Out and About in Kissimmee: Part I

Our recent move to Kissimmee (Orlando) area will give us plenty of opportunities to visit and check out new places. Besides all things Disney, there’s Universal Studios, Sea World, Discovery Cove and of course the Tupperware Confidence Center! But before we can begin our explorations, we must first explore the DMV, local stores, salons and restaurants.

While I thought for sure our first exploration of the area would be the Tupperware Confidence Center, we headed to Winter Park instead! But only because the Center was not open on the day we were able to be out and about! Winter Park is a cute town, especially in the historic area. We started with the Farmer’s Market, where we enjoyed waffles smothered with fresh strawberries (me) and bananas (Karen). Then we walked along a few of the city streets and checked out various shops. We even managed to get in a pedicure for Karen and a manicure for me! Afterwards, as we drove away from the downtown area, we stopped at a diner for a late lunch.

Another exciting development is that we decided to buy a Sea World season pass. We’ve never really been to Orlando’s Sea World and the pass allows us to attend several of the special events so we felt it was a good idea. We plan to make that our next excursion when Karen has her next day off.

As has happened with most people, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and our plans. It left us little time to wander about our new area before shutting everything down. Once the threat passes, and we are ‘back to normal’, we will once again be out and about and writing about it. In the meantime, everyone please take care of yourself and your loved ones, buy only what you need, and most of all remember to be kind to others. I’ll be back soon with more travels and pictures!
