Lost Again in The Villages? GPS Fails, Hidden Gems (Best Pool & Quesadilla!), & Dancing at Brownwood

Even with The Villages’ own GPS, we STILL managed to get lost… more than once! But honestly? That’s half the fun—wandering through beautiful neighborhoods, stumbling across new rec centers, and seeing corners of The Villages we might have missed otherwise.

Fast forward through our wanderings, if you must (but you will miss some incredible vistas and fun Villages facts along the way), to discover John's favorite quesadilla EVER, Becca's pick for best Villages pool, and a stellar band that seemed to have all of the Villagers on the dance floor!

In this episode, we share our “lost but loving it” adventures, our relaxing pool afternoon, plus an unforgettable evening at Brownwood Paddock Square with live music, dancing, and a lively crowd of Villagers. 🎶🕺💃

If you’re curious what everyday life really feels like here—or you’ve ever wondered what happens when the GPS lets you down—this is the video for you!
