When I began the blog I wasn't aware of all the cool things that Florida had to offer so I started doing some research and I was blown away. I made a list of all the things that I would eventually like to do with the family and add to the other section of the blog. I was going to keep this to myself and only add the items once we had done them, but I didn't want to be selfish and figured that you may want to skip ahead and do some of these things with your family before I was able to with my own.

I really enjoy doing things with my family on the weekends. When we first moved down here and I looked up "things to do in Orlando" in google I always got the same results - Disney, Universal, Gatorland, Sea World. There is so much more to do and see in Florida that is "Unknown" to those who visit and to even those that live here. I wanted to help others find things to do with their families so that they can create memories that they could look back on for years to come.
