Siesta Key, FL
What We Did While staying in Orlando, we did a day trip to Siesta Key. Growing up we visited Siesta Key often. It was so fun to be able to visit again. We packed picnics and drove the 2.5 hours to Siesta Key from Orlando. We parked at the Siesta Key main beach parking lot, because we wanted to have access to restrooms and showers. We ate our picnic lunches in the parking lot and then hit the beach. This beach is beautiful. It is so wide! The sand is powdery white. We spent several hours playing, swimming, and relaxing on the beach. Where We Stayed This visit was a…

We visited Erin McKenna’s bakery before the show to gather some gluten and dairy free snacks for our room. Then we headed over to the stage and found seats. Our girls’ group’s…

Duckpin Bowling Fountain Square
In March, 2022 we visited a local place I had wanted to see for a long time. We went duckpin bowling at the Fountain Square Theatre in Indianapolis! Duckpin bowling is like typical bowling except the balls are much smaller and lighter. The balls are more like the size of a large grapefruit than a typical bowling ball. This makes it easier for kids or people who may struggle managing an 8 pound or heavier bowling ball. They had two different places for bowling. At the time of our visit one was in use for a corporate event. The area where we were bowling has a very retro feel. It…
