  Sunsets and Seafood: A Night at Salt Water Cowboys in St. Augustine If you are looking for the ultimate hidden gem that captures the old-school, rustic spirit of Northeast Florida, look no further than Salt Water Cowboys . Tucked away along the salt marshes of the Anastasia Island backwater, this iconic St. Augustine staple offers a dining experience centered around incredible coastal views and classic Southern comfort. The Atmosphere Perched directly over the marsh on stilts, the restaurant feels like a step back in time. With its weathered wood, open decks, and a canopy of ancient live oaks framing the water, it is the perfect spot to unwind. A View You Can't Forget The real magic happens right as the sun goes down. Watching the vibrant orange and pink sunset bleed across the expansive marsh grass while the tidal creeks reflect the fading light is worth the trip alone. Grab a seat on the deck, feel the coastal breeze, and watch the local wildlife wake up as the day ends. On the...

Yeeha Bob Update

Yehaa Bob Jackson has been a staple of Walt Disney World nightlife for decades, delivering a high-energy piano party that you simply have to see to believe. For the ArmsInsideTheVehicle family, a trip to see him is an absolute tradition. We have been huge fans of his legendary, boogie-woogie sing-along performance for over ten years. Catching the Legendary Show You can find Bob tearing up the keys at the River Roost Lounge , located inside Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside . Show Days: Wednesday through Saturday. Showtime: Music starts at roughly 8:30 PM . Pro-Tip: Bob usually arrives around 8:00 PM to meander through the lounge and visit with guests before taking the stage. Navigating the Resort Bus Dilemma Recent transportation updates at Walt Disney World have made it notoriously difficult to park at resort hotels if you are not an overnight guest. To guarantee entry past the security gate without staying on-site, consider snagging a reservation at the resort's B...

8 Years in Florida and I Still Haven’t Seen the Mermaids

-
Image
  When I first moved to Florida almost eight years ago, I had grand visions of what my life would look like. I pictured weekend road trips to hidden clear-water springs, quirky roadside attractions, coastal kayak tours, and endless sunshine-filled adventures. Fast forward nearly a decade, and if I’m being honest? Most of my "living in paradise" experience has consisted of navigating traffic on I-4, dodging afternoon thunderstorms, running errands in air-conditioned sanctuaries, and telling myself, “I’ll check that out next weekend.” Living somewhere creates a funny paradox: when paradise is in your backyard, you treat it like an errand you can run anytime. And so, time slips by. The #1 Missing Item: Weeki Wachee Springs If you ask anyone who knows me what sits at the absolute top of my Florida bucket list, they’ll tell you instantly: The World-Famous Mermaid Show at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park . Since 1947, performers have been putting on underwater ballet performances in...

With Covid-19 in full effect, there are a ton of people that are having Disney withdrawal!  We moved to Florida almost two years ago just so that we wouldn't experience this feeling.  I love irony as much as anyone, but this is borderline cruel :) While I do miss the rides and attactions, that's not the thing that I am really jonesing for.  I want some good food!!!  When we didn't live so close to Disney and wanted to get our theme park food fix, we would look for recipes.  My wife has pretty much perfected the cheese soup from Le Celier!  So I thought this would be a good time to add a recipe for another of our favorites. I haven't been to Disneyland since 2013.  Even then, I didn't have a park ticket.  I ran through the parks for the Disneyland half marathon (which hasn't been held for a few years now).  But one of my all-time favorite Disney food items (note to self, I should put together a list of my top five faves) was the Chicken Ch...
