The drive was a little further than I anticipated (2 hours for me) but it was worth it. Prior to the tour I didn't know anything about Fellsmere but by the time I finished my tour I was in love with the town. Larry Lawson who operates the tour is an ex cop. I like how he approaches his investigations as someone who is collecting evidence to prove or disapprove. The tour began at 7 PM at the Fellsmere City Hall which is a historic building that used to be a school. The building may be haunted as we heard banging in the elevator area during our talk. The people at the top of the stairs swore they heard footsteps in the hall behind them even though our group were the only people in the building. From city hall we walked in a circle through Fellsmere. It is very dark at night but Larry and his son and nephew took the utmost care to keep everyone safe. Other sites we visited on the tour were the Marsh Landing, The Fellsmere Inn, and the Marian Fell Library. The city of Fellsmere lets Larry have a key to all of the public buildings which was very cool. Along the way we learned about the history of Fellsmere and different paranormal experiences people have had. The tour was not hokey but very informative for a history lover such as myself. The tour concluded at the City Hall where Larry and his family let everyone play with their ghost hunting equipment. A lady showed me a spike she was getting next to an old desk in an alcove next to the stage. Everyone looked like they were having a great time and you could here a startled scream from time to time echo through the hallway. Larry also offers a tour of Vero Beach. He will also be leading tours during the Treasure Coast History Festival in downtown Fort Pierce in January. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Treasure Coast and I enjoyed talking to him. You can see dates of tours on Facebook. You can just show up for a tour or make a reservation. I opted to just show up since I live so far away and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. There was no problem with just dropping in and our tour numbered around 20 people who were super friendly. The tour only cost $12 which was super cheap for the two plus hours we spent with him. If you are in the area take a tour and even if you aren't it's worth a drive.

Old Northwood is one of Palm Beaches oldest neighborhoods. It consists of over 320 buildings from…read morethe 1920's. This event included a food and house tour of the neighborhood. I was so impressed by how well put together the tour was. Unfortunately I found out about the tour after it was sold out. I still followed the Facebook page however and the morning of the event messages started popping up from people who couldn't make it and had to sell their tickets. I was able to secure three VIP tickets that included the tastings at the restaurants and the home tour. the VIP ticket was $75 and the home tour alone was $35. If you can swing the extra money for the VIP ticket that is definitely the way to go. The VIP ticket included food and drink pairings from seven restaurants in the Old Northwood District. The restaurants on the tour included Bistro Bistro Cafe, Malakor Thai Cafe, Cafe Centro, Mestizo Peruvian Restaurant, Grilled Cheese Gallery, Sunset Bar and Grill, and Table 427. The night started with wine and cookies at the Circa Who furniture store. There was free parking in a lot only a few feet from the store. All of the food and drinks I sampled were wonderful. The restaurants were so welcoming and I enjoyed everything. I definitely want to go back to each restaurant and try more of their menu. I was beyond full by the time I finished the tasting tour. The second part of the evening was the house tour. A perk of the VIP ticket was a band that let you cut to the front of the line of the house tours. There were ten historic houses on the tours The ability to cut the line was fantastic because some of the lines were extremely long. Without the VIP ticket I am not sure that I would have made it to all of the houses. The houses were amazing and the owners were welcoming. My favorite houses were the mayor's known as the Mansion, the Mango Tango House which has an Airbnb out back, and #4 and #5 which are two properties that have been combined into one compound with six aviaries, a koi pond, and gardens. All of the houses were tastefully decorated for Christmas and they all served wine and water. In addition to the house tour there was entertainment in the form of Victorian carolers and a marching band. There was also a pop up shop selling merchandise. Snacks including churros, soft pretzels, and popcorn were dispensed on the street. Molly's Trolleys provided transportation up and down the street. I definitely feel that you get a value for your money with the VIP ticket. I wouldn't want to tour without it. We arrived at 2 and didn't get finished until past 8 so it was a very long afternoon/ night. This tour is very popular and the lines to get into houses got quite long so the ability to skip the line is critical to seeing everything. This event also sells out so start looking for tickets to be posted in September. According to my tour guide the houses and restaurants change every year so I will definitely be back. This was one of my favorite events that I attended this holiday season.

Each building has a sign with a QR code to scan that links to a short You Tube video elaborating on the people who lived in them and their stories. Even if it's a hot sunny day, there are multiple shady spots to sit like the rocking chair on the veranda or the air-conditioned church. You can actually walk in most of the buildings. My 12-year-old son's favorite areas were the Lanier house with it's rooster and hens walking and clucking around, the goat in the back of the house, and the knot-tying area in the exhibit on Florida's cowmen. At $4 for children $6 for adults (if you get a coupon from the Ocala History Center), this is an educational experience in a beautiful setting. You can also bike, walk, paddle, or picnic in nearby Shingle Creek Park when you are done.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Tour (which I will shorthand simply to the Lighthouse Tour) has been one of those "backyard adventures" I've been wanting to go on for the longest time. Eventually, I was able to partake in said adventure with my friends, Nate and Chops. Afterwards, I have to say that even for a probably "one-and-done" for a tour, it is definitely worth every penny spent. This tour was everything I wanted and loved, and it delivered. First and foremost, the actual business building for the Lighthouse Tour is nothing you have to worry about. According to all the tours, you will meet up at the Sands Space Museum and take a charter van to multiple locales on the tour. Before we get to the actual tour I partook in, it should be noted there are numerous tour options such as the museums alone, the lighthouse alone, or the full experience. Prices range from $35 (lighthouse only) to $65 (full tour). I went with the latter which includes numerous museums, historic launch sites, and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. It should also be noted that the more you do, the longer the tour. The full tour is four hours long. Please take note the things you need to check before the tour such as wearing shoes if you plan to walk up the five floors of the lighthouse, small bags allowed with small closed-contained foods and drinks only. Finally, you need to fill out a clearance check as all the stops, with the exception of Sands Space Museum, is on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Military Base. With those in mind, the full tour - known as the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Space Flight Tour - is all the stops if possible. I say "if possible" because some stops may be closed for maintenance or upgrades. For us, The Sands Space Museum, where the tour stars, was closed for renovation. However, the museum is free and not on protected property so I can go back and check it out. We visited four different launch sites, three museums, and the Cape Canaveral lighthouse. I personally loved the lighthouse and Hanger "A" which housed some of the larger historic rockets and jets that have helped bring NASA and the U.S. military where it is now. I personally was surprised that the first drone was used as target practice. I can't really detail everything I saw or this would become one my longest reviews, longer than I usually do. Just know that, like I said earlier in the review, for a possible one-and-done, it is worth every penny. However, if you really want to make sure the tour is a one-and-done, pay for the full tour. You'll have enough time to visit everything within the four hours, and if anything is closed, they'll take you to the Canaveral National Seashore, which was amazing because it is literally almost "untouched" by tourism. I will give this tour four out of five stars. I am not going to say consistency will earn the fifth star because only a super fan will take this tour numerous times... or work for the tour company. I will say that the lacking star has to do with the price. It can be high overall especially if stops are closed for some reason.

We all said it was like hanging out with a buddy which made the day super easygoing. He allowed us to play whatever music we liked on the bus and gave us proper warnings before our time was up at each location. The bus was so comfortable it was like an XL sprinter style van but with limo setup seating. You can fully stand up so it was easy getting in and out. The 3 breweries each served us flights which all tasted amazing - they had options for our friend who's gluten free as well, usually a cider. We got a great little brewery tour and the staff at each brewery were super friendly - sometimes on a "tour" or "party" people can be dismissive but the staff at these places were so eager to describe their beers and offer us whatever we needed. Highly recommend!
