Broward County Fair, Nov.17-27, 2005 http://www.browardcountyfair.com/

I have free passes to Young At Art for anyone who is interested.

If you have little ones and are renting a car, it's really easy to get there (will give you directions myself).....take advantage of the free passes and enjoy it!! It's a wonderful and fun place to take little kids....ages 2-8 especially! Thanks for offering that JV!!

I have done most of these things! I recently suggested Butterfly World to some friends, as we enjoyed it!

We have enjoyed these things:
Bonnet House
Jungle Queen
Seminole Casino
Sawgrass Mills (which we do on every trip to FL!)
Flamingo Gardens
Billie Swamp Safari
Sawgrass Recreation Park
Riverwalk
and Butterfly World

There is also a huge indoor flea market we sometimes go to!

Nita, you are either talking about the SWAP SHOP or the FESITVAL Flea Market...

http://www.floridaswapshop.com/ ... just an FYI... the Circus is GONE!

Thanks MTM, even though I've been to both, it's the flea market that I liked a bit better.

And there is a diner we go to EVERY time we're in FL. It is Ronnie B's Taste of the 50's! The owner even recognizes us now! We go there maybe twice with each FL visit, so about 4 times, and he comes over to have a word with us! It is typical diner food, and we get ff miles eating there!

Thank you so much for the wonderful information. This is a huge help.

Thanks for all the info. Sailing on Liberty April 1st & this will be my first time to Ft. Lauderdale.

Wow, didn't know this thread existed. Thanks for the info, see you in March.

Hanna,
Are you coming here in March??? We will have to get together!! It will be a blast!
