With a college degree in “rocks and dirt”, as I like to say, I have a thing for dinosaurs. Sunday I had the opportunity to visit Dinosaur World in Plant City, Fla., located between Tampa and Orlando, just off Interstate 4. If you’ve driven that way, you’ve seen the Tyrannosaurus rex standing by, attracting visitors.
What a fun place! I felt as though Jurassic Park was alive. The dinosaurs don’t move but they look pretty real, or at least what my perception of a real dino looks like.
I plan on a more in depth post about the trip but in the meantime, enjoy these snapshots. And thanks to Dinosaur World for hosting me that day!

I’m in my 50s and retirement is at least a decade down the road. This lands me in my pretirement era, the period of life between career and retirement. I love my career but know it’s important to prepare for retirement by saving and planning. I’ve traveled solo for about 30 years and here are some budget travel tips I’ve picked up along the way.
Weeki Wachee Springs offers the Sirens of the Deep Mermaid Camps several times a year. I grabbed a spot, put on a tail, and learned mermaiding is hard work!
