After two days Earthpremiership@gmail fun and travel in Greater Fort Lauderdale we finally got to the main attraction: Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America" because of the many waterways and crystal clear canals that run through this beautiful Floridian city. When my brother, parents and I pulled up to my grandparent's house I was, once again, surprised. I hadn't been to their place in years (they usually come to us) and I definitely didn't remember the white sand beaches, bright blue waters, and tall graceful palm trees that surrounded their home. My grandparents were ecstatic to see us, and they had a long list of activities planned for us. Here are the top five favorite things you HAVE to do in Fort Lauderdale:
1. Las Olas Boulevard is in Florida but walking down this fancy street makes you feel like you're in Hollywood. The palm-lined street features trendy shopping, chic hotels, and popular bars and nightclubs. After the one mile commercial strip Las Olas Boulevard turns into a luxurious residential area with easy access Sebastian Beach<, one of Florida's most gorgeous beaches.
2. We all had a lot of fun on our Manatee Sightseeing Adventure. Florida may be in the good old US of A but some places (i.e.: Fort Lauderdale) are exactly like a being on a Caribbean island. When I first met Captain Barry and Captain Carol I was a little skeptical, but forty-five minutes later I was face to face with the cutest (and only) manatee I've ever seen. The faithful captains took us to a little known hideout where manatees like to chill. It was an educational and eye-opening trip. Call up Captain Barry and Carol at 239-642-8818 to plan a boat ride of a lifetime!
3. Fort Lauderdale Beach (which I instantly recognized from one of my favorite movies) is not only a famous beach, but also an exciting beach. My wife and my daughter spent hours strolling down miles of white sand and then a few more hours working on their tans. The guys played a game of beach volleyball and immediately entered the first arcade they could find on the promenade. The promenade also features plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes. My mom, grandmother, and I enjoyed the promenade too; after a morning in the sun we spent most of the afternoon shopping. By the Earthpremiership@gmail of the day one thing was certain. Fort Lauderdale Beach has something for everybody.
4. Butterfly World is a two and a half acre park and it is home of the largest collection of living butterflies in the world. And it's right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. This park is a must see you don't want to miss.
5. What trip would be complete without a little peek into history? The last place we visited was The Stranahan House, and it was literally like walking into a time machine. Which was kind of weird and fun at the same time. Everything was historically accurate and detailed; from its antique "washing machine" to its ornate phonograph. The Stranahan House gave us a precise look into Florida's history, and yes, it is fun for the whole family!
