The Caribe Royale Resort Review Orlando, FL {30th Anniversary Series}

Caribe Royale

When we decided to spend a week in Orlando, I spent over a week trying to find the perfect hotel or resort. Not knowing the area really well, or the resorts I was a little hesitant to choose one because pictures can be so deceiving. After checking out over 20 sites we settled on the Caribe Royale. I was hopeful that the resort would be as nice as the site made it look, and I was pleasantly surprised. From the moment we hit the lobby, our moods changed from stressed and tired to relaxed … [Read more...]

My husband and I are celebrating our 30th year together this year.  We are having a ball!  We are both creatures of habit.  We do the same things the same way every year.  In celebration of being together 30 years, I decided it was time to get out of my comfort zone. One of the things I wanted to try was indoor skydiving.  I was able to do just that at iFly Orlando. It was AWESOME! I had so much fun it is hard to describe.  When we first arrived we went to the observation … [Read more...]

We’re In Orlando!

Good morning! As I write this I am listening to the sounds of laughter, pool balls clanking, and Beauty and the Beast playing on the big screen. What wonderful sounds on a beautiful Sunday morning in Orlando. As much as I love the sounds of roller coasters and splashing wales sometimes I just want a little time to relax and enjoy being together. After all vacation is a time to get a little rest...right?

Florida EcoSafaris – Zipline – Horseback Riding – Camping

Florida Eco Safari

In November I had the privilege of visiting Orlando (for the second time in a year) with a group of bloggers. While in Orlando, our itinerary included things that I normally wouldn't have considered, and I am so thankful for that. Our theme was "adventure", and it changed my view of Orlando completely! I always thought of Florida as the "theme park state" but I am learning that you can't always judge a state by it's mouse ears! Florida is full of adventure, and if you're looking for an … [Read more...]

Orlando Brandcation Event Day 1&2

I have been praying for this trip for a week and I am happy to report that God heard my prayers! He has done some pretty awesome things that have shocked me (I know...my faith is so small). The past two days have been full of flying, unpacking boxes, packing swag bags, breaking down boxes, moving everything to another house...basically, more physicall work than I have done in a long time lol.  It has been fun, and God has shown me His grace, as I seek Him each time I fail. It is so easy … [Read more...]

Here are a few tips to ensure every one's happiness: - Travel during the cooler months (not May, June, or July). It is not fun to have to cut a trip to the park short because it's 109!

My Tips for Sea World Orlando: *** If you plan on spending the day in the park, purchase the meal plan! You can NOT take food or drinks into the park, so this is a must! The savings is unbelievable! You pay 29.99 (adults) or 14.99 (children) and you can eat and drink as much as you want ALL DAY LONG! We would have probably spent $30 on water alone!

Blue Man Group – A Show Unlike Any Other!

John, has been trying to get me to go see Blue Man Group for about 3 years now! If I'm being honest, I will tell you, I didn't understand all the hype. I mean really, who the heck wants to go see some weird ear-less guys banging on paint covered drums? While we were in Orlando, John finally wore me down and convinced me that it would make for a great review, (good or bad) on my blog, so I decided to try it! Wow, I was shocked! I knew as soon as I sat down that it was going to be a night … [Read more...]
