Colorado is a bounty of unique experiences for adventurers. But it also has a mellow, laid-back side that's great for people of all ages. My research into taking a trip to Colorado may have started with looking for cheap airplane tickets one weekend, but what really convinced me was all of the options for exploring outside Denver--a verifiable playground for nature and scenery enthusiasts!  

Florida continues to be one of the top places for tourists in not only the country, but the entire world. An incredible 105 million tourists pick Florida as their holiday destination each year. So it's no surprise that when we're not traveling or working, we're hosting visitors to the sunshine state in our home. This summer alone, we are expecting 18 visitors to stay with us, and that's not including the 10 visitors we've already had this year!

So, I have plenty of experience hosting guests and recommending them some cool places to visit in and around in the South Florida area, along with, of course, just hitting THE BEACH. 

Here are 25 places I continue to recommend to family and friends to check out when they visit. The last three places on the list I have not been to yet, but have heard good things about them. Every other place I've been to myself, or taken tourists many times! Even though I've seen these places several times and taken a million pictures already, there are many I would still go back and enjoy each time.
