Summer fun at Ormond Beach

Bar - Ruby Tuesday's, Gainesville, Florida

Peddler's Wagon - Eustis, Florida

The Peddler's Wagon, located in the chic little town of Eustis, Florida (about 1/2 way between Orlando and Ocala), is a fantastic gift shop, filled with all types of exotic and beautiful offerings.  The Christmas section, which takes up about 1/3rd of the store, has an incredible and extensive collection of items to help light up your Christmas with charm and color.

If you're ever in Eustis, stop by and drink in for yourself all this splendor, and say "Hello" to the man running things there, Kevin Jenness.
