Looking For Free Things To Do In West Palm Beach? Visit the Society Of The Four Arts And Bethesda By The Sea
Life in South Florida is expensive, and visiting any of South Florida’s attractions can leave you out of pocket, especially with a larger family. I am always on the hunt for places that don’t break the bank or are entirely free. By sheer luck one day looking at the map of West Palm Beach, I […]
The Norton Museum Of Art – Culture And Fun In West Palm Beach
If, like me, you had absolutely no idea that this fabulous museum and event space existed, there could be a reason for that.

Many know it for the animals (of course lots of Flamingos) and gardens, but it also has an interesting history and a lovely historic home on its property.

Escape Traffic And People At Wellington’s Environmental Preserve
It has to be said: I am not the biggest fan of any man-made “nature” areas, which is what the Wellington Nature Preserve is. However, now about eight years old, it would be quite hard to tell that it is indeed man-made, if the signs at the entrance weren’t saying as much. There isn’t much […]
