Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge
I recently had the pleasure of exploring Black Point Wildlife Drive in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, and let me tell you — it’s one of my favorite places I’ve visited in recent months! The adventure begins with a $10 entry fee that grants you access to...
Visiting Marathon in the Keys
Sunset Moments & Unexpected Nightlife in Marathon We arrived at the Blackfin Resort & Marina just in time for sunset—and wow, what a show. Quin and I stood there watching as the sky transformed into brilliant shades of orange and pink before melting into the...
Nunan Butterfly Garden
A Serendipitous Stroll Through the Nunan Butterfly Garden Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you don’t plan for. While waiting for the native plant sale to begin, Shanda and I found ourselves wandering behind the Mount Dora Library—and that’s when we stumbled...
