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).

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!
