This is the 😸 kitty latte, mango macaron and the coconut cream bombe at @axum532 connected to the @orlandocatcafe. You enter and pay for The Cat Cafe through Axum Coffee. They have a viewing window into the cat play area. . You can get food/drinks here and then bring them inside with you. I loved both Axum Coffee and The Orlando Cat Cafe during my visit on Sunday. I need cats on all my food and drink now. 😻

I visited the @orlandocatcafe 😻 in Clermont today. The cats are all adoptable via @spca_florida so I had to try not to fall in love with one. (I already have a cat and dog at home.) It was fun playing with the kittens. It was a stress reliever. You can get coffee and food at @axum532 connected but separated by a door to the Cat Cafe. You can bring it into the cat area. There are 12-15 cats roaming freely that you can play with and pet. . It was very clean in the cat area. There was a cat door leading into a separate litter box area and no smell. You can't pick up the cats. It is located in Clermont - not Orlando (45 minute-1 hour drive). There are designated children day/times if you visit with kids under age 12. Booking your timeslot ahead of time is recommended. They have special events too like yoga with cats and high tea with kitties.

This awesome space mural 🌌 is located @medstreetfood in Maitland. The address is 118 Lake Avenue, Maitland, FL. It was painted in November. Artists: owner Julio Bermudez and Brandi Hart

My son and I exercised 💪 at these 10 Healthbeat outdoor fitness stations located at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Winter Park. The fitness stations are all located in a circle so you can do circuit training. . The stations are shaded and have a lake view. There are also restrooms nearby and it's next to the fenced in wood Community Playground AKA Castle Park. It's a great free place for families to exercise together. 🏋️‍♀️🏋️ My son said the fitness stations were more fun than the playground.

Did you know there was a castle in Winter Park? 🏰 This is the Community playground in Winter Park AKA "Castle Park." It is a large wooden castle themed playground built by nationally known playground designer Robert Leathers. The unique playground is fenced in and is shaded too with big trees.

Honoring the 49 @pulseorlando

This is the "Milk Wings" mural located at 2424 East Robinson St. in the Milk District. The artist is DelaCruz. I didn't get into the photo since I was by myself. . I parked at Echo Base Collectibles to get the photo. You will see the mural as you pull into the area to park.

This is "Centered" by C.J. Rench at Lake Eola. It is a sculpture made out of eight individual forms arching in balance with a kinetic center. "Centered" can seem to change it's shape from every angle it's viewed. "Centered" references how Orlando is the center of family fun, experiences and memories. The yellow form in the middle is for sunny weather. . @seeartorlando is a self guided tour of 9 permanent contemporary art sculptures at Lake Eola.

I visited @thesanctumcafe on Friday. This is the breakfast burrini burrito and it was delicious. I liked the tofu scramble in it. We also had the Sanctum Signature burrito. We only had the breakfast menu items available since we visited in the morning. The food here is healthy vegetarian/vegan and locally sourced. . I liked it here since I normally eat healthy vegetarian food anyways. However, I wished there was a kid's menu here for my son. I got him the smoothie and cookie but he wasn't into it. Kids are picky though. 🤷

This is the "Everywhere Campaign" U.S. Women's National Soccer Team mural by @shumakerart. It is located at the Seacoast Bank Building in Downtown Orlando (intersection of Orange Avenue and Robinson Street.) The mural features forward Alex Morgan and goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris who both also play for @orlpride. ⚽ 🥅 💪 . The U.S. Women's National Soccer team goes for their fourth World Cup this summer in France.

I attended a family wedding @sydoniemansion in Mount Dora recently. Sydonie Mansion was built in 1883 in the Mediterranean Revival Style. The mansion is being restored and is being used as a wedding/event location. . The mansion and the grounds are beautiful. It reminded me of St. Augustine. There is a courtyard with water fountains, Koi fish pond and sculptures. This picture was taken by the water near the building down some old steps. . I had heels on but I was able to walk in the grass by walking mostly on my toes. All thanks to my ballet classes I took when I was a kid. Haha.

