New Year in Universal Orlando Happy 2023
This weekend I went to Universal Orlando with my mom and my brother. We thought we were going to have the park to ourselves. Turns out we were wrong. We started the trip on Friday, in order to be inside the park on Saturday. It took us about 6 hours to get to our Hotel in Kissimmee. There was a lot of traffic, and all the rest stops were full. This was but a hint of what was to come. I am not going to rant about the hotel. That is a topic for a different blog. Once we were...
Mattheessen’s Homemade Café de Paris Review
I was down in the Florida Keys with my family. I was itching to eat a bit of ice cream. So, I went into this shop. It was near our parking spot. I do not like to eat food while standing, for so convenience’s sake I gave this shop a chance. The first thing I noticed was the smell of freshly baked cookies. The cookies where quite big, and they came in a decent variety of flavors. I came in there for the ice cream, so that is what I went to look at. I liked that they had Dulce...
The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory Xmas Review
A few days ago, I went with my family to the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. We had not visited the place since January 2021. In my first visit, I made a video about the Butterfly Conservatory. This time I wanted to make a in depth blog about the place. I express myself better in writing. The Conservatory has two parts. It has the gift shop and the butterfly preserve. The gift shop went ham with the Christmas decorations. It was pretty cool! Unlike the first time I visited, the place was full of costumers. Parents kept coming...
Cuban Coffee Queen in Key West Foodie Blog
I was down in the Florida Keys with my mother and brother. While roaming about, we decided to take a snack break. The place we chose to snack at was called Cuban Coffee Queen. The workers of the restaurant spoke French. Regardless, they knew how to make a good Cuban coffee, at least according to mother. I never developed the taste for coffee. I looked through the menu and I chose a Mango smoothie. I also wanted a croissant, but they were all out of it. My mother had a Guava Sandwich and my brother had a Cuban Mix. I...
Chesapeake Resort Second Visit Review
At the last moment, we got an offer to stay at this resort for one night for 200 bucks. It seemed like too much of a sweet deal to pass up, so we drove down to Islamorada. We had already been there before, so there aren’t that many new things for me to tell you about. This time they gave us a room with a door that closed. So, that was an improvement from the last visit. We spent the entire time in the pool. There was a floater that someone had left behind. We used it for a...
