Orange Blossom Cannonball Railroad | Tavares Gator Cruise

March 23, 2016

My son is pretty lucky to have a childhood in central Florida. We’re surrounded by great off-season weather and many amazing and entertaining adventures. On his spring break we took a vintage train trip on the Orange Blossom Cannonball from Mt. Dora to Tavares. We discovered a marina and took a gator cruise. What a day!
