Hi! My name is Marisa Bower. Though I'm not "officially" a Florida native, I've lived in Palm Beach County since 1978, attended Palm Beach County public schools, and returned after graduating from the University of Miami.
I have always liked living here. Here's my theory: people retire in Florida to "live the good life"... so I decided to skip the years living up north, shoveling snow, suffering through gray months, and just enjoy my life here, "living the good life" from the start. As the owner of Sunshine Travel, my professional focus is the same, highlighting all the great reasons why people should vacation in Florida.
But my primary "job" is taking care of my family! I have a great husband, and 4 children: ages 10, 7, 4, and 2. Given the age differences, it can be tricky to find activities that satisfy everyone at the same time...but I like to try!
In this blog, I'll share our adventures in Palm Beach County (as well as other parts of Florida). For every activity we do, I'll instantly have the opinion of a Toddler, Preschooler, Grade-schooler, and Tween. (No teens yet, but from what I understand, they're not really happy doing anything!) And while "4 Kids in Florida" is about 4 kids, it's also about things FOR kids to do.
Hopefully, we will inspire you try something new in the area, re-visit an old favorite, or expand your to-do list for your next trip to Florida. If you have something you'd like to see in the spotlight, feel free to drop me a line at 4KidsInFlorida at SunshineTrav dot com!
