Sometimes, Fort Myers gets a bad wrap for a lack of variety for fun. But if you can take the time to explore it, there are tons of places worth paying a visit to. I've personally scoped out each of these spots to experience them for myself. The beach isn't the only place to have fun!

1. The Grind Coffee Bar and Café

Not only does The Grind have the BEST coffee in town, but it's the perfect place to go if you're in the mood for a place that has a relaxing, quaint, and unique atmosphere. Even in a place that feels like a city, it's bustling with regulars that the friendly employees call by name! Also, try to score a booth under the brick awning — so peaceful!

2. St. Matthews House of Treasures

Do you love thrifting? St. Matthews House of Treasures is open every Saturday, and they're stocked with cute and fun finds. It's set up like a house, complete with furniture, decorations, clothes, well-decor, bikes, toys — and EVERYTHING is for sale!

3. Zoomers Amusement Park

Zoomers is a hidden-gem amusement park complete with an arcade, two types of go-carts, mini-golf, and a bar/restaraunt! Whether you're going with your friends, your significant other, or your family, you're bound to have a day of fun and feel like a kid again. They even have pricing packages specific to your preferences for that day.

4. The Animal Refuge Center

The Animal Refuge Center is an extremely well-kept animal center located in North Fort Myers. If you're looking to spend time with some cuddly pets-to-be while making a positive difference, head on over for a tour! They're always looking for volunteers.

5. Bentofu Sushi and Boba Tea

Bentofu Sushi and Boba has been one of my favorite spots for a while now, ever since I discovered it off of Exit 136. They have some of the best sushi in town, tons of boba tea flavors, and tons of different entrees. Not to mention, the atmosphere is so relaxing. They're also open late on weekends. Win, win, win, and win!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
