For the next 3 days, we’re hanging out in Orlando North, Seminole County to surprise Enso with a bunch of epic activities he’s never done before! Today was our first day here and so far we’ve checked into our Airbnb in historic downtown Sanford, grabbed a delicious #plantbased dinner and went rock climbing!
More Info
For dinner we visited Henry's Depot - a cute food hall that was once an old railroad station. Dharma Southern Kitchen, Oak Flame Pizza & The Greenery Creamery all have vegan options here! The coconut charcoal ice cream with hibiscus sprinkles at The Greenery Creamery is LIFE.

After we digested, we headed to Aiguille Climbing for some nighttime indoor rock climbing. This place is so much fun but be prepared to wake up sore as heck!

It’s our second day in Orlando North and today’s first order of business was grabbing breakfast at New City Coffee Co. If you’re a coffee drinker, they offer cute seasonal flights here but I’m more of a matcha gal and theirs is *chefs kiss*. Their waffles + avocado toasts are reallyyy good too.

After we ate, we headed to Enso’s second surprise for the trip - a kid's horseback experience at Hidden Palms Ranch 🐴. He learned how to care for the horses and was guided on a trail too! They do also have riding for adults and kids ages 10+ available if you don’t have little ones or your kids are older. Definitely a great spot worth checking out!

You guys know I’ve been all about decorating lately so I thought it would be fun to actually make my own unique piece for the house! Not sure if our day 3 activity in Orlando North was more for me or Enso, but we all loved it.

Before we headed to paint, we grabbed lunch at Sus Hi Eatstation where we built our own *GIANT* sushi burritos 🤤 They have a bunch of toppings to choose from including tofu as a protein option! 10/10 recommend.

After we stuffed our bellies, we headed to Pottery U Paint where you can choose from tons of ceramic sculptures, paint them and leave them overnight to be glazed and cured. Enso painted a dragon, I designed a decor tray and my husband painted his and hers sake cups for us. This was a blast and is perfect for kids or even a date night idea.