I love going to @arcademonsters with my family to get our video game fix. The arcade has retro video games like Pac-Man, Tron, The Simpsons and even pinball machines. We played the old Mortal Kombat there recently, the new Mortal Kombat 11 and air hockey. You pay one price here instead of using quarters. They sell beer and snacks there too.

This is the Andres Bank Mural by Antonio Martinez Andres that was painted in the 1950's. It is a 20 foot long tiled mural at Lake Concord Park in Casselberry. It's located in a City Hall outside breezeway. . The mural was previously located in the old Wachovia Bank building prior to being demolished in 2013. The mural was once the showcase of the building and loved by the community. The mural was hidden behind a wall in 1994 during remodeling. The former bank president David Powers contacted the city about the mural when he heard the building was going to be demolished in 2013. A group of officials entered the dark abandoned building with flashlights and found the mural behind the wall. . The tiled mural was carefully moved by numbering, photographing and cataloging each piece. It took 2 years for the artist Ulysses Mora to restore the mural. Many artists in the community came together to help preserve this artwork for many future generations to enjoy.

This is the Aurora sculpture and the artist is Noelio Gonzalez. It's located at Lake Concord Park in Casselberry. The Lake Concord Park sculpture garden has 11 permanent sculptures. . Lake Concord Park is a hidden gem! This beautiful 5 acre park includes an interactive water play area, sculpture garden, playground, boardwalk, flowers and a fountain. It's a pretty oasis behind the City Hall building. The Casselberry Art House is also there and it's a free art gallery.

I visited the @orlandofringe Festival today thanks to @yelporlando. It's a 14 day arts festival with performances, music, food and drinks. It is May 14-May 27 and 100% of the sales are returned back to the artists. We saw "Infestation" today and it was great! . The main festival is at Loch Haven Park and the performances take place in multiple locations. There's a @kidsfringe area too with free activities for kids. You need a button for the festival and individual tickets for the performances. See the Orlando Fringe Festival app or website for all the details.

This is "Take Flight" by @douweblumberg at Lake Eola Park. Take Flight depicts a flock of birds ascending into the sky. The birds are made from cast alloy. Take Flight embodies the spirit of freedom and joy. . @seeartorlando is a self guided tour of 9 permanent contemporary art sculptures at Lake Eola.

We went on a daytime date to @oceansunbrewing recently to get our map stamped on the @central_florida_ale_trail. This is a beer flight of conch cruiser hefeweizen, mer de huy, buchi beer nitro and blue bags IPA. My favorite was the buchi beer nitro milk stout. We got a growler of mer du huy Belgian dark beer to take home.

Happy Mother's Day! I had brunch at @omeletbar_ucf this morning. I got the Sunday Funday unlimited mimosas & bellinis and the small size s'mores pancake. . We also got the cake flight. The cake flight had three flavors of pancakes: raspberry, strawberry and banana. The service was fast and the place was busy. There was so much food too so we had to take some home. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and brunch.

10 stars for the ice cream @thegreenerycreamery! I think this was the best ice cream I've ever had. This place has been on my "ice cream to try" list for a while. I sampled some at an event before and it left me wanting more. . They make their own ice cream and cones in house. There are so many creative flavors and vegan options too. I got the strawberry rose and purple ube ice cream with the rose crystals topping. The rose crystals added that extra crunch. . The toasted coconut ash black cone had an unexpected surprise taste of smokey flavor. The cone tasted almost like bacon from what I remember but I'm a vegetarian. I was so shocked at cone taste I had to ask the employee working there "what am I tasting? This is amazing!" Also, the employee working there was so helpful when I was trying to make my selections. I will be back to try more flavors.

This woman hugging a swan mural is located at @thefalconbar. The artist is @evoca1. The mural was sponsored by The Thornton Park District and the curator was Melissa Schumann.
