South Florida bucket list
My wife and I have one final year left of living in West Palm Beach. We have been here for 2 years but have not been able to experience much due to her being in a medical residency, me traveling for work, and we have a 1.5 year old girl.
Now that the little lady is older, my wife is a senior resident (at least 2 weekends off a month!), and we have 1 year until we move away we want to make a bucket list of things to do.
For fun I thought I would ask the board for suggestions. Kid friendly and non-kid friendly suggestions are welcome. I'm doing this for fun so if you are not interested in contributing no problemo!

Actually did that for the first time this year and it was a blast. I actually live in Wellington about a mile from the fields. We had a friend who setup a tailgate and everything. Great suggestion and ill throw it on the list because its worth a repeat.
I did Key West for one night. I think we will put an entire weekend in Key West on the list.
Disney with my daughter is on the list.

Key West for either Fantasy Fest or New Years Eve. Not if you're prudish.
Key Largo for scuba diving. Snorkel around Ft. Jefferson, Dry Tortugas. Actually, snorkel anywhere in the Keys.
Hemingway house, Truman's white house, butterfly sanctuary all in Key West. And catch the Cat Man on the quay at sunset.

Polo was my #1 too.
For my #2: Is the bar in the Breakers hotel with the tropical fish swimming around under your drinks still there? A great spot for crab cocktails for lunch.
#3 is dinner at Chuck & Harolds. People watching at its best!
#4 - definitely Key West
#5 - a space shuttle launch. Drat it's too late for that.

Chuck and Harold's is long closed. The owner when down with his ship in the Perfect Storm, the same one the movie was made about.
The restaurants were swallowed up by Landry's who turned perfectly great restaurants into crap.
Bucket list with the kids, especially in the summer is the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables.
Air Boat Ride as well. I prefer the one in Cooper Town, but have not been out there in years, so others may have ideas.

Not sure if you've made it to Key West yet, but Dry Tortugas was one of my top travel experiences this year. I still fantasize about it.
Also, Biscayne National Park and John Pennenecamp State Park in Key Largo for snokeling/glass bottom boat tours.
