VISIT FLORIDA!!!

Ponce de Leon first explored Florida in 1513 paving the way for 500 years of exploring the Sunshine State by billions of visitors from all around the world.  What better way to celebrate 500 years, than to give away a trip every week?

Florida’s 500 Years of Adventure Sweepstakes launched on January 14 and will run throughout the year.  VISIT FLORIDA is showcasing why Florida has been the world’s destination of choice for 500 years.  From beautiful beaches to world class spas to fabulous fishing and Old Florida Charm, there’s more than enough adventures here for another 500 years.

Be sure to enter the Florida’s 500 Years of Adventure Sweepstakes for a chance to win a new Florida adventure every week!  Each week, VISIT FLORIDA will be giving away exciting Florida adventure packages that include rental car, hotel accommodations, and other exciting “what to do about town” activities!

The prize packages sound amazing!  One that stood out to me is actually happening right now.  It’s the Bonaventure Adventure at the Bonaventure Resort & Spa.  Included in the prize package is four-day car rental from Hertz; Three nights’ accommodation for two at Bonaventure Resort & Spa; Full breakfast daily; 60-minutes couples massage at Bonaventure Spa; One hour Exclusive Airboat Ride Adventure for two at Sawgrass Recreation Wildlife Tour for two at Zoo Miami; and One hour golf lesson for two at a private country club.

Have you ever been to Florida before?  I have been twice to visit my mom and sister who live there.  The first time I visited, it was during the Christmas holidays.  We went to Busch Gardens, Walt Disney World, and Sea World.  It was packed!  However, I still had a lot of fun!  The second time I went to Florida was with my boyfriend, and we went for my little sister’s wedding.  It wasn’t so much sightseeing as it was wedding preparation and festivities.

I would love to go to Florida just to sightsee.  Have you been to Florida before ? What were your favorite memories?
