Florida Vacation

Looking for things to do in Jacksonville with kids? This major metropolitan area is known for its sprawling urban parks and sunshine. Aside from those awesome things, it also has tons and tons of activities for the whole family!

Wondering what to do in Pensacola Beach? The area has amazing restaurants, sights and experiences. We’re sharing our first-hand visitor knowledge – as a family of six!

Okay, we’ve talked a lot about Fort Myers Florida at this point! We’ve shared a detailed 36-hour itinerary to see all the highlights of Fort Myers, and we’ve outlined day trip ideas for both Captiva and Sanibel.

We explored Captiva Island Florida yesterday, and now we’re ready to tackle Sanibel Island! This bigger island – also just off the coast of Fort Myers – offers a TON of dining and recreational spots that’ll keep the whole family entertained from dawn until dusk.

Oooh yeah, baby! We’re back in the sunny southern state that holds a big piece of our hearts. If you haven’t been to Captiva Island Florida yet, brace yourself for the best day EVER. You’re in for lots of Key lime pie, swimming, crab races and shells as far as the eye can see.

The 4-year-old and I have been on a persistent search for the most killer destinations on the planet. Today, we’re going to chat about how we discovered the best Florida beach for kids – and for parents who want to have a great time!

Some of our good friends went to Orlando awhile ago and came back raving endlessly about the hotel. “Our room was as big as a house!” they exclaimed. I’ll admit I cocked my head to the side a bit and laughed. Of ALL the things to do in Orlando, it seemed strange that these guys were writing home about a resort. I love a good mattress and hot tub, sure, but can that really top thrill rides and fireworks?

So far we’ve talked about how to shell and what to do with kids in Fort Myers. I’ve gotten a few emails from parents asking where they should stay when they head to this Southwest Florida gateway. Don’t worry, we’ve got ya covered there too!

Now that I’ve shared the wonderful world of shelling with you all, I’m eager to dive into the vast list of other things that there are to do if you find yourself with a quick weekend to spend in Fort Myers, Florida.

Dive in. See what I did there?
