Florida provides great vacation opportunities
We all work hard at the office, but we also need to unwind every now and then. You know where I'm coming from. No matter how stressful the day or how dreary things get in the rest of the world, it's always a relief to get back home and collapse in your wife's arms for a well deserved hug, and to grab your kids and toss the adorable little rugrats in the air to make them giggle.
Well, taking this a step further, we all need vacations, and these are perfect opportunities to bond with your wife and kids, and make up for all the lost time you spent burning the midnight oil on those projects at work. one of the best places to check out for your family, no matter your kid's age range and interests, is the state of Florida. Here are a few hot spots down there you'll definitely want to take the family the next time you take a vacation.
Everyone knows about Disneyland. Odds are you went there in your youth too, and your kids will love it there! And if you never went there as a kid, well, now's a good time to catch up on lost time and go back to little-kid mode with your own bunch of tiny little troopers, isn't it? With 4 main theme parks and a lot of sights and events to offer at almost all hours of the day, Disneyland ranks as The top family vacaton spot in the world. It's recommended that you check out the tour plans offered so you can strategically plot where to go and see all the sights.
Cocoa Beach - just in case one of your kids is a teenage surfer duuuuuude!, this is definitely the place to go. It's Florida's most famous "surf city", and surfers around the world head here regularly. The waves are moderately challenging in some areas, gentle in others, and there are regular beaches where the rest of the family can just hang out to sunbathe and play in the sand. Also, Sebastian Inlet is located just south of Cocoa beach. This inlet is renowned the world over for having the most consistent surf and the largest crowds. Competitions are held here regularly, and if your kids are passionate about surfing, they'll most likely know about this place.
Dry Tortugas National Park - this little coral island offers some of the best snorkeling in the world. It offers some of the most colorful marine life around, set in beautiful unspoiled coral formations. There is also a 200 foot shipwreck called the Windjammer that is home to thousands of corals and schools of fish. If your kids are too young to snorkel, there are also glass bottom boat rentals that will allow your family to view the beauty of the marine life here without having to worry about getting wet.
Crystal River and West Palm Beach - kids love animals. Heck, most adults do too (unless I'm a still a kid and just never noticed that I grew taller), and these two places offer the opportunity to view two of the more adorable aquatic animals around. Crystal river is home to the manatees, which congregate there between November through April every year. There are, of course, strict laws prohibiting harassing the manatees, but would you really want to pick on a ten foot long, 1000 pound animal, no matter how friendly it is? West Palm Beach, on the other hand, is home to a drift current that allows divers to run with turles. Remember the surfer turtles from the movie Finding Nemo? You get the picture.
Pensacola - if you're a military buff like me, you'll want to head to this military town and check out the sights. Tanks, aircraft, heavy weapons of mass destruction, large caliber guns that go BOOM!, arms, and armor in general make this a unique town to visit for vacation. Just keep the kids away from the serious hardware, of course, unless you want to explain to the locals how your kid accidentally managed to shoot your toe off! Seriously though, the town has got excellent security (obviously) that keeps mishaps from happening, and you can take the family along to check the place out without worrying about little Timmy pressing a button and detonating a city block!
