Day 230 – Dexters Lake Mary FL and my Cinco de Mayo Lunch

Oh what a beautiful Cinco de Mayo it was! Sunny and warm – just perfect to enjoy a fresh margarita outside with friends! We went to Dexters (located at Colonial Town Park) in Lake Mary for lunch.

Day 197 – Seminole County Fair in Sanford FL

Seminole County Fair

Fairs have been fascinating to me ever since! I prefer the old fashioned fair over a modern amusement park anytime. Not sure what it is about it, maybe childhood memories, the much more affordable price (free parking and admission, $1 rides) or simply the types of rides that are much less harmful and wild, yet [...]

Day 150 – Valentines Day in Sanford

Valentine's Day Balloon

This Valentine’s Day we attended a Valentine’s Day Party. My daily picture shows one of the many balloons that were part of the decoration at the party. Since we were lucky with the weather it was an outdoor Valentine’s Day Party by the pool. Another reason why I love life in Florida Pin It

Day 100 – Post Holiday Shopping

Post Holiday Shopping

Well, how could we resist? Supposedly one of the best days to shop in the USA and my family here from Europe, that’s a no-brainer right? As you might guess, it was crowded, but not as much as in other years (from what I recall). This picture was taken at one of my favorite malls, [...]

Day 92 – Santa in the Seminole Town Center in Sanford

Santa in the Seminole Town Center in Sanford

Day 89 – Santa and Claudia in Winter Park

Santa and Claudia in Winter Park

Day 85 – Cheers to the Holidaze Alive After Five in Sanford

Cheers to the Holidaze Street Party in Sanford, FL

This month’s Alive After Five street party was of course all about the holidays, therefore the name choice “Cheers to the Holidaze”. Fortunately the heavy rain stopped right around 3:30pm and so the event was on! Even though the event wasn’t as busy as usual it was still a big success. Of course, there was [...]

Day 72 – Black Friday Midnight Madness at Prime Outlet in Orlando

Midnight Madness at Orlando Prime Outlet Mall

This year I was finally able to attend a real Midnight Madness. Even though I didn’t buy anything (too confusing and crowded) I am glad I went. It was a cool experience and kind of exciting to go to a mall at midnight. Here’s a short video: Pin It

Day 23 – Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Orlando

Ghost trying to scare Holly

Friday night brought me to Universal Horror Night in Orlando. What a scary night – No really, it was scary! At least for me since I am not a Horror movie fan or anything like that. I was holding on to Jose most of the time and squeezing his hand until it hurt. The theme [...]
