Good-bye to 33rd Street
We recently helped Mom and Dad moved and saw a lot of beautiful flowers along the way. We have a link to a small photo album of our trip to Erie. Continue reading Good-bye to 33rd Street

Restaurants in DeLand, Florida
We’ve been able to explore some of the many good restaurants in DeLand, Florida, often walking from Stetson University campus to the historic downtown. I’ll add to this list over time. We recommend all of these. Restaurants in DeLand, Florida Angelina’s Pizzeria has delicious pizzas and Italian food at affordable prices. Our portions were large, so you could share. Bill & Frank’s Brickhouse Grill has delicious food, but can get too crazy-busy on a weekend night, so try another time. Boston Coffeehouse I loved the decor (the original Boston Coffeehouse is on New York Ave.) and my sandwich on a … Continue reading Restaurants in DeLand, Florida
Arts Fest
We did not know that for more than twenty years Arts Fest has been offering free admission to different venues in four central Florida counties. We decided to participate. Today, we dropped in on the Out of This World exhibit at the History Center in downtown Orlando. We saw sci-fi props and costumes from Star Trek, Star Wars, and more. Last week, we visited the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the beautiful campus of Rollins College. We were particularly fascinated with a traveling exhibit, Man and Machine, which featured Soviet posters from Stalin’s time. Downtown Winter Park is next to … Continue reading Arts Fest
Busch Gardens in Tampa
Mike and Sus had an opportunity to go to Busch Gardens for a day. We wanted to see their Christmas shows and their decorations. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed a very good Gospel-style Christmas concert and a great ice skating show. Both shows were very well done. For dinner we also recommend the Zambia Smokehouse in Stanleyville. We were able to share a meal because of the portion sizes and the food was delicious! At the end of the day, the lighting was fantastic… a photographer’s delight! We were really pleased with our photos and have posted several animal … Continue reading Busch Gardens in Tampa
Happy Belated Father’s Day!
Josh made it into the UF Gators football ticket lottery this year and has been enjoying going to all the home games. He wanted to treat Mike to a game and was finally able to get two tickets for this last Saturday as a belated Father’s Day gift. Mike was pretty excited! He made it to Gainesville before dinner and went to David’s Real Pit BBQ with Josh and his roommates. Afterward, Mike and Josh headed for the UF Stadium, a.k.a, The Swamp. They had a great time watching the UF vs. Vanderbilt game together. Mike made it home by … Continue reading Happy Belated Father’s Day!
Oak Alley Plantation
We really enjoyed this lovely plantation. We had a simple breakfast in their restaurant mid-morning and then took a slower pace, enjoying the beautiful grounds before taking the house tour. Afterwards, we drove along the Mississippi River to see if we could photograph other plantations. We were able to see three more plantations along route 18. If you want a nice day trip you could photograph even more along The River Road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Our photos are of Oak Alley, Evergreen, Laura, and St. Joseph.
