About 20 miles west of Orlando in Clermont, lies the quaint Lake Louisa State Park. In my book this state park is hidden gem. Not because it is super fancy, or has a special attraction, but because it is full of wildlife and just about the closest you can get to the “real” Florida without leaving
On my last trip to Disney Springs, I came across D-Luxe Burger, which is right in the heart of Town Center.

I am sure living in Orlando, most of us have visited Gatorland at least once or twice. But when was the last time you have been there? Until recently, I probably hadn’t been there in about 10 years. Wow, have things changed! I have to admit, in the early 1990’s I worked at Gatorland

Just a little north of Orlando is the quaint community of Mount Dora. Mount Dora has many, many fabulous places to visit for a dinner, a day or a weekend. One of its most humble spots is Renningers Flea Market and Antique Market. Situated right off of 441 you can’t really miss Renningers as you
