Madeira Beach FL Vacation 2024
All the things we were able to do in 6 days.
Best vacation we ever took to date. It was so relaxing and close to everything we wanted to do. We stayed at the Holiday Inn near the Wal-Mart. The actual beach was only 5 mins away, and it wasn't extremely packed. We stayed for 6 days and got to go ...
Madeira Beach, FL 2024 Vacation
Although, we have been to this beach previously. We mainly walked about the shops and did a dinner cruise on this vacation. Usually is a packed beach so arriving early to get a good spot is best.
Clearwater Beach
This was my most anticipated beach on this trip. Although I still recommend it, I was sad it wasn't as clear of water as I was hoping. We went the week of July 4th 2024 and I believe there were ocean things going on that had the waves tearing us up. ...
Anna Maria Island Florida
We spend the day hear meeting up with some HS friends. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars that were walkable. Parking was a hot mess. The sun was going down when we finally touched our toes to the sand and it was so beautiful. Like Anna Maria the wa...
Siesta Key Beach
Hands down the best experience from the staff, to the room, breakfast and location. I believe our stay was for 5 days and it was around $800 around the 4th of July.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites St. Petersburg - Madeira Beach
Dinner at Caddy's was so fun, with an open view you were right on the beach and got to feel the breeze. Great entertainment watching the birds mess with the beach goers.

Caddy's Madeira Beach
After leaving the beach we pulled out onto the main road. I happened to look out my window and recognized something that looked familiar but it took a second to dawn on me. KANSAS CITY CHIEEEEEEEFFFFFSS!!!! KC Chiefs flags blowing in the wind at this...
Lucky Lizard Tap House
Nice area with walkable shopping, snacks, restaurants and activities. Parking was a hot mess but it was well worth it.
John's Pass
Lots of openness so you can see all along the doc and peer out at the ocean while you got to enjoy your meal. Our waitress was very sweet and gave us good menu recommendations that we enjoyed. She also shared some local spots with us to check out.

Friendly Fisherman Restaurant
I could have ate 5 of these. From the buttery roll to the fresh lobster meat. I'm ready to go back just to snag another one of these bad boys!
Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls
Such a fun experience and it didn't feel rushed at all. There was live entertainment, and enough room to get up and dance a bit up front. While you waiting on dinner or after dinner the top decks were open so you could watch the sunset and see all ar...

Anniversary 2025
Our anniversary this year, we decided to treat ourselves to Eddy V's. on the Plaza in Kansas City. It was the most expensive yet delicious meal we have honestly had in years. It was worth every cent.
They had a card on our table when we arrived. We ...
Eddie V's Prime Seafood - Kansas City
Our favorite casino so far. I love the open floor with high ceilings, especially with smoking being allowed. They always have new machines.
Ameristar Casino
Branson - Branson, MO 2024
Very cool place to check out. Tons of interactive activities inside for the whole family.
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Outback Seafood and Oyster Bar was a hidden gem for us when we visited Branson a few years ago. It's kinda pushed back off the main strip. It was so good we ate their twice in the 3 days we were exploring.

Outback Steak & Oyster Bar - Branson
The first trip to Branson was a bust because the museum was closed. Waiting a couple of years, and we finally made it! It's so worth the wait. Everything inside was so beautiful. I added the photo of the stair case, and the details were amazing. Towa...
Titanic Museum Attraction
This aquarium had just opened around the time we went. Great for the whole family. Tickets were pricey so definitely want to take your time and enjoy the sites. There were some interactive areas for the kiddos. They have a theater where the chairs mo...
Aquarium at the Boardwalk
This place reminds me of grandma's cooking. Also, watch out, they will throw a dinner roll at your dome lol
Lambert's Café
Sadly we didn't take photos of the food because it didn't stand a chance once we picked up our forks okay!
Jerk chicken and oxtail dinner is the way to go!
