Winter Park Chain of Lakes April 18
A beautiful hot Florida spring day. Perfect to enjoy the water and a fun super soaker kind of day. We put in at Fort Maitland Park, crossed Lake Maitland, through the Venetian Canal, across Lake Osceola, through the Fern Canal and finally to Dinky Dock on Lake Virginia. After a lunch break there we returned back the way we came through the canals but took a side detour past Kraft Azalea Gardens, under the bridge to the Isle of Sicily and across Lake Maitland again to the waterfall canal. This canal has a private home with a beautiful display of Chihuly blown glass art. The wind had picked up by now and the last leg of the trip across Lake Maitland was battling wind and waves. But we all arrived back safe and sound and having enjoyed the day.

ISLAND GROVE WINE COMPANY AT THE FLORIDA BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL 2015
Blueberry harvest shares stage with wildlife, natural wonders
~ As Florida’s strawberry harvest winds down, the packing houses turn their attention to home-grown blueberries.
And like the strawberry harvest, the berry growers of West Central Florida hate to miss an opportunity for a party as the harvest celebrations shift from Plant City to nearby Brooksville.
You don’t think of Florida as blueberry country, but the state is now eighth in the nation in blueberry production.Brooksville is the center of 15 Florida counties that grow blueberries. All are participating in this festival to celebrate the spring blueberry harvest.
The festival is the blue cousin to Plant City’s Florida Strawberry Festival (the 11-day March festival attracted a half-million people this year). The Florida Blueberry Festival in Brooksville (two days) is much smaller, attracting an estimated 40,000 last year.
The Florida Blueberry Festival is April 11 and 12, 2015, under the shade of the gnarly oak trees on the courthouse lawn in

It’s not all beaches here in the 55+ communities of Vero Beach FL
If you are one of those active individuals who do not let your ages decide what you can and should do, I suggest going down to the water recreation in the Indian River lagoon and do some water skiing, diving, or kayaking. Just be careful though! And if you’re ever in the mood for just a cruise, you can also do some boating and fishing here.
Now, if you are more of a relaxed and chill person, don’t worry! You can also find restaurants and museums here. They also have awesome events; one in particular is the Crown Jewel Marching Band Festival which is held every year during October. Definitely a must watch!
