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.

Looking to take my family on vacation. My children have never seen the ocean. There ages are 23 & 20. Sad I know. We want to take a vacation and spend a bundle. 
I am traveling to the Cocoa Beach area this weekend, are there are locations along the beach (anywhere really) that have the cabana umbrellas? I am traveling with two little ones and if I don't have to bring an umbrella, even better!
I am a Floridian and I live in Miami. I would like to take several small 2-3 day trips this summer to explore some of Florida's most family-friendly places. I have a set of tweens. Do you know of any other hot spots besides Orlando?
