Seaside
On Florida's Beautiful Gulf Coast
Our favorite beach getaway is to Seaside Florida. Located between Destin and Panama City Beach, it's the perfect place for our family to escape the busyness of our lives at home. The simplicity of each visit along with the perspective we gain or regain, make it invaluable to us and we feel the need to make the trip at least once a year. We hope you enjoy the information shared here and even more so wish for you to have the opportunity to visit Seaside in the very near future. You'll love it!

30-A
Off the Beaten Path
Scenic Route 30-A is an 18-mile road that hugs the coast along the Gulf of Mexico in Northwest Florida. Along this breath-taking drive you will see sugar-white sand beaches and some very rare coastal dune lakes. You will also discover a wonderful string of beach communities that are known for their relaxed lifestyle. I hope this lens inspires you to take a trip and visit this peaceful stretch of road and all that it has to offer.

Florida
My Florida
When you think of Florida, do you only envision beaches and Disney? Do you know what a Florida Cracker is? Have you bought any swamp land in Florida? Have you ever had real Key Lime Pie? Many Floridians bleed orange and blue. Come sit a spell and let me show you my Florida. Let me start you with an image of a morning shuttle launch, just as the sun was rising... When the world is quiet at dawn, you can hear the shuttle all the way at my house, in Orlando.

Gatorland
Gatorland, Florida
Built in 1949, Gatorland is the epitome of, "old Florida charm," and is an excellent half-day adventure. But they don't have just gators laying around, looking like any old lake in Florida. No, they have a scenic overlook tower you can climb and see the whole 16 acre lake full of gators. You will see gators jumping at the gator jumparoo show. There is a gator wrestlin' show and there are gator nuggets at the restaurant. There are big gators and little baby gators and all sorts of gator souven...

NASA-Kennedy Space Center
Don't Forget about KSC!
One of my favorite places to visit is NASA! If you're planning a Florida vacation, then don't miss seeing where history was made starting in 1958. As America mothballs its space program and no longer looks to the future, KSC will be here to remind of us of what we have accomplished.

Bok Tower Gardens
Bok Tower Gardens-a piece of Florida history!
Down in the hills of Florida, past the miles of orange groves, is one of Florida's old time parks, Bok Tower Gardens. Although the park used to seem bigger (subdivision sprang up all around it during the last out-of-control building glut) this botanical park is 250 acres and worth your time to visit. Not only is this a great little day trip, I think that Bok Tower has one of the better gift shops of any Florida attraction. On top of the wonderful little trinkets for your own garden and wildl...
