We’re Calling Sick Out of Work and Having an Adventure!
It’s summertime: the sun is shining, the waves are crashing, the nights are long…and you’re stuck at work!
From theme parks, beaches, off-the-beaten-path attractions, cultural museums and local festivals, Central Florida has enough attractions, events and things to do to keep you busy all year long. Wouldn’t you rather be out there than sitting here?
That’s what we thought. Summer’s in full-swing and both Ben and Bess, editors of adventureswithben.com and Central Florida Top 5 are calling in sick and going to visit, “YOUR Favorite Central Florida attraction to Call in Sick For!”
Here are the details:
1. Submit
From now until July 3rd, readers of both well-known Central Florida Travel & Tourism Blogs can submit their favorite Central Florida Adventure.
Share your favorite by commenting to this post on either blog.
2. Vote
Ben and Bess will select their Top 5 reader submissions and put them to vote from July 5th – July 17th. Readers can vote on their absolute favorite.
3. Do it!
On July 23rd, Ben and Bess will call in sick (sort of) and set out on a day of adventure, visiting YOUR #1 destination. They’ll capture every detail and share with you the Best Central Florida Summer Day Activity the week of July 25th at adventureswithben.com and Central Florida Top 5.
So what are you waiting for? Submit, Vote and Let’s Do it!
We’ll see you out there…! Cough Cough

Thanks for the suggestion. Keep ‘em coming!

Hmmmm, never been. It’s been on my list. We’ll see!
Let’s go to Wekiwatchee Springs–I want to see if the mermaids are there–I think I read where they performed in England or somewhere overseas…
Awesome idea Julie. I’ve always wanted to see for myself if Mermaids do exist! Thanks for visiting.
More from twitter…
@FLStateParks suggests – Wekiwa Springs, go canoeing! If u feel like a drive see the mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs
Cooling off with natural springs is perfect on a hot summer day! Thanks for commenting.
All of my ideas:
Citrus Tower – Clermont
Scrub Jay Trail – Clermont
Air Boat Rides – Kissimmee
Volunteering @ 2nd Harvest (a FAV) Mr Bill is the best! – Orlando
Blueberry Picking (if still open) Mark’s U Pick Blueberries Rt 561 – Clermont
Dinosaur World – Plant City
Keel & Curley Winery for Blueberry wine – Plant City
Gildeport! in Clermont http://www.soarfl.com/main.htm
Ok so I’m a bit biased with Clermont.
Yikes, I think we need to call in sick for the whole week. Thanks for the suggestions!
And here are some more suggestions via twitter:
from @BrooklishBabble – you should go to the Lone Cabbage Fish Camp & take an airboat ride on the St Johns!
from @fl2native – Hey if you want to stay out of the heat you might go to #Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Science MOAS http://www.moas.org/ For something more exciting how about #airboating at Loughman Lake Lodge near #Mims? http://www.loughmanlake.com/
Thanks for sending them, Spread the word!
And more from @fl2native – Hey Ben, take off work and go for a glider ride at Seminole Lake Gliderport in Clermont http://www.soarfl.com/main.htm
If you really want to do something special, you can climb Mt. Dora! LOL
Thanks a lot!
So where did you both decide to go? Such a cool idea, can’t wait to read the articles!
Well….we’re picking our favorite 5 this weekend, and then readers can vote on where we’ll go. Stay tuned…
