Welcome to Ft. Lauderdale! Breathe it in folks. This is where Lucas and I stayed for a week: top floor suite on the beach. Jealous? I would be too if I were you. The resort is the Marriott BeachPlace Towers. It was a very nice resort in a great location. Ft. Lauderdale is a quick 45 minutes north of Miami on the Atlantic Ocean. We checked in on Sunday, grabbed a beer and a sandwich on the pool deck, unpacked, and got ready to enjoy the next 7 days.
This was my first time to FTL and Lucas' first time in Florida. I've been to Orlando several times and Cocoa Beach. My family is a big fan of Disney World in Orlando. Then again, who isn't?
