Old Florida Trail

My daughters and I did this trip in December. We have a rental vacation home in Davenport and have placed it in our home for others to enjoy as well. We enjoyed seeing more to Florida then Disney/Universal. The locations are a fair distance drive from Davenport, however it was a great time to spend some quality time with my girls.

So many great discoveries!

I had a really great time exploring parts of Florida a bit off the beaten path. Definitely would not have thought of checking out some of these places on my own. So much history!
