Florida Family Getaways - 2008 - (Page 10) water STEINHATCHEE Breakfast at the welcome center Plus there are bikes, archery, a swimming pool and tennis to keep everyone entertained and outdoors. Bring along some marshmallows for roasting over the fire pit come nightfall. In case you forgot anything, head to Mason’s Market in “downtown” Steinhatchee, which consists of a halfmile stretch on First Street. It stocks everything from brooms, bananas and “Butt Rub” (barbecue dry rub) to wine, fried chicken and deli sandwiches. A hardware store, water tower and produce stand selling boiled peanuts adjoin the general store. On Riverside Drive, the other major road through town, you’ll find a Baptist church, tiny post office, hair salon, seafood market and a place that rents kayaks. No big-box stores. No theme parks. No fast-food chains. Not even stoplights. This is the Florida that the rat race scampered by. This is the Florida where casting a line and drinking lemonade on a porch create the kind of family memories that you remember from your own childhood.
