93/365 - Downtown Mt. Dora

With my parents in town, we went to explore downtown Mt. Dora. It was a beautiful day and we had a fantastic time.

I love these old buildings - the tile is gorgeous!







I also love how the city has partnered with local business to beautiful with plants and flowers.



Loved this little display



The purple lantana was gorgeous too!





My beautiful mom in front of the lantana



Matt chillin



We even spotted Ashley's corner - for my brother's girlfriend



Really loved this cute little sign



To make you think....



Still not sure what this odd little creation is



Love the old typewriter



My dad noticed that the sign was posted missing an S. It's completely not there - not just rubbed off, not there.

Later we did some geocaching near Lake Dora



Check out this gorgeous wood boat!



While we only successful on 2 out of 3 caches - we did get a chance to see this very cool sight. A mother and father goose and their nest with three eggs in it!

Here is mama with her nest







The nest


Mama and Daddy walking around warning everyone to stay away


We ended up at the Tiki Hut on Lake Minneola for dinner. It's one of the best places to for sunset, the food is great too!

17/365 A full day!

Today we spent the whole day hanging out and doing fun things together in celebration of my family being here and my birthday.

he day began with geocaching. We found a couple of really clever ones!

Check out this one my mom is next too. It's a fake tree branch that flips open. Took us FOREVER to find.

Leaving some swag

After lunch, we hit some more caches. Here are the bunch of Travel Bugs we dropped off (after having them way tooooooooooooo long).

David going through another cache

Mom and dad had already found this one, so they enjoyed the view.

This was part of the cache - very clever!

The final cache of the day - up high on a hill just as the sun was setting.

My goofy brother

Every once in a while I can get some good photos of him...

My amazing in-laws gifted me with a lights and backdrop set. I'm still learning how to use them, but today was the first time they were set up

And my parents were my first victims

My birthday cake! Matt did the writing himself!
