Florida, Jupiter, FL

What to See and Do in Jupiter, Florida!

Blowing Rocks Preserve

For years, I’ve been saving Instagram posts of sea grape lined beach walkways, and limestone coasts with the location reading “Jupiter, Florida.” My two friends, their adorable kiddos, and I, finally took the 3.5 hour road trip from Tampa to this East Coast gem. We only spent three days exploring, but were able to fit in everything we wanted to see during our stay!

Here are some of the must-dos when visiting Jupiter…

Kayaking Rock Springs Run from Kings Landing near Orlando, Florida – Top Florida Paddling Trips!

Whether it be in a lake, river, or ocean, Florida has endless options for kayaking adventures! There’s nothing more relaxing to me than paddling down a river, enjoying the sights and sounds of Florida nature. One of my favorite runs to kayak is Rock Springs Run in Apopka, Florida just outside of Orlando. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about kayaking Rock Springs Run from Kings Landing!

Deland, FL

The Best of DeLand, Florida!

I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to write about DeLand. I practically spend every other weekend in this adorable town visiting my boyfriend. If you’re looking for one of the cutest Main Street’s in Florida, add it to the list!

Florida, Lake Nona

Lake Nona Region of Orlando, Florida

If you find yourself wanting to escape the chain restaurants and tourist traffic of the outskirts of Disney, check out the small town of Lake Nona. In just 25 minutes from the Celebration/Lake Buena Vista area, you can find a slice of the Orlando authenticity you’re looking for (minus the Mickey ears).

Fort Myers

A Weekends Worth in Fort Myers, FL

Just when I think I’ve had enough with my boyfriend’s sports obsession, it brings us to a fun little weekend getaway in Fort Myers.  While Travis attended a basketball officiating camp, I rendezvoused around town with my friend Krystle.  Summer is a surprisingly sleepy time of year in Fort Myers, but we had our fair share of fun!

Titusville

Day Trip to Titusville, Florida

I had seen Sledd’s U-Pick Farm pop up on my Facebook awhile ago and, like I always do, added it to my never ending list of places to go in Florida.  The flowers typically bloom in April/May, so I’ve been patiently awaiting their arrival.  I simultaneously was waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell my boyfriend that I wanted to drive 50 minutes from his house in Deland to pick sunflowers from a field.  That window of opportunity arose when he told me he wanted to watch two basketball games in a row during March Madness and in return he “owed me.” PERFECT!
