We're all about Sanford Florida!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I had previously mentioned that The Trivia Tart was going to host a Trivia Night on August 20 at the Sanford Wine Company. Of course we had to check out the new location for this always fun event – and were quite happy with it ;o) I hadn’t been to Trivia in a while and [...]
Not that there isn’t enough to do in Sanford and Orlando as it is, but in case your kids, or you, ever feel bored, you should check out Kidtropolis in Sanford, located right off highway 46 on the West side of I-4. Kidtropolis offers over 2,000 square feet of arcade games. There will certainly be [...]
Sanford FL is a great place to enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning, away from all the hustle and bustle. Since I also wanted to check out the new covered shade I had written about during the week, I decided to visit the weekly Sanford Farmers Market on Magnolia Square and then walk a bit through [...]
As most of you already know, Sanford has its own Zoo, the Central Florida Zoo. Located right off exit 104 from I-4, the zoo entrance faces beautiful Lake Monroe and is surrounded by a preserve. If you are in the area you should definitely check out the Zoo. I had previously mentioned the zoo because [...]
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 [...]
Walking down Park Avenue in Winter Park I noticed this building, the Swetman building with the sign “Little Europe” on it. That name is actually quite fitting for the entire Park Avenue area because people often notice that Winter Park’s Park Avenue has a European flair. I think I can agree with that, this street [...]
The Sanford Wine Company is one of the most popular bars in Sanford. It is located on Palmetto Avenue in the Historic downtown district of Sanford. This unique little bar is a great spot for a fun evening with friends. The list of available wines is long and special, the atmosphere casual yet trendy: industrial [...]
Mini Golf is always a fun activity. I can’t remember when was the last time though that I actually played mini golf. It must have been years… So I was even happier when the idea was brought up, and of course excited to be able to take some pictures for my blog. We were quite [...]
One of the best (and very affordable) activities for a summer weekend is visiting Wekiva Falls Resort in Lake County (Sorrento) – not to be confused with Wekiva Springs in Longwood, FL. It is actually only a short drive away from Sanford (10 minutes from mall area) but canoeing on the Wekiva River will make [...]
New Smyrna Beach is a great alternative to Daytona Beach. It is about a 45 minute drive from Sanford. I personally like New Smyrna Beach better than Daytona Beach because of its cozy beach town flair. Flagler Avenue which leads directly to the beach is lined with unique little stores, restaurants and bars which makes [...]
Since I work too much and probably won’t get to do this before my 365 project is over I wanted to still be sure to post something about the Rivership Romance in Sanford. It is currently high on my list of things to do but with my days completely overbooked I am running out of [...]
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 [...]
So today we took the second half of the day off to go to accompany our guests to the beach. We chose Clearwater Beach by Tampa. I have to say we took quite a risk because leaving Sanford it was pouring down (as it has over the past week and a half). Miraculously though, as [...]
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 [...]
