THINGS TO DO WHILE SOCIAL DISTANCING

It is an uncertain time. What started off as Spring Break for our local communities has become a time of social distancing and quietude.But just because you are social distancing, does not mean you need to sit around doing nothing. Here are a few activities you can still do while Social Distancing. Be sure to contact any location directly before heading out, in case their schedules have changed since this list was published.

The Outdoorsy
For the more adventurous, this is a great time to head out and see some of the beautiful natural parks that Florida has to offer, many quite local.

·      State Parks
Located throughout Central Florida are beautiful state parks and natural springs, such as Blue Spring State ParkDeLeon Springs State ParkHontoon Island State Park, and many others. While all events and activities have been cancelled, many of the parks remain open for hiking.

·      The Saint Johns River
Running through Florida is the Saint Johns River, which runs from Sanford to Jacksonville. A variety of water activities from kayaking to paddle boarding and river cruises can be found to entertain any levels of outdoors-person you may have in your family.

The Volusia County Public Library even has a great Digital Library, that can allow you to check out your next book, without ever leaving your home.

In addition to the traditional card games we all know and love, there are some great board games and tabletop games that are fun for the whole family.You can find a list of the “Best Family Board Games” if you need a few suggestions.

·       Binge a Movie or TV Series
Another great way to spend a hot or rainy afternoon is to catch up on your favorite tv show or movie you have been wanting to see. With so many streaming services available, the options are nearly limitless.

The Foodie
While bars and clubs have been closed, many restaurants remain open with limited seating or curb-side carry out service. Now is a great time to help support local businesses by ordering food to-go or purchasing a gift card to use later. Some local favorites are Santorini’s Greek CuisineUrban BrickThe Half Wall,and The Table just to name a few.

what our customers say!

Sold our home in less than 3 weeks and above asking price. Will be using him again to sell our other home in the very near future. You wont be disappointed in selecting Chuck and his team, I recommend you start packing once you bring him on board.

Kyla helped me find my perfect home. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and most importantly, she listened to my wants and needs! We searched until we found my perfect home. She stayed on top of the inspections and mortgage broker requirements until closing day. I could not have chosen a better  partner for my home search. Thank you, Kyla! You are a rock star and I could not be happier.

Patricia

Chuck is just the best! So friendly, helpful and quite the funny guy 🙂 we loved him ?? and after all of our shenanigans, house to house to house to house……he was so patient and would even tell us if he thought we were in over our head. Sometimes we saw “a little fix here and there” but chuck  saw a headache! He’s not in it for a quick sale! That’s why, we’re going to buy another house! We purchased our house a little over a year ago but we’re ready to move on….I’ll be call you soon Chuck!

Words can never express how much I enjoyed and loved working with Kyla. For me, I never wanted to work with a realtor due to fears of them scamming me and just “talking a good game”. Kyla eased that fear the very first time we met. She was personable and she answered questions in a way that made  you actually answer your own questions in order for you to be the sole driver of the process while she copiloted and snatched the wheel when need be. Lol. She was available when needed most and very understanding when questions came up in the wee hours of the night. Would I recommend her, ABSOLUTELY!! Kyla thank you again for all that you’ve done for my family and I! YOU ROCK!

Kevin

Kyla was excellent. She was very kind & understanding. The closing on my home was a mess! Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Kayla sat with me the entire day at the closing office waiting for a wire transfer. She made a difficult day much easier for me. The purchase of my new home was  swift & easy bc of her. She also made sure that I won the bid on my new home with a secret she uses, as there were 5 offers!! I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling.

Chuck was everything you could ask for in a realtor – smart, responsive, thorough and genuinely kind and honest. After meeting with other realtors, we were so happy we went with Chuck. He really listened to us, gave us sage advice and made the selling process a breeze. Doesn’t get better than that!
