This year I am all about weekend breaks from the normal daily routine. So I love day trips full of fun at a new-to-us playground, walks among gardens to see and smell beautiful florida flowers and grand trees, and short drive visits to local attractions.  I have declared this year as the year to explore with my kids the sunny state we live in. Today I want to share with you the perfect weekend breaks in or near Fort Myers, Fl– our hometown.
