hang out a lot here and it happens to be my daily pic (again, I know!), not sure if it’s the music or atmosphere but it’s just what I need sometimes [...]
Since I grab lunch here every once in a while I didn’t want to leave an old classic unmentioned: Applebee’s. This location is right on the Park Place at Heathrow Plaza in Lake Mary. What I like about Applebee’s is that I always get what I expect. It’s also a great spot for casual meetings [...]
Caddies Pub is open! I am definitely planning on stopping by soon (especially since I walk by several times every day) so I can write a bit more about what this new pub offers. To be continued ;o) … Pin It
Another great mall in Seminole county is the Altamonte Mall. It is about 15 minutes from Sanford and features more stores than the Seminole Town Center in Sanford (soon Sanford will have one of the most awesome stores though, H&M!), including an Apple Store.The Altamonte Mall, just as the Seminole Town Center Mall is also [...]
Randomness Alert ;o) – Sometimes I wish I had a better zoom… This airplane seemed so close when I first got out the camera…Nevertheless, it made the picture of the day. As I am approaching my 365 deadline I am noticing how often I visit the same places in Sanford and area. Even though I [...]
So I guess our official “Labor Day” was today since we spent a good amount of time on the couch. I am not sure how the name “couch potato” was invented but I think that’s what we were today. We watched almost 3 movies and were just lazy. That’s because tomorrow’s Labor Day will be [...]
Since we stayed in Tampa overnight (didn’t want to drive back late after the concert) we spent the night there. The next day we went to have lunch in an area called Westchase before heading home to Sanford. The area reminded me a lot of the area around Colonial Town Park in Lake Mary, potentially [...]
How exciting, we went to the Depeche Mode concert at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa! I have been a fan of this awesome band since my teen years so I couldn’t wait to finally see them live. It was such a great experience and I didn’t want the concert to end. Below are more pictures [...]
The campus of Rollins College in Winter Park is truly one of the best spots in the Orlando area to take some great pictures. The Mediterranean look combined with lush landscaping and romantic archways and courtyards is the ideal setting for wedding or engagement photography. Best day to shoot is probably on weekends – less [...]
Orlando has obviously more to offer than only theme parks. Sure, Orlando will never compare to NYC, Washington D.C. or Chicago but we shouldn’t overlook culture and art in the City Beautiful. So I encourage everyone to visit the Orlando Museum of Art this Fall to learn a bit more about art and enjoy one [...]
Tonight we were invited to the anniversary party of Fields BMW featuring Eddie Money who was going to perform live for all guests. Well, Florida’s weather kind of got in the way and the concert was canceled last minute even though the stage and everything had already been set up. Luckily Fields BMW had an [...]
One of my favorite condo buildings in Orlando downtown is The Waverly. Every 4th of July in fact I wish I knew someone in the building to watch the fireworks over Lake Eola from here ;o) The Waverly has about 230 units and features great amenities. Prices here start in the mid 100s for a [...]
When Jose invited me to an Indian Brunch I first wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Indian cuisine is not exactly what I connect with anything breakfast related. Since I am a fan of Indian food though I was defintiely willing to try it. Well, it turns out, Memories of India is not actually offering [...]
After having lunch in downtown Sanford on a beautiful Saturday I walked down to the Veterans Memorial Park. The flag hung on half mast that day because of Ted Kennedy’s death, I assume (so yes, I am once again behind on my posts…shame on me!). This little park right by the Sanford Riverwalk is actually [...]
