ANNA MARIA ISLAND, FLA.—After some fun at Legoland in Winter Haven, Fla., it’s great to return to family-friendly Anna Maria Island and its gorgeous beaches and amazing sunsets. There’s fun to be had here, too:

Lego lovers of all ages will get a kick out of Legoland Florida Resort’s themed zones and the Legoland Hotel.

WINTER HAVEN, FLA.—We’ve all played with and created amazing things with Lego, and Legoland in Florida lets both kids and adults enjoy the experience on a larger scale.

I convinced my nieces, ages 9 and 13, along with their parents, to join me on a Florida gulf coast holiday, with a two-day side trip to Legoland Florida Resort in Winter Haven.

Salting the donuts

ANNA MARIA ISLAND, FLORIDA—If you’re looking for fun in the sun, great food, beautiful beaches and peace and quiet, Anna Maria Island, should be a destination on your list. And I do mean “quiet;” there is a noise by-law in place past 10 p.m. to keep everything peaceful for residents.

Not wanting to spend my hard earned money on a rental car, Anna Maria Island made it easy for me to leave the driving to someone else. That someone is the driver of the free trolley that takes you around. The trolley runs the length of the 11-km. island. And the island is very walkable.

Rowing at Nathan Benderson Park

BRADENTON, FLORIDA—A trip here means one thing: sports. This part of Florida is a great place for all sorts of sporting activities, whether you like to participate or watch:

Rowing: When I heard that a new facility had been built in Bradenton for the 2017 World Rowing Championships, it went to the top of my list for my visit, as I am a rower.

At one time, the Nathan Benderson Park, was just a catch-basin pit for road construction. But it’s been transformed into a world-class rowing, dragon boat, kayak and canoe-racing facility.
