John Pennekamp turns 50 and celebrates all the wonders of this amazing state park in the Florida Keys. I discovered this park in 1980 when I came to go scuba diving on its many reefs. Now that the park is turning 50, it looks as good now as it did way back when. The park has so much to do that we wrote a story on the park and all it has to offer, from snorkeling, which many people do,…

Disney World is not only for children but for adults too. My wife loves what ever Disney has to offer, so I had to surprise her with a Disney World weekend for her birthday.

Key Largo has many choices to eat and drink but one of my favorite places to go is Mrs Macs Kitchen in Key Largo. You may get fooled by looking at the building on the outside but you will know the food is really good and tasty because of the crowds for lunch and dinner. Its worth the wait because the menue selection is really big and varied from delicious sandwiches, fresh fish, and angus steaks. Plus the service is…

Its a great place to watch nature at work, with blowing and slashing water. The preserve was named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline – the largest on the U.S. Atlantic coast.
