Tag: Broward County Here We Come – In A Stylish Car Of Course

My buddies & I first came to Broward County in 1992 when my Uncle Leonard offered the guys and I his house for spring break.  Leaving the sleet & snow of Montreal, Canada behind, we hit the road never dreaming this would become a yearly pilgrimage for nearly a decade.  Each year, when Uncle Leonard hopped across the pond to indulge in all things wild and wonderful in Amsterdam, we’d cram our backpacks into the trunk of my Ford Falcon and make the 26 hour trek south.

Broward was filled with partiers … but we were there for the flora & fauna.  The Everglades had been our joint fascination for many years and then … in 1990 we’d heard about the newly constructed Riverwalk and were intrigued.  When we got wind of the Butterfly Garden we vowed to get there no matter what.  Thanks Uncle Leonard!  You gave us the doorway to paradise!
