Visit science museum when you travel to South Florida

If you get a chance to take a trip to Florida, your kids or grandchildren would love a visit to the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale.

On a recent vacation, I went with my daughter and 4-year-old grandchildren. We had a great time.

The museum offers more than 200 interactive exhibits. You'll see:

• A 11,000 square-foot nature trail with information about the Everglades.

• A space exhibit with a simulated trip to the Moon or Mars.

• The Discovery Center, designed for children under age 7.

• The largest living Atlantic coral reef in captivity.

• A frog exhibit with 15 live frog habitats and 12 interactive stations.

• Sharks.

• Bats.

• A 12-foot snake.

• Alligators.

• Turtles.

• Iguanas.

An IMAX film Theater also is available.

What a vivid and practical description of home exchanges. I wish I'd felt safe enough to try then years ago. It was not until a met several couples in S.F. who met because they were all in an upscale neighborhood and on Home Exchange so they thought they might share travel interests... and have gone on to help each other with exchanges.

I wrote about the experience in this post, fyi You May Not Fall in Love On Your Next Trip, But….

Hello Rita,

Thank you for the recent visit and comment on my BabyBoomerAdvisorClub blog. It was so good to see you again.

If I had know you were this close to me, I would have driven over to see you. Boston is a long ride but to the Space Museum, less then 2 hours.

Glad you had a great vacation.

Southern smiles and world peace,
