Miami and the Everglades:With crazy art deco architecture painted in an array of colors, Miami is a fiesta all the time. The Roberts finds time to join the party cruising South Beach and people watching in outdoor cafes. Miami is surrounded by the ocean. Find out what's best in the water on board an amphibious vehicle, playing in the waves, and checking out an aquarium with our host family. Next, they head inland to explore the Everglades where they come face-to-face with alligators on an exuberant airboat ride and a hike through the backcountry.
Space Coast and Orlando:
Launching into space or flying down the rails of some of the world's most incredible roller coasters...the Space Coast and Orlando is built for traveling families. In this episode, the Roberts visit Kennedy Space Center and watch as astronauts hurl into space aboard the Space Shuttle. After that it's time for some super thrills of their own with visits to Orlando's big theme parks. To complete their time, the Roberts kayak downriver to spend some one-on-one time with a manatee family.
Florida Keys:
The Florida Keys has been the subject of mystery and intrigue for many decades. Closer to Cuba than to the other United States, Key West is known for its independent spirit. The Roberts check it out by train in a tour of the sites, by boat at sunset and by bike. Be entertained by the vaudeville atmosphere of the famous Key West Sunset Ceremony, walk the plank at the pirate museum, hop on a bike and pedal your way through the revelers on Duval Street. The exciting atmosphere of Key West is contrasted by the quiet beaches as they head north to Key Largo where they get a slimy kiss from a friendly sea lion.- Studio:
