There are very few activities that just scream SUMMERTIME, and baseball is one of them! I have fond memories of going to Daytona Cubs games (now the Tortugas) and relaxing in the summer evening eating hotdogs, and spitting sunflower seeds everywhere. Ok to the sunflower seed thing is a bit gross as an adult now, but as a kid it was awesome!
We have partnered with the Florida State League so you and your family can experience the joy that is baseball! To call this the minor leagues is a bit of an injustice. Each baseball game is filled with fun, excitement, and of course baseball! The Florida State League consists of multiple ball clubs throughout the state that are affiliated with major league ball clubs.
The beauty of the Florida State League is that you can be watching baseball’s next big star! Spanning across the state, there is almost always a ball club within a short driving distance. Courtesy of the Florida State League we are giving away a family 4 pack of general admission tickets to one home game of the team of your choice! That’s right, you can pick from any of the teams listed below. The winner will need to let us know which team you would like to visit and provide three potential dates that would work with your schedule. We will do our best to work with the FSL to get your first pick!
You can view all the teams and schedules at their website: fslbaseball.com Continue reading
Let me take a moment to paint a picture for you. Long before I became a resident and an honorary Floridian, my family would take vacations to Florida. One of my earliest memories as a boy was packing into the truck and heading to the Kennedy Space Center! There I was, a young boy with space on his mind and a love of everything NASA related! In fact my parents still have a few of the NASA Magnets on their fridge from our visit.

If you’re more of a contest type of person, don’t worry, they have you covered as well. The 2016 Florida Strawberry Festival features all sorts of competitive fun! Don’t miss the corn dog, spaghetti, and short-cake eating contests, (No they are not all a single contest!) or see just how many strawberries it’s possible to stem. If you don’t want to participate in the competitive eating fun, grab a single serve strawberry shortcake and enjoy the show.
