I'm a wordsmith, Miami native, mom of two boys and a die-hard Floridian with one pair of closed-toed shoes. We hit the road when the school bell rings to explore everything from citrus tours and sandy shores to toddler-friendly fun and teen-approved thrills. If you're looking for the perfect Florida for your family, you'll find hundreds of ideas right here - from a mom who knows.

There are three Sundays left in August to take advantage of this fantastic offer.
 
Every Sunday in August, you and your family can enjoy the splendor of Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden FOR FREE! That’s right! No catch, no strings, just come and wander through these gardens in all their summer glory (and they are glorious) from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Sunday in August.
 
If you’ve never been to Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, you are missing out – this is one of the world's preeminent botanic gardens! Amazingly, this place opened back in 1938, and to me, their 83-acres of vivid greens and bursts of colors are like therapy for my soul. I bet you will feel the same. Walk through their extensive collection of rare tropical plants including palms, cycads, flowering trees, tropical fruit trees, vines and succulents, and your blood pressure is bound to drop!
 
Wondering what there is to do here besides ogle the sheer beauty? Have a family picnic, sit on a bench and read your favorite book, let the kids play on the grass, or hop on the tram for a narrated tour that includes the history of Fairchild and more. 
 
Fairchild Garden is located in Coral Gables, right off Old Cutler Road. For more information about this beautiful place, log on to their website. See you there this Sunday!
