Labor Day is that spot on the calendar that tells American’s that summer has ended, school is back in secession and we start looking forward to fall. Autumn is by far my favorite season of them all. Living in Central Florida, we get to enjoy fall much longer than those that live in the Northern […]
One thing that Florida is known for is their Lightning. The state has more lightning than all the other states combined with a whopping 25.3 strikes per square mile and 1.45 million lightning strikes each year, on average. Central Florida is the most lightning prone area in the United States with about 90 thunderstorm days a year. […]
We’d only been back from Minnesota long enough to catch up on emails, get our business caught up at the Low-Key Hideaway and get our clothes washed before we were leaving for Louisiana. I don’t know if you’d call this one a vacation since we’d be babysitting the entire time. Seeing the Grandkids and getting […]
After the last two days of partying, we were in need of some recovery. With today being Julene’s 50th, it didn’t mean we’d be lying in bed sipping Camomile Tea, but hopefully we wouldn’t be partying for 15 hours straight. The perfect recovery from a few days partying with the Smigiel’s is spending it on the […]
Waking up to the feeling that I’ve made it to 40! Wow, who would have ever thought I’d make it this far in life? Not me, that’s for sure, especially after last night. Check out wasn’t until noon, which was perfect since no one in our party was up and moving all that early. Cindy […]
We try and visit our great friends Derrick and Tish as often as possible. They usually come during the winter months to escape the frozen tundra of Minnesota and we try and get away for a week or so during our hot, muggy late summer months. Although the last time we visited them, it was […]
The past few weeks have been non-stop busy before we leave for a weeks vacation to head up to Minnesota to visit Derrick and Tish and celebrate my 40th Birthday. We had a ton of fun with the 4th of July weekend and stayed crazy busy here at the Motel and the Hideaway Tiki Bar. […]
I’ve always believed that if you work your butt off, then you should treat yourself to something fun as a reward. That old motto of Work Hard, Play Hard Last week, Cindy and I took a few days off before the 4th of July weekend knowing full well that when we returned, we’d be slammed […]
I guess we didn’t realize how lucky we were the last two days until we were woken up this morning. The past two days spent at Blue Springs Campground we basically had the entire thing to ourselves. At its busiest point yesterday there might have been 10 people total in the springs. The water was […]
Waking to rain on the camper roof, I was worried it would be another day of huddling in the camper to stay out of the weather. Cindy woke up and made us some coffee and while we were sitting outside under the awning, the rain slowly stopped and the skies cleared up. The radar showed […]
