Family vacation in Florida

          8 comments

Family vacation is always a family thing we do, even once a year. It doesn’t really need to be more luxury or fancy. You just need something to go out together where you can spend away from home, this is good for mom like me "lol'', first I don’t need to cook and enjoy my free time together with the family.

 One of the great location we spend most of the time is Florida,as you know Florida is called"Sunshine State"because the weather is nice all year round. During winter Florida is known as "Snowbirds" meaning people from North go south for the winter,I don't blame them we're one of them especially Michigan is too cold for me and to my in-laws;other than that why we want to go to Florida for vacation because it's closer to us and cheaper to fly.

 Why we like Florida for family:
Theme Parks- Florida offer a great theme park for family like Disney World, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Universal Studio, Bush Gardens and LegoLand and more.
Animal Kingdom
Beach- Florida offers  nice beaches where you can start from Golf coast to  west coast Florida.
Seafoods: This is the reason why I love most, to go down in Florida the seafoods are fresh and good.
Accommodation:Florida offers from your budget range, it depends how much you want to break  the bank.

Thida Thai Restaurant :Craving for Thai food

          1 comment
I am craving thai food most of the time, well don't blame me I stayed in Thailand for almost 4 years. Last Sunday, unexpected we found a thai food, and the restaurant name is  Thida Thai located in Smyrna, Tennessee.Before we went to the restaurant it has a small store beside it,I bought some thai spicy.

The lunch is under 10 bucks which is pretty good for weekend price. We ordered Pad thai and Pad Kee Mao. We just decided to ordered the entree and not the combo lunch.It said, they have a free wifi but  I open my ipod touch and needs a password, so we don't bother to ask the password enable to access the  free wifi.
Pad Kee Mao:
I ordered the Pad Kee Mao and it was really yum, the sweet and spicy is perfect in my mouth.I told the the waiter to put a little bit of chili.Pad Kee Mao is made in Stir fried jumbo noodle with house special sauce, egg, bell pepper, onion, bamboo shoot, basil, chili, carrot.

Pad Thai: 
Stir fried rice noodle with Homemade pad Thai sauce, egg, bean sprout and green onion finished with crushed peanuts and they put some vegetables like cabbage and carrots.My hubby doesn't like it, its too sweet for him, but the pad thai sauce is really good.


How to go there:

Thida Thai: 721 President Place Smyrna, TN 37167

          7 comments
Do you think there's a ghost here? Well, if you would go the tour don't forget to ask?
We went last Sunday at Sam Davis Home and Museum,Smyrna TN.For 3 years staying in Tennessee we just discovered the Sam Davis Home and its history is very impressive. The museum is not big like other museums we visited, but it has a nice collection and unique its own ways.


Dine in:
 I was happy we found the Thida Thai Restaurant, gosh the food is really good and we're planning to go back there.

Guided tour makes the museum big difference:
Using the original key year 1810.It took a while before she opened the door of the house.

I know some of you you could not appreciate museums or its boring to go the museums,Its true in many ways but if the museum like in Sam Davis Home and Museum you would not feel bored, it
interesting to go back and learn the history.The tour guide has good sense of humor and very informative.Our tour begin with a documentary video and ends with a guided tour.

Too many rules to follow:
The tour was very informative and she quoted in the 1800 there's too many rules you should follow; being a guest and a hostess imagine yourself nowadays the rules before you enter the house, before you eat, things you should learn.

Outside the museum:


 Sam Davis Home :Address :1399 Sam Davis Road, Smyrna, Tennessee 37167 
 Telephone number: 615-459-2341
Imagine yourself using these.
