Florida’s Refreshing Fort Myers Beach

Florida’s Refreshing Fort Myers Beach

From my home in Ft. Lauderdale a day trip to the west coast of Florida is satisfying. Our first trip to the Ft. Myers area allowed us to explore some of the best attractions around, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford’s house, Bowditch Point Park, and Lover’s Key State Park. The Thomas Edison and Henry Ford house was an enjoyable start to our day, but finding it was a little difficult. There weren’t any signs off I-75, the main North/South highway…

The Wild And Scenic Loxahatchee River

The Wild and Scenic Loxahatchee River

I recently had one of the most exciting adventures of my life. The afternoon started with a plan to drift lazily down the Loxahatchee River taking pictures of wildlife, as I would be blanketed by the shade from the 500-year-old Cypress trees. That plan was suddenly exchanged with an adventurous kayaking trip that I would never forget. Canoeing and kayaking on the "Wild and Scenic" Loxahatchee River is day full of adventure and beauty that is a must do for…
