We're all about Sanford Florida!
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 [...]
This weekend we went out to celebrate a friend’s b-day in Downtown Orlando. Our first stop was Sky 60, one of my favorite bars/clubs in Orlando. It is a rooftop bar with great music and “South Beach flair”. Nice outdoor couches and white cabana booths create a summer like trendy atmosphere. You will also have [...]
Today we stopped by the Orlando Shakespeare Theater/John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center in Orlando to check out what’s new now that the new season is going to kick off on September 12th. If you are interested in attending the Gala click here for more info. The Shakespeare Theater (with its 3 main theaters and [...]
Basti is back in Orlando to celebrate his b-day with Lupe and us, so after a day of shopping at the Prime Outlet Mall in Orlando we decided to eat at McCormick & Schmick’s by the Millenia Mall. I had never been to this elegant seafood restaurant so I was quite excited to be able [...]
The Citrus Club is one of Orlando’s most exclusive and upscale clubs. I was lucky enough to be invited for lunch and dinner at the restaurant in the citrus tower (BB&T building on Orange Avenue) several times in the past and have always enjoyed the amazing views of Orlando from up here. It is not [...]
The Plaza Cinema Cafe on Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando is a great place to watch the newest movies. But this place is more than just a regular movie theatre. Besides its 12 auditoriums it also offers 2 wine bars/cafes with a complete menu and 2 art galleries. With a location right by Orlando’s nightlife [...]
Another attempt at skyline shots of Orlando – this time out of the driving car. I still have to try a shoot from the Lake Ivanhoe location that was suggested, just haven’t had the time yet… Pin It
The Colombian cuisine is one of my favorites – of course I am a bit biased here because Jose is from Colombia and I have been there twice now and enjoyed their food and culture very much. Nevertheless, I think a Colombian restaurant is worth your visit so you can from your own opinion. There [...]
I always wonder how I could possibly take a good shot of the Orlando skyline but it seems very difficult. So today I just tried to take one from the car as I was waiting to exit I-4 at the Colonial Drive Exit. Let’s see where I can find a better spot without risking to [...]
Yep, another rainy day. And of course, it had to be a Saturday… This shot was actually taken from the Jackson, a condo development in Thornton Park (downtown Orlando). I showed a condo here this morning and we barely made it into the building when it started raining, or should I say, pouring down… So [...]
With Disney, Universal or Seaworld right here, the actual city of Orlando and with it the beautiful downtown area that helped Orlando earn its nick name “The City Beautiful” is overlooked too often. While tourists storm the parks and other entertainment venues though, Lake Eola and the adjacent park is a favorite among locals, not [...]
Today we attended a fundraiser organized for the brother of a friend who had been in a bad car accident last year. The event was held in downtown Orlando and a huge success. Over 100 people showed up and supported the cause. The theme was a spaghetti cook off which I thought was a very [...]
One of Jose’s cousins is looking to visit her dad in Mexico (he lives there temporarily for business). Being Colombian, she needs a visa to travel to Mexico. So today we drove her to the Mexican Consulate in Orlando. I had honestly no idea we had a Consulate General of Mexico here in Orlando. You [...]
As requested by most of our guests from anywhere in the US or the world (in this case Jose’s primas de Colombia) we typically visit Orlando’s most popular outdoor outlet mall, the new Prime Outlet on International Drive. I personally don’t mind the request by the way. So this Memorial Day I drove down to [...]
So, living in Orlando, everyone gets to know Interstate 4 (I-4), whether you like it or not! Like most interstates in the US, I-4 seems to be chronically congested or under construction. I don’t know how many hours of my life I have spent sitting in traffic on I-4, but I know it’s been too [...]
Were we looking forward to a night of Tapas and Spanish dining!! My friend Diana and I had it all planned out and promised Jose and Mike a true feast. So, of course, in order to prepare for this night of gourmet dining, we did not eat a bite all day (of course with exception [...]
I have a new favorite Sushi restaurant: Seito Sushi! We went to their Baldwin Park location (other locations in Celebration, Sand Lake, and Winter Park) for dinner with friends. Now, I typically don’t like raw tuna straight but when our friends offered us to share their Spicy Tuna Kobachi with us I tried it – [...]
This afternoon we spent some time in Baldwin Park, inspecting a new home that we will market for K. Hovnanian® Homes®, so while there we drove to the little downtown area and took some pictures. Unfortunately it wasn’t the sunniest day but at least it didn’t rain on us… I personally like Baldwin Park a [...]
