Fort Pierce, Florida

We own a condo in Ft. Pierce so here are a few pictures of that area. One great thing about Fort Pierce is that the Navy Seals started there so make sure you check out the Navy Seal Museum.

If you would like to see what and where we ate while in Ft. Pierce.

John and I are huge supporters of our military and this museum is an excellent one to visit.

Portland, Oregon

July 13, 2017
Today we flew into Portland, Oregon to take the scenic drive to Walla Walla, Washington to visit friends of ours. The ride was pretty the different landscapes were amazing and picturesque. It took us three hours to get to Walla Walla which wasn’t too bad.

Today we checked out of our hotel in Walla Walla and headed back to Portland. We had some time to spare, so we decided to check out the Booneville Lock & Dam which was cool. After that, we decided to check out the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area which had a fantastic waterfall.

Montauk – The End of Long Island

Montauk is my absolute favorite place to visit. I can’t explain it but I just feel so great whenever we are there. Most people hear about the Hamptons but this is my go-to place. Unfortunately, it has become a popular vacation spot and it’s much busier.

Jones Beach Air Show – May 28, 2011

Every year on memorial day weekend there is an air show at Jones Beach. John and I have both been to several air shows. We both love them and they are very entertaining.

Disney World – Orlando, Florida

Every year since 2009 – Since John and I met.

John and I own a Disney World timeshare and believe me we get good use out of it especially now that we live in Florida we are season pass holders. We try and visit two-three times a year. We love hanging out at Epcot and going around the world trying all the different restaurants which are top notch. If you are interested in any recommendations since we are semi-pros, please message me, and I will be glad to help you out.

The pictures on this blog are not in any specific order. I hope you enjoy them

Cape Canaveral, Florida

February 7, 2010
Today we saw the last night time shuttle and, it was the first time John and I saw a shuttle take off. It was spectacular to see how the sky lit up once the shuttle started to take off.

Savannah, Georgia

December 27, 2009
John and I decided to take a road trip with Alx & Gabby to spend Christmas and New Years in Florida. Along the way, we decided to stop and spend a few days in pretty Savannah.

December 28, 2009
We decided to do a Haunted House Tour which was informative and fun they picked us up from the hotel in a hearse which added to the spookiness of it at nighttime.

December 29, 2009
Today we toured the city on a horse-drawn carriage which was also very informative and pleasant. Since we were leaving in the morning, we decided to take it easy and have dinner close to the hotel.

Key West, Florida

October 22nd – 26th, 2014

We were invited to our friend Nano Lopez’s art show at the James Coleman Gallery in Key West. When we booked the hotel, we booked it in advance, and the receptionist had told us we got the last room. John and I thought that was odd and asked the person if there was some convention going on and she said no it’s Fantasy Fest which happens every year.

As the days went on, we started noticing people dressed in risqué clothing and then our friends told us that this weekend at Fantasy Fest you make your fantasy come true whatever it may be. This was the best people watching EVER!!!!

We had a blast with our friends and three new artists we met. Not to name drop (but I will lol) if you know any of them they were all pretty cool and it was an honor to get a chance to hang out with such talented people. James & Lori Coleman, Bill Mack and his wife and Anna Sweet’s mom Connie Sweet.
