Our Sloth Encounter at Wild Florida !

February 20, 2019

Everyone needs to pet a sloth at least once in life, and you can do it at Wild Florida. It’s so much fun and so memorable. Add this to your bucket list!

Wild Florida hosted us for a day of fun, getting to meet sloths and take an airboat ride.

My friend Brittany’s husband left for a deployment in the Middle East at the start of February. Any deployment is a big deal and a huge sacrifice for everyone involved. But this is a 14 month long deployment, so it really stinks. A whole year and then some. So, I was thinking that Brittany needed to do something fun to do to take her mind off the fact that she and the kids just said good bye to their Navy Captain.

Clearly, my idea of fun meant that I would need to ‘kidnap’ her for the day, to take her on an adventure.

She loves sloths the way that Kristen Bell loves sloths, so once I discovered Wild Florida and their really cool Sloth Experiences I knew that we needed to go!

Let’s Go on a Hike!- Triple Creek Nature Preserve – FL

January 10, 2019

Winter in Florida is the best. The temperature is great, it’s slightly windy, there is no rain. I certainly love summer, but Florida in the winter is just as wonderful. Maybe it’s because I am still enjoying all the ‘SNOW IS HITTING THE NORTHEAST HARDDDD!!!!! weather forecasts and I am still loving my snow free life. I’m determined to make the most out of it all and we are getting out hike on now!

Let’s be Social at Council Oak – Tampa, FL

January 6, 2019

Tampa’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s Council Oak restaurant hosts a ‘Social Hour’ that is putting Happy Hour on its head with amazing shareable dishes & elegantly made classic cocktails. Come, be social, leave full!

I was invited to enjoy dinner at Council Oak with other Tampa Bay bloggers to try out their new “Social Hour” menu. This will fast become the place to be to celebrate happy hour at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.

Every time I tell people that I am going out to Council Oak, I get “ooohs” and “aaaahs”. Its reputation is well deserved because of their dedication for creating notable meals and well- crafted drinks. Any time you go, you’ll be in for a real experience.

I recently enjoyed a dinner at Council Oak in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa. I was there with a wonderful group of fellow Tampa Bay based bloggers. The intimate group allowed us to converse about must dine at Tampa restaurants, the crazy things our kids do, and how to best use credit card points to allow you to travel more. Of course, the conversations were great, but the star of the show was the incredible food and drinks.
