Day 282 – Congo River Mini Golf in Altamonte Springs FL

Congo River Mini Golf

Mini Golf is always a fun activity. I can’t remember when was the last time though that I actually played mini golf. It must have been years… So I was even happier when the idea was brought up, and of course excited to be able to take some pictures for my blog.

We were quite lucky: it had just rained heavily and the air cooled off. Also, due to the earlier rain there were not many people (unusual for a Friday evening) so we didn’t have to wait at any point. And shortly after we left it actually started raining again. Talk about perfect timing

Throughout the course of the game I realized that I am not the best player… It was very fun though to at least try! I really like the theme of the Congo River mini golf course in Altamonte Springs (off 436). It’s nicely done and even though you are quite close to the road at some spots, you still feel a bit like on vacation when there. Consisting of 18 rounds you can run through a game with 4 players within about 1.5-2 hours, depending on your skills and on how long each player “plans” their game. I am quite impatient so I just started hitting the ball in the right direction and went from there…

The price seemed kind of high, we paid $50 for the four of us (Jose’s nephew and his girl friend were with us) but I think that is the going rate. At the end of your game though the staff tries to make sure you win a free game for the next time. So out of 4 tickets, 3 of us won a free game – not bad! Also, watch out for coupons before you go, I am sure there are some out there because we were asked repeatedly if we didn’t have any coupons with us…

Below are some more pictures of our fun evening of mini golf in Altamonte…

Day 281 – Brusters Ice Cream in Lake Mary FL

Brusters Ice Cream Lake Mary

Summer time is ice cream time! Well, in Florida, it’s actually ice cream time most of the time… My favorite ice cream place in the Sanford area is Brusters in Lake Mary (right off Lake Mary Boulevard). Their ice cream just tastes very fresh to me and I live the flavors. Jose is more a Coldstone Creamery guy but we can agree to alternate our ice cream visits…

Brusters also has a drive through (kind of funny because the last place I would like to eat ice cream is inside my car…) but I guess it makes sense if you just pick up a huge serving to share with everyone at home.

If you want to check out Brusters, here is their info:

Day 280 – David Maus Toyota in Sanford FL

David Maus Toyota Sanford FL

Every once in while I have to bring my beloved Toyota Corolla to service. Since I bought my car brand new at the end of 2005 (back then David Maus was still in his old Longwood location) I have been religiously following the scheduled service visits.

What I liked so much about Toyota when I bought my car was the fact that they were no pushy at all when it came to “negotiating the deal”. At this point I have to say that I much prefer CarMax attitude because their prices are what they are – take it or leave it. I am not the person that is up for games and bluffs, I like straight, honest business. Early on I knew that I wanted to buy a Toyota Corolla so before I visited David Maus I had been at Toyota dealerships all over town looking for my new car. The far worst experience was the one at Toyota on Colonial Drive. The sales person treated us very badly, even insulted Jose. It was the classic car dealer experience (I hate to say this because I am not trying to stereotype people here, but the car dealer there was wearing Cowboy boots, gold jewelry, including rings, had blond bleached hair and tanning salon skin). When that person got into a fight with us over floor mats (!) we left and turned down a pretty good deal – in fact, I believe the price was even slightly better than what I ended up paying later on. To me this wasn’t about money, it was about being treated with respect. I care much more about good service and I do have my pride!

Serice Center David Maus Toyota

The next experience was the dealer in East Orlando, not bad and also here we did negotiate a good deal but just didn’t feel it – I know it’s funny how it is when buying a car, you got to have that feeling that things are right. Much like buying a house in fact, I see that every day…

The Kissimmee dealership was great and I actually did find a great deal and car – just the way I wanted it. In fact, I had the paperwork signed! But then they messed up and told me that they had “accidentally” sold my car already. Since they didn’t have the same model in the same color (back then Corollas were selling like crazy!) I decided to wait. I could have left a deposit and then go back to Kissimmee (as you know quite a drive from Sanford) the following week to pick up my car but the moment was just over…

So last but not least, on a cold December night in 2005 we went to David Maus Toyota (back then in Longwood). The sales person there was super nice and so was the sales manager. They didn’t push us in any way, were very respectful and also willing to negotiate a great deal. Financing was great too but I decided to pay the car in full after a couple of months. And also now, 4 years later, the service hasn’t changed. The David Maus Toyota location in Sanford is a huge state of the art facility with a very comfortable customer waiting area. They are right by the mall. They also offer a free shuttle to the mall in case you get bored waiting at their facility – rarely happens to me since they have WiFi and a nice little coffee shop with Tvs.

