My favorite rides: - Jurassic river adventure - safe to say you get soaked! - the velocicoaster: this is craziest ride I’ve ever been on! So fast and the twists and turns are insane. - hagrids motorbike ride! The drop and going backwards is really a shock every time. #orlando #rides #

Florida Maritime Museum Pulled off the road on my way home from Anna Maria Island to check this out! The inner museum is currently under renovation, but the outside sculptures, gardens, artifacts, and info plaques are open to the public to explore! This is right by Anna Maria island, and I’ll

Holmes Beach There are several beach entrances with parking - it can definitely fill up though, so I went on a weekday. If you go on a weekend and are driving arrive in the morning for sure. The water is so clear and warm, and the beach is absolutely beautiful. Lots of turtle nests and sea

Myakka Elephant Ranch This was a dream come true!!! All the elephants (6 on site) are rescues born in captivity from circus and movie industries, and now reside at the ranch. They were adorable, and the cost of the tour and experience ($45) goes towards conservation and caring for them. The

The Streets at Southpoint Shop, hang out, and eat at Southpoint. This is my local mall so I grew up going here. Personally I love the outdoor section, and there is also an AMC theater. The food court indoors is pretty expansive too, and there are lots of good shopping options since lots of stor

Bean Traders My order: Cool cat bagel, chocolate chunk scone, iced mocha I love the vibe of this place - it’s always busy, and the options (waffles, bagels, pastries, so many coffees). Stopped today en route to the airport and had a delicious breakfast! #ThingsToDo #lemon8challenge

Silverspot Cinema Went to go see The Phoenician Scheme with my family for Father’s Day here. The seats are so comfy, and if you are okay sitting in row one are full on recliners with leg rests. You can get food and drinks delivered directly to your seat and the theater has a bar to chill at b

Obsessed with these cinnamon rolls. Nothing beats a southern breakfast :) @Lemon8 Food #southerncooking #nc #chapelhill #cinnamonrolls

This is my favorite spot for a picnic, stroll, or photoshoot. The arboretum is beautiful with lots of benches, little rivers, and so many native plants and flowers. My favorite spot is right outside the walled in gardens and is the little shrine pictured in the 4th slide - I’m not sure what it is t

Morehead Planetarium and Science Center If you are a space nerd like me you will love it here 🔭🪐🛰️🌠I saw the cosmic colors show - and tickets are very cheap for students (we paid $5 for person!), and the staff are so knowledgeable. The planetarium also has a telescope used for research, and hos
