On the edge of Kissimmee airport there is an aviation museum that is interesting enough, however if you walk out into the airport along to the next hangar you will find two of the best examples of WWII Mustang aircraft I have ever seen. Not only that but in the hangar itself I photographed one of the infamous 1950's Mig Fighters that was also in pristine condition (as is the hangar floor, you could eat your dinner of it). Don't get me wrong, I'm not an aircraft nut or a plane spotter, it's just I was so taken back by what I saw there. If you do decide to go there you will note there is a sign saying the public are not to go any further onto the airfield, however the people who run the museum told me it was OK to go out there, so I did.

There's a lakefront park in Downtown Kissimmee-straight under the arch at the bottom of the Orange Blossom Trail-it changes into Main St-follow the road round past the antique shops etc and turn left, cross over the railway line and it's there at the bottom. You can have a boat trip on the lake, children can play in the wet area, or try the swings etc. There's a lovely antique shop that would take you a week to explore back on Main St and you can have lunch or afternoon snack at Susan's Courtside Cafe where the food is beautifully prepared in a wonderful old historic building that also has wheelchair access for anyone that need it.

It's a nice lazy afternoon out. We also a gator in the lake too!
