| Watch the bridge go up |
| Royal Palm Way, Palm Beach / Okeechobee Blvd./ WPB/ |
|
 You may think I’m kidding, but I was reading the paper the other day and there was actually a whole photo series of shots from the bridge. I love it when we’re crossing the bridge (on bike or foot - when I’m in the car I just get annoyed) and it goes up. I like to take my life and my children’s lives into my hands and stand right up next to the barricade. When the bridge is all the way up, I get completely terrified that the light posts are going to fall down on top of us. But they never do. |

| Another thing I’ve never done but really want to do. I’ve never gone to a drive in so I don’t know if it’s fun or frustrating (can you really hear anything?). But, I just wanted you to know it’s there. |

| The owner may now be charging a small admission fee but it’s worth it if anyone you know is into vintage cars. I’ve also been to a party here and it’s so much fun. The building is totally vintage and there’s a rug in the big freight elevator. |

| Look for ideas in the Shiny Sheet |

 During the season the Shiny Sheet comes out everyday but during the summer it’s only put out on Sundays and Thursdays. I’ve gotten a lot of good tips about things going on (unfortunately sometimes a day too late). But it’s great for getting plugged into what’s happening (like the tree lighting on Worth Ave.). |

Hey, did you say something? Bowling is fun! This bowling alley is very nice. It’s worth the drive all the way up to Jupiter. We went to a birthday party here once and have been back a couple of times to bowl on our own. During the week they sometimes have specials so it’s worth calling ahead if you’re interested in saving money.
During the dark days of summer this is a must have thing to do on your list.
Oh, if you were wondering, you get off on Indiantown and go east. It's about a half mile down on the south side. |

I "heart" Pilates. I took a couple of sessions of mat classes here. I loved how it works on your "core". Basically everything that falls apart once you have kids. Another great thing about Pilates is that it's great for all ages. Three generations in my family have done it at one time or another. I noticed that after every class I felt like I was sitting super straight in my seat in the car - like I was going to hit the roof of the car.
I really enjoyed going here. |

| Like it isn't hot enough in South Florida, go do yoga here and you'll sweat like you've never sweat before. This kind of exercise is addictive. It is not for the faint of heart though. When I am done working out I drip to the car. I really like going because the exercises are always in the same order for the same amount of time and there's no talking, so you can just zone out. I know you're supposed to think yoga things but I usually decorate a pretend beach house or make a grocery list in my head. |
