I've had a pretty stressful couple of months so my sweet husband worked with Shelley to give me a spa package. It did not disappoint!! We started out relaxing in the aromatherapy garden, surrounded by the beautiful flowers and butterflies. It was incredibly peaceful. For the spa treatment I opted for a facial with a dermaplaning and soothing gel masque. I especially liked that Candy the esthetician explained exactly what she was doing, every step of the way. I had never had the gel mask before, and it was amazing! I could feel the stress melting away. I loved all the products that she used and I was already familiar with the Image brand. Will definitely be back for this sublime experience!

The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, "The AGB" for short, is formerly known as the Polk Museum…read moreof Art (and probably what I'll always think of it as). The name change came with a huge expansion which allowed the museum to nearly thrills its exhibition and learning spaces. And let me tell you, going there pre- & post-expansion the difference is mind boggling. Polk County & Lakeland truly have something to be proud of with this museum. And the best part? Free admission!! I wasn't sure if it'd remain this way after their buildout but they are striving to keep it free for all to visit and enjoy. They have a really impressive collection for being a still smaller museum compared to the Met, Chicago Museum of Art or places like that. First, you walk into to see several Auguste Rodin sculptures, starting off strong. You can see Andy Warhol, an incredible mix of diverse artists from all over the world, and even a few Dale Chihuly blown glass pieces. It is all absolutely stunning. The AGB is a Smithsonian affiliate so they definitely have high standards. It's also located in such a great spot right off of Lake Morton next to the library & Lake Morton Black & Brew, the Peach House, Misterfish, and the newer MooTown Scoops. Whether you're feeling coffee, ice cream, drinks or actual food, it's all with a 3-4 minute walk right there. A great museum to visit!

Since 1983 the Bigda's have been showing up and showing out for Christmas in a big way. Some people have lights synchronized to music while others concentrate of yard decorations but the Bigda's have everything and more. While there are more than 100,000 lights what really sets them apart is the one of kind handmade decorations with movement. While they are mainly Disney centric I also spotted the Grinch riding a bike and Snoopy getting the upper hand on the Red Baron as they flew in the sky. In 2020 they won their episode of ABC's "The Great Christmas Light Fight". Pictures do not do this house justice, You have to see it in person to really appreciate its grandeur. The Bigda's collect donations for Polk County Sheriff Children's Charity so drop them a buck. In addition to the incredible display, Santa himself was hearing children's Christmas wishes and Stich, Lilo, Captain America, and the Gingerbread Man from Shrek were on hand to take photos with visitors. A big shout out to the Bigda's for providing this amazing holiday experience for Central Florida. I overheard people talking who had come from the theme parks to see this house. A big thank you also to the Bigda's neighbors for their grace. It can't be easy to have this much traffic come into your neighborhood, clog your streets, and block your driveways. They are such good sports. The neighbor across the street from the Bigda's even gave them his front yard so their decorations spill across the street into his yard. Add this house to your Christmas bucket list.

I was able to walk into allowed spaces & along the front to take it all in. It's got old school wooden cutouts and lights synchronized to music.

In 1910 Mr. Menzie named the small town of Dundee after his hometown in Scotland. In 1911, the…read moreAtlantic Coast Line Railroad arrived with a new Haines City to Sebring branch of the railroad. One of the first land speculators to arrive to the area was William W. Shepard from Minneapolis. He along with his business partners purchased 14,000 acres of land along the Scenic Ridge from Lake Hamilton to Mountain Lake, which included much of Dundee. He and his partners founded the Highlands Development Co., which developed citrus groves and sold housing lots. Early settlers came in on a special train the company set up and if they purchased land their train ticket was refunded. The historic Dundee Train Depot was built in 1912 and it still stands today with help from the local community. It was the first station built on the Haines City to Sebring line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The 66-by-26 feet building was constructed out of Florida pine and cypress. At first a tent was built next to the station to house the first arrivals but as more people came it was replaced by the two story Highlands Hotel. The initial industry in the area was a sawmill that cut down the southern pine trees. After all the wood was harvested and the land cleared, the citrus industry took over. In 1924, Dundee Citrus Growers Association purchased the packing house and, in 1929, a new packing house was constructed next to the railroad station. The railroad helped the town of Dundee to grow rapidly by bringing people and shipping citrus. Passenger service was discontinued in 1954. By the 1980's the station was in peril of being torn down. In the 1990's Margaret Kampsen and several other residents stepped in to move the station from land the Dundee Citrus Growers Association wanted to buy. Margaret's ties to Dundee dated to the turn of the century, when her mother's parents moved from Kansas to Dundee before it was a town. As a little girl her mother stepped off the train at the station and stayed at the Highlands Hotel. It was important to Margaret's mother to save it so Margaret and other volunteers raised money and repaired the station. The museum opened to the public August 27, 1999. Margaret was instrumental in saving the depot and creating the museum and she served as the chairwoman of the Historic Dundee Depot for five years. In 2008 the museum was named in her honor. Margaret passed away from pancreatic cancer on November 15, 2008. On July 30, 2001, the railroad station was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Today you can learn about the history of this area and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad from this free museum. Many of the items were donated by local residents and Margaret purchased Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Coast Line memorabilia at railroad auctions. There are also pictures of the early days of Dundee. Outside the museum is a caboose, a gazebo, picnic tables and antique-style lamps. I love historic train stations so I was delighted to find this museum with its sweet origin story and small town charm. if you stop by be sure and visit nearby Davidson of Dundee for a sweet citrus treat after.
