On Monday, Leticia took to her Instagram Stories to document her trip to the West Volusia region of Florida.

Leticia posted photos and videos of herself and her sister, Shannon Passmore, taking in the sites.

Leticia and her sibling took a history tour where she visited one of her “favorite places,” Old Sugar Mill Pancake House.

The restaurant is positioned beside natural springs where patrons can go swimming if they feel so inclined.

Leticia uploaded a photo of herself posing beside the large pond with a caption that teased a comeback to modeling.

It read, “The swimsuit model almost came out of retirement (but I had too much riding to do) @visitwestvolusia.”

In the pic, Letica flaunted her fit figure in a skintight, long-sleeved tee and a pair of form-fitting jeans.

She completed the outfit with well-worn Chelsea boots and a baseball cap placed over her blond locks.

The remainder of Leticia’s Instagram Story included posts showcasing the rest of her and Shannon’s sibling vacation.

Photos of tourist attractions, videos of wild, party-filled nights, and glimpses at a local motorcycle rally were all included in the social media post.

FED UP
The relaxing getaway comes after Leticia vented her frustrations over her still-under-construction coffee shop.

The former Playboy model lamented the amount of time and money she has invested to save an old Kentucky building.

Leticia dropped $110,000 on Ace Coffee Cafe in Cave City, Kentucky – which is approximately two hours south of Louisville.

The shop is scheduled to open on March 29 and the race is currently on to complete the renovations before that time.

The race seems to be getting the best of Leticia.

Over the weekend, Leticia shared the status of the ongoing reconstruction – while also gripping about costs and setbacks – on her Instagram Stories.

Although she celebrated the completion of the brickwork around the outside windows, Leticia vented over an image of the original decrepit building.

“BTW: This was the building 4 years ago,” she wrote before adding, “I had finally got the brick cut in for windows. Since then I’ve added over 20 windows and doors.

“This has been a long and very very very expensive road saving a hundred-year-old building but it’s so worth it.”

WELL WORTH IT
Leticia shared several more snaps over the weekend and again complained about all the sacrifices she has made for the project.

In one pic, the model showcased the shop’s remodeled bathroom with orange walls and decor of flowers and skeletons, which she called “the cutest.”

Leticia also showcased a lit-up sign she repurposed to include the shop’s name and captured an artist painting a sign on the front of the building.

It was a complete overhaul compared to the property’s previous look, which she shared in the following snap.

A throwback pic of the shop appeared on a wall inside the business, which she noted showcased what the business looked like in the 1930s and ’50s when it was a theater.

The Beauty and the Geek alum gave a special shout-out to her boyfriend, American Pickers star and creator, Mike Wolfe, 59, who has been by her side throughout it all.

Leticia wrote over a photo of the couple sharing a kiss, “Couldn’t have done any of this without my love @mikewolfeamericanpicker.”

“He has the best ideas and is so supportive (even when he knows it means sacrificing time together some),” she added.

GRAND OPENING
Leticia has been teasing the new project as she works on getting it ready for customers.

Recently, Ace’s official Instagram page posted a flyer to promote the opening on March 30 and its soft opening the day before.

The reveal will include live music, free giveaways, and a space that will become a bar during after-hours.

“There’s a whole day of giveaways and more. Come stay all day as we’re the only café in town to go from coffee to cocktails for you to enjoy inside our out in our outdoor pocket park / music venue,” the caption read.

Shortly before, the journalist gave a 360 view of the space on her page while boasting about the transformation.

“This renovation is one that I’m the most proud of, and I spared no expense when it came to the build out of this coffee shop,” Leticia wrote, in part, in her caption.

Leticia recently thanked her boyfriend Mike Wolfe for his support as she works to open a coffee shop in her hometown of Cave City, Kentucky
