Another fun day in sunny Florida. But really, are there any other kind??
*Went for a nearly morning swim. Can’t believe just how warm the water can be!! You can simply walk right in. Must look at the temperature to see just how warm the water is!!
*People seem to be very health conscious down here in […]
For our last day in Port Charlotte, we are going to take it easy. Just a nice relaxing day high above the ocean in a 1940’s era open cockpit airplane. We’ve toured the Gulf Coast by water and car, now we take to the sky with Classic Air Ventures.
If you’re not much of a […]
Now I’m not a golfer, and I’m quite proud of that, but as I keep saying “When on vacation you have to try new and wonderful things”, so strap on your hard hats and bring your sence of humor, today we’re going golfing.
Lemon Bay is a pure golf course, not a real estate course. […]
Most people go to Florida for three reasons (although there are many more)
1. Disney World
2. Margaritas (This is actually my Mom’s #1 reason)
3. Beaches
So today we are going to play typical tourist and head off to the beach. Charlotte Country has some of the most beautiful coast lines in Florida, so there’s no disapointing anyone […]
Today is a day for buying those vacation t-shirts you scratch your head about when you get home. Fisherman’s Village is a great little spot overlooking the ocean where you can buy all the aligator figurines your heart desires. While wondering around don’t miss The Serious Cookie Company, if you can walk out of that […]
Today we spend the day with Florida’s wildlife at the Peace River Wildlife Center. You’ll never know what you’ll run into during the tour, but that’s what makes it fun.
Tucked neatly into the mangroves overlooking Charlotte Harbor is the Peace River Wildlife Center — a rescue, rehabilitate and release facility for locally injured and orphaned […]
Normaly I’m not a big beach fan! Hundreds of people lying around baking in the hot sun, is not my idea of fun, but when I read about this tour, it sounded promising. A boat ride, and a dolphin sight-seeing tour sounded good, but the part that really caught my attention was exploring a private […]
This month we are heading to a quite little coastal town of Port Charlotte, Florida. When most of us think Florida, we naturaly think Orlando. As great as Orlando is, sometimes you want a little peace and quiet and Port Charlotte is one of Florida’s hidden jewells!
Now when I say quiet, I mean the […]
I went looking for this map as much for myself as for you. I wanted to see just how close *our house actually was to Punta Gorda. (See top of map) A few years ago, Hurricane Charlie missed us (Port Charlortte) by about 8 miles and took out most of Punta Gorda instead. We […]
“Areas damaged by Charley take another hit.
A tornado ripped through Port Charlotte on Wednesday evening, further damaging areas hit by Hurricane Charley less than two years ago.
The tornado damaged homes, knocked down power lines and sparked several small fires from Harborview Road through central Port Charlotte. The storm, which moved through shortly after a bright […]
