Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Wherever we go next....thanks to Trekaroo, I always have a great group of reviews to help me plan a fantastic vacation!
A Place We'd Love To Visit
During the winter, anywhere with snow and easy airport access :-)
Favorite Vacation Memory
One of my favorite vacation memories was seeing my daughter splashing in the Boca Beach Club kiddie pool.
Also, the first time she saw snow in Park City, Utah at the Park City Mountain Resort. She's still talking about ski school years later!
Visiting Cancun! We recently visited Miami and explored South Beach, South Miami and Coral Gables. We also visited Innisbrook Golf Resort and Spa near Tampa Bay, Florida. Be sure to read my reviews about the resort and their Indaba Spa. What an amazing experience!
Also, a holiday in France (wonderful home exchange--thanks for the ideas on Trekaroo!)
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Dangerous weather conditions or any other unexpected airport delay.
Security delays at the airport!

Christmas Tree Farms in Florida
Although there's plenty of sand in the Sunshine State, finding snow is a whole different story. Fortunately, you can trek to these Florida tree farms to cut your own Christmas tree. Please call the farms first to confirm hours, etc. Be sure to post your experiences and photos on Trekaroo. Happy Holidays!

"Great variety of u-pick goodies!"
This family farm has plenty of u-pick blackberries, strawberries, blueberries and veggies as well as a small farmers market with goodies already picked. They also sell a wide variety of fruit trees for planting in your own home garden.CHRISTMAS TREE FARM REVIEW
After visiting the tree farm website, we were really looking forward to making the drive north to Dade City to choose and cut our family Christmas tree. We drove past rolling hills (in most parts of Florida, hills are a rare find) and pastures and arrived at the bustling tree farm. There is a small field of Florida friendly trees ready for choosing and cutting. After exploring the fields, we noticed that the trees would not hold ornaments due to the dense foliage and also the light branches. So, we walked over to their covered tree lot which was full of beautiful trees fresh from North Carolina and Michigan tree farms. There are plenty of helpful staffers ready to assist families with their dream tree search. They all gently discouraged cutting our own tree since those trees do not hold ornaments well. We chose a lovely Frasier Fir tree and the very helpful farm hands quickly prepared our tree for the journey back home. They shook off the loose needles, bagged the tree and even wrapped the stump in plastic so the sap would not get on our car. Overall, the experience was interesting but I doubt that we would make the 50 mile drive for a tree that we could have easily bought at a tree lot here in town. Happy Holidays!
