Our visit to Mount Dora, Florida in February

In February we had chance to visit very charming little town in central Florida. Mount Dora sits on a little mound (I guess) surrounded by many lakes. There are plenty of antique shops, gourmet restaurants, but we decided to drive around to check out local landscape. 

                           {spanish moss everywhere and reminds me little bit of Halloween}

                                                                     {spooky trees}

                                                        {of course always climbing}

                                                              {always video recording:-)}

                                             ...it doesn't matter where you go in life
                                                 what you do or how much you have
                                                     it's who you have beside you.

                        {we had the pleasure of enjoying the most beautiful sunset in the world!}

Isabella's and mama's little big adventures to Florida

Here are some more pictures of our recent trips to Florida. It was about 16 hours (one way) continuous driving time.

we stopped frequently to stretch our legs

 ...to play little bit

...to eat @ IHOP

 

 Isabella have been remarkably well- behaved. She watched movies, played with her dolls...

...slept in the car

Driving through bible belt Tennessee was interesting mostly because there were tons of freeway signs advertising various forms of adult entertainment: adult video stores, adult toy stores next to large crosses or churches.

 ...finally at the hotel in Fort Lauderdale

 

 so nice to relax after long drive

 Isabella decorated our hotel room with her art

 

 Hello ocean!

 aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....serenity in Key Biscane

Gazing at trees (even through a window while at work) lowers anxiety at any time ~ Tokyo Medical University

 Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is the home of a historic lighthouse built in 1825

 Park ranger did not let us go up in the lighthouse, because Isabella was not 8 years old :-(

 

Crandon Beach has been ranked one of the Top 10 Beaches in the U.S. A

..it was cloudy day, but still very warm and pleasant

  

so peaceful....no people at the beach...just Isabella and I

 everyday we went to the beach..

...picked seashells

... we build sand castles

 

 

  

...watched crashing huge waves

sometimes days were cloudy, but water always was very warm that we still could go for a swim ;-)

 

 ...did some wind surfing

 those birds were very sneaky in trying to steel a fish

 

 Isabella's happy face

 spooky tree @ Hugh Taylor Birch Park

Florida's parks are full a lot of friendly racoons

 

 ...not so friendly vulchers

..neutral seagulls

 

Florida's art festivals full of strange dogs and their owners

 Isabella with her art festival friends

 ...it's time to go home after wonderful vacation in sunny Florida

                                                                           XOXO,
