Many, many years ago it was the site of… Continue reading Wekiva Island – Paradise Found
We knew it would be different. We knew it would be artistic. Admittedly, we were a little anxious. Husband and I sometimes have a difficult time straying from our norm. After spending the evening at "DRIP", I am so glad we opened our minds and ventured out to experience something new. Pure and simple, DRIP… Continue reading Dripping with Artistry: Orlando’s Newest Live Show “DRIP”
