No, we really didn’t eat with the Bongos. We took Josh to Boma, a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, for brunch.

We were really pleased with our photos and have posted several animal … Continue reading Busch Gardens in Tampa

My friends drove me over to Kentucky to have a leisurely lunch on the Ohio River on a replica of a paddle wheel steamboat. As I headed back to Cleveland, I stopped in Coshocton for an … Continue reading Alpacas and More on Trip to Ohio
Washington Oaks Gardens State Park is midway between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach on A1A and has something for everyone. You’ll see from the photo the beach isn’t a typical lay-in-the-sun beach, but more appealing to an eco-tourist. Continue reading Washington Oaks Gardens State Park
