Why Jackie loves Orlando, and you can too!
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday. This week is just going to fly by!
Today, our guest blogger comes to us from sunny ol’ Florida. I love having guest bloggers over here in the first place, but I always get so excited when I don’t know what they are going to post about. My favorite part of this series is seeing what people love and how they think we can as well. All of these things make us unique and is a fun way for us to learn about each other!
So without further ado…here is Jackie…

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to get the chance to guest blog here at Colors of Life. Molly was one of the first bloggers I ever started following and I love keeping up with her!
My name is Jackie and I blog over at My (Sort Of) Adult Life where I share memories with friends and family, my favorite recipes and anything else I love. I’m a proud dog mama, fiance, coffee lover and slight TV addict. I’m a Florida girl and I’ve lived in Orlando my whole life. Most people only think of Disney World or Universal Studios when they think of Orlando but there is so much more to do here! Today, I’m going to tell you about some of my favorite things our city has to offer.
Lake Eola
My very favorite part of the city is Lake Eola in the heart of downtown. It’s a great place to go for a walk, feed the ducks or you can try the paddle boats. They also have a huge Farmer’s Market every Sunday. The best part is it’s really dog friendly!
Sports
Our sports teams may not be the top dogs but the games are tons of fun. You can catch a Magic or Solar Bears game at the Amway Arena, which is huge and so nice! My personal favorite is the UCF Games, Go Knights! And we just added a soccer team and those games are incredible to be a part of.
Brunch
Orlando is a great place for foodies. You can seriously find any cuisine here and there is no shortage of amazing brunch spots! Some of my favorites are Dexter’s, KASA, Santiago’s Bodega & Soco. We also just got a Sugar Factory which I can’t wait to try!
Escape Rooms
We have a few different Escape Rooms around the area, which are perfect for a puzzle lover like me. If you’ve never been in one, it’s basically a themed room that you get locked in and have to solve a bunch of puzzles to get out of within a certain amount of time (usually an hour). It’s a great group activity!
Dinner Theaters
Another entertaining outing is our dinner theaters. We have a Pirate’s Dinner Adventure, Medieval Times Dinner Show and my personal favorite, Slueths Mystery Dinner Show. What can I say, I’m an amateur detective, I really like mysteries and puzzles!
So, next time your in town, even if you come to hang out with Mickey, I hope you’ll venture out and try some of these other activities! Follow along with me and all of my Orlando adventures!
