Vacation in Fort Lauderdale

We have been doing all the tourist stuff while in Fort Lauderdale and by far the best so far was last night when we took the Jungle Queen River boat and BBQ tour.

It took us on a hour long boat ride thought the river channels of Fort Lauderdale checking out some amazing houses, with there million dollar + yachts docked on their back lawns (amazing amount of money).

We ended up on the jungle island where we got to eat all you can ribs, bbq chicken, shrimp and of course lots of baked beans. After dinner we got treated to a show, and yes check out the picture, Julie was picked from the crowd to participate in the show LOL. We both recommend this tour and thank our new buddy Alfonso the juggler who got us tickets for this fun night. www.junglequeen.com.

Today we went to South Beach in Miami via a boat ride from Fort Lauderdale thru Florida's
amazing intercoastal water ways. This trip took 2 1/2 hours and was well worth it as traffic in Miami is crazy , not to mention finding a parking spot that wo
uld not break the bank.

While is south Beach we visited Miami Ink one of my daughters favorite TV shows and of course spent some time on the beach taking in the sun and the sights. By far the best beach was in Clearwater maybe because spring break had started ;) Really this is a great beach if you get the chance stop by and get a tan.

Our trip to Florida is coming to a end and we are now moving on and making our way to California via Huston TX and checking out Country Thunder a festival in Florence, AZ. This makes Julie happy as her favorite band is playing the ZAC BROWN BAND.
