Congratulations to all the kids who made it through another year of school and to all the high school and college graduates! And of course, special congratulations to the family members who sat through endless homework assignments, helped with your child%u2019s various project %u201cteams%u201d and made getting through the school year possible for them. As a mom of three grown boys, I know the time, work and dedication it takes to get through it all. So let%u2019s get busy celebrating summer! With almost 13 hours of daylight to work with, there are plenty of ways for you to enjoy summer right here at home. To help you get started, you can always go to our website at LasOlasBoulevard.com to find the amazing places to eat, drink, shop, exercise, visit galleries and just do some people-watching as you enjoy being on our iconic Las Olas Boulevard. You can literally have an amazing %u2018Staycation%u2019 right here in your own beautiful city from morning %u2018til night. Let%u2019s take a look at a few ways to do it.First thing to do in the morning is to start off your adventure with an amazing, larger than your head donut! The Hollywood Donut Factory fits this bill and you can learn more about them in our Member Spotlight article on page 12. If you prefer a more traditional kind of breakfast, check out Gran Forno Pronto, Big City Tavern and Wild Sea at the Riverside Hotel. After breakfast, jump aboard the Water Taxi at either of the stops on Las Olas and enjoy a boat rida and some fresh air on the New River and Intracoastal Waterway. Each of the Water Taxi stops make it easy to enjoy our landside attractions. You can hop off at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and spend a few hours exploring nature or debark at the south end of Bahia Mar and walk across to the beach. Or just enjoy the boat ride and head back in time for lunch and more exploring on Las Olas.
