We had so much fun two years ago, meeting Jenn at Stetson University to go to a ball game, that we planned to go again her senior year. Like our first Hatters game two years ago, we had hot dogs first at baseball-themed Casey’s on the Corner. This time Josh was with us. More

Join us on a “tour” of Campus Crusade for Christ’s International headquarters. God has blessed us with beautiful buildings and grounds as well as wonderful people to minister with. We hope these photos will encourage you to consider visiting if you make a trip to Orlando sometime.
The best way for us to show you Lake Hart is to send you over to a captioned slideshow. We have photos of the grounds; the JESUS Film Tour; the prayer rooms; the memorial wall and garden honoring Dr. Bright; and more. More

I recently discovered Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida, a fantastic birding spot! We were only there for a little over two hours (and didn’t even walk a mile into the reserve… all the birds were about a quarter mile from the nature center). Even at noon the birds were active and out in the open.
We saw More

I took up birdwatching forty years ago, but my birding was pretty sporadic until two years ago when I realized I needed to fit things in my schedule that I really enjoy doing, not just what has to be done. Occasionally now I’ll stop at a park or go for a walk in a new area with my binoculars and bird book in hand.
One very easy birding opportunity for me is when Great Horned owls return to nest in an old oak, dripping with Spanish moss. We can just park our car on a city street, often stopping to check on the owls on our way home from church. We’ve enjoyed watching the owls every winter for two years now. More

We like to post tips so you know about different things to do in your travels. Recently, we discovered Festivals of Speed, which is held in four different locations in Florida. We learned about it through an offer to get in for half price with a Living Social coupon.
We drove up to the quiet town of Howey-in-the-Hills, where dozens of “exotic cars” were on display on the beautiful Mission Inn’s golf course. (We never did see Howey.)
In addition to the “exotic cars” we saw boats, classic cars, and sports cars. The most expensive vehicle on the property? An $800,000 motor home. (Personally, I’d rather people spent that kind of money on missions or something instead of on themselves).
In this photo, we’re posing with a Mosler, which is a Florida-made car that we hadn’t heard of before. We even saw a humble, little VW bug! It seemed out-of-place.
If you like cars, and you’re in Florida at the right time, we can recommend Festivals of Speed.
