Recap of my Trip Part 3

We begin day three with a little trip to Eustis, Florida.

As we were walking down the street, my eye was immediately drawn to this antique mail box. How cool is this??


I believe this cool community stage (and swimming pool in the back) are from the 1920s.





Peter read a review in the paper about this place so we decided to try it.


The view from our table...awesome.

This sandwich was GOOD!


After lunch, we explored a bit of Eustis...then drove to Mount Dora to window shop and see the lighting of the Christmas lights.


This hotel, The Lakeside Inn, is over 100 years old.




I think this would be a cool place to stay!


View from the lobby...




I've been to Mount Dora before and really love it there because
of all the old buildings.


Looks like a neat place to have some coffee!


Naturally, I fell head over heals in love with this house.






We decided to give our feet a rest and have some dinner while we waited for it to get dark. We went into a pub for a quick dinner which turned out to be not so quick but the chili was good. And warm!


We continued window shopping and you know me, I had to take pictures of things that caught my eye. Yes, E.T. was for sale. I never thought of E.T. as a Christmas decoration...
 

Now these were funny! I almost bought a set!


The tropical theme of this tree really made me smile!

There were literally thousands of lights all over town...



Here's that gorgeous house again!






Well that's it for day three!

It's not even 11 and your post made me hungry! Love the details of your photos - the mailbox, the retro stage, and of course the food!

What a beautiful trip. Been awhile since I've taken an actual vacation, and this gets me thinking.

Really dig the the antique letter box.

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