Lots of Cars at David Maus Toyota

All in all, if you are looking to buy a Toyota in the Central Florida area I can highly recommend David Maus Toyota. I hope I can drive my car for a long time to come. In less than 4 years I have put about 70,000 miles on it already (I think though that is pretty average for working in real estate, we drive A LOT) but if I keep treating my car well I am sure it will last at least another 70,000 without a problem

Happy 4th of July!

Wekiva Falls 4th of July Celebration, Sorrento FL

I think this is a great idea for a 4th of July celebration: Visit the Wekiva Falls resort by Sorrento (click here to read more about Wekiva Falls) to enjoy a day by the Wekiva River and huge pool/lake. There will be a DJ for music and a fireworks around 9pm. Kayaking, canoeing and all the other fun activities are available that day and in case you want to stay over night you can camp here too.

Bring a blanket and sit down in the park as you observe the fireworks. The event is an annual tradition in Orlando (this year celebrating its 32nd anniversary) I have attended this event in the past and felt it was a bit too crowded. No wonder, over 100,000 people attend every year. Parking can be quite complicated so try to get there as early as possible – and expect to face some traffic when leaving! Very conveneint though this year: since the 4th is a Saturday (and most of us don’t have to work on Sunday), just plan to stay downtown for one of the many 4th of July parties in the clubs and bars or for the block party on Wall Street (see below).

Day 279 – Meeting Shaquille O’Neal

Meeting Shaquille O'Neal in Lake Mary

Oh yes, it’s true – and here’s the proof: we met Shaquille O’Neal to show him one of our listings in Lake Mary! I still can’t believe it!!! This totally made my day

When he called we first couldn’t believe it, thought someone was playing a joke on us. But we went to meet him anyway and, sure enough, there he was Shaquille O’Neal, the famous basketball player! He is a very nice guy, totally down to earth and we enjoyed meeting him. What else can I say – I am speechless (and so glad I always have my camera with me!) …

Day 278 – Orlando Skyline from Colonial Drive Exit on I-4

Partial Skyline of Orlando FL

I always wonder how I could possibly take a good shot of the Orlando skyline but it seems very difficult. So today I just tried to take one from the car as I was waiting to exit I-4 at the Colonial Drive Exit. Let’s see where I can find a better spot without risking to be run over by a car I will keep searching…

Day 277 – Wekiva Falls

Wekiva Falls Resort

One of the best (and very affordable) activities for a summer weekend is visiting Wekiva Falls Resort in Lake County (Sorrento) – not to be confused with Wekiva Springs in Longwood, FL. It is actually only a short drive away from Sanford (10 minutes from mall area) but canoeing on the Wekiva River will make you feel as close to Florida’s nature as you could possibly be.

The Wekiva Falls Resort is actually an RV resort and great spot for camping. At the Wekiva Falls Resort you can enjoy:

• RV Camping
• Tent Camping
• Swimming
• Picnic Areas
• Beaches
• Volleyball
• Logaoon Slides
• Biking
• Nature Trails
• Canoeing
• River Cruises
• Kayaking
• Fishing
• Boat Launch
• Bait & Tackle

