Unwind in Fort Myers

Driving the Florida panhandle on Interstate 10 has got to be one of the nicest drives! When we first got to Florida, we had to stop at the Welcome Centre to get a picture, let the dogs stretch their legs and get some FREE fresh Florida orange juice! Yum! Fun little fact, you can get fresh orange juice at most of the Florida Visitor Centres!


When we finally made it to Fort Myers, Zoey was sooo excited to be back home! We adopted Zoey in 2015 when we still lived in Fort Myers and her first home was Zach's parents house. She got out of the car, went to the spot she used to go to the bathroom and ran up the stairs. She was so happy and relaxed. We even found her sleeping in one of the dog houses throughout the day! 

Don't worry we put some blankets in there after to make it nice and cozy!
It didn't take Kona long to make himself right at home! 


Unfortunately, the weather called for a lot of rain, which is to be expected during the summer months, so we spent a lot of time indoors. When it was nice, we ran out of the house to enjoy the sun. Mainly in the form of eating out, shopping, and going to the pool! 

Some of the best pizza in Fort Myers is at Vincenzo's Pastaria, which is only a few minutes from Zach's parents house. We always go for the lunch special, which is 2 large slices of pizza and a soda for only $5.00!


Another great spot for a snack is Sweetberry Bowls! They have great smoothie bowls. I always get the Pink Rainbow Pitaya bowl and Zach gets the Sweet Dragon Pitaya bowl! They are so good and a perfect treat for the hot weather!




One of our favourite places to shop is Miromar Outlets, and since the weather wasn't the greatest, we did a lot of shopping! 



Zoey's absolute favourite thing to do is swimming, so she was in heaven while we were in Fort Myers! 

It was a lot of fun hanging out with Zach's grandparents, shopping, eating out, and just taking a few days to relax after travelling across the states to get to Florida. We loved going to all our favourite spots and reminiscing about when we used to live here!
