    Default FL Road Trip

    Flying down to FL with the family in a week. We start in Fort Myers where we will spend a few days with my sister and family (YAY!) in Cape Coral. From there we will drive up to the Tampa area to spend a few days with hubby's brother and family (UGH!) Seminole to be exact. So my question is what are the interesting, cool, fun, things to see and/or do, and good places to eat between the two destinations? I know it's a very short ride but we plan on making a day of it since it will probably be the only time we get to spend alone as a family.

    Hey South St.,

    Hmm. Not overly familiar with what's in the south by way of Fort Myers, but I know St Petersburg area has lots of cool, fun museums for not a lot of money, like the History Museum, the Salvador Dali Museum, the Pier (which has lots of tourists, pelicans, and an aquarium, among other things!) There's also Baywalk if you like more commercial malls. (BLAHH) Along Central ave in St Pete, they have one of the coolest little delis ever (Lucky Dill, THE place to get matzo ball soup!) and some other small shops and restaurants. You can also take in a baseball game at the Trop or visit Haslam's bookstore, which has TONS of stuff. (St. Pete is 15-30 mins drive from Seminole, to give you a point of reference.)
    If bigger stuff is your thing, we have Busch Gardens in Tampa, which is fun but a bit pricy, up to $60 admission I think these days, but you can spend the day there doing stuff.
    Anyway, that's just a few ideas...let me know if I can give you any more!

    see what places are listed on your route on the food network's show Diners, drive-ins, and dives.

    they've got some pretty kick ass places on that show.