So we decided to go there on Sunday to do some canoeing on the Wekiva River and afterward hang out by the huge pool like lake with water slide. Since I have previously only has experience with kayaking I wasn’t too afraid of canoeing – little did I know how shaky the canoe can get. Not sure if the reason was that I sat in the middle of a 3 person canoe or maybe canoes are just shaky in general? Anyway, it didn’t take longer than 5 minutes until the 3 of us landed IN the river! We tried to avoid a tree that “suddenly” appeared in front of us and, of course, all leaned to ONE side of the boat. Luckily we were still close to a shore and were able to turn the canoe back over and get all the water out of it – only took 5 minutes. I have to say I was pretty mad – not because I was soaking wet (it actually felt very refreshing with temperatures close to 100) but because I am terrified of alligators and there ARE alligators along the river. Yes, they are afraid of people and all, but knowing that they are in nesting season right now makes me wonder, what if we accidentally step a bit too close into a gator’s territory? Well, I don’t want to ever try that… We learned from our mistake though and managed to stay ON the boat for the next 2 hours enjoying the amazing beautiful nature that surrounded us! If you are not absolutely terrified of alligators you have to try this! And there is an alternative to canoeing: a river cruise on a larger boat. I will opt for kayaking next time though. Being closer to the water actually gives you more balance…

After our little adventure on the Wekiva River we moved over to the lake/pool and cooled off a bit. The water has a high percentage of sulfur so be prepared for it to be a bit smelly. You get used to that though. There was a live DJ who played some good up beat music and had some games prepared. You can barbecue and just enjoy the day by the lake/pool/river shores. Of course, being a Sunday and being Father’s Day it got pretty busy but there is plenty of space for everyone.

The Wekiva River Resort is having a 4th of July event and we are thinking about celebrating there. It’s an all day event with lots of music, games and prizes. Fireworks start at 9:30pm. I will post more details soon!

Here is their information and below some more pictures of our fun day by the river:

Day 276 – Lake Forest Community Entry Area

Brick Archway by Lake Forest Sanford

Just a snapshot of one of the brick archways in the community entrance area of Lake Forest in Sanford (right off highway 46 in Sanford FL, less than a mile from Exit 101 C, west of I-4). The community entrance area is beautiful (just as Lake Forest itself) and makes a nice spot for pictures.

Day 275 – Carlos’n Charlies Lake Mary Opening Party

Carlos'n Charlies Lake Mary

Yay! Carlos’n Charlies in Lake Mary (at Colonial Town Park) is finally open! Since Jose and I were assigned to help the manager find a home in Lake Mary/Sanford we met him early on and were invited to the grand opening VIP party (Friday June 19th)! The party was a great success – it started at 6pm for invited guests with free drinks (love their margaritas!) and opened for the public at 9pm. At that time people literally stormed the place – I think I wasn’t the only one that couldn’t wait for Carlos’n Charlies to open

We got to try some of their appetizers, lots of their drinks and experienced a great party night – this atmosphere is supposedly normal for any Carlos’n Charlies location but I heard their restaurants/bars in Cancun and Acapulco are the really wild ones – even though, there were several guests dancing on tables and chairs. The music was perfect: a mix of pretty much everything, all very up beat. Sing along classics, pop, Latin music and rock. So I am glad to announce: with Carlos’n Charlies, Lake Mary has a new party location – and pretty decent Mexican restaurant

Some quick facts:

• Carlos’n Charlies is not only open for dinner but also lunch with specials starting at $7.99.
• Happy Hour is every day from 3pm-7pm with $2 Margaritas and 50% off their wine.
• Thursday nights is FIESTA LATINA starting at 9pm with $2 Margaritas and $5 Mexican Appetizers.
• Vamonos Taqueria (also opening in Colonial Town Park soon) belongs to Carlos’n Charlies as well.

Day 274 – Photo Session with Kamran Malik

Photo Session with Kamran Malik

Today we met with Kamran Malik, a very talented photographer in Sanford for our first photo session. I took this shot during our session right by our office at Parkplace at Heathrow. Below you will find the results of this fun evening photo shoot – obviously all taken by Kamran himself I won’t take credit for those even though I wish I could take pictures like that

We are scheduled for some more shoots around Historic Sanford (can’t wait for that one because downtown Sanford is one of the best places in Central Florida to take pictures! So many beautiful spots, I expect it to be quite overwhelming), Winter Park and Downtown Orlando.

For ore info about Kamran Malik check out his web site here.
