Homosassa springs

Great spot for the family. Deer gators hipps.

fun spot for family and for nightlife!

Skipper's Smokehouse is a must...at least once...when visiting the Tampa area.  On most weekends, they have great live entertainment, and offer a super-casual, eclectic, atmosphere.  No need to dress up here...it is as laid back as it gets, but the food is great and cold beer is on tap.  I loved the grouper sandwich, which has been featured on Man vs Food!

Our family went on a Saturday at lunch.  Not much of a crowd, and we had great service.  The best part?  Our kids could run around the property and check out all the unique surroundings without us having to worry.  Eye candy for all ages....antiques, relics, funky décor, you name it...

The only downside?  It's kinda in the middle of nowhere....so if you drink, take a taxi or carpool, and be prepared for a fun time!

hair salon in Tampa Bay

I've started going to a new hair salon in the Tampa Bay area.  The salon is located in the Seminole Heights area of Tampa, which is an up and coming area of local restaurants, shabby chic clothes/furniture stores, antiques...an eclectic mix of old and new. 

The staff are welcoming and friendly, and the salon also boasts wine tastings during a service.  The décor of the renovated house is fun and funky.  Most importantly, I've had a great experience with my cut/color appointments at an affordable price! 

Danielle, my stylist, has been great.
