Last year, I had concerns about the possibility of our trip to Europe being ruined by a sprained ankle, given all the uneven surfaces […]

We had the best date night at the Central Park Holiday Lights in Lake Mary, Florida! Central Park is next to some very nice little restaurants. We’re in love with the menu and food at Lonnie’s Fusion Cuisine so we stopped in there first for dinner. Lonnie’s is a fairly small place, with only five […]
