My whole family is planning to rent a home in Lakeland, FL, however my parents, siblings, sister in laws, cousins, aunt & uncles, & all the kids are living in one big house; In Lakeland, FL there are all kinds of locales you can rent out & enjoy the sights.
I like that Lakeland seems entirely clean, safe, & family friendly, then there is a lot to do & if you don’t want to, the sights are just as pretty from the house.
My partner & I have one son & my friend and I are thinking about staying close to the rental rather than going out & about. I think playing near the water, walking through town, & being at the rental will be good enough; One thing that is good about FL is the weather. My friend and I are thinking of going in the Summer when it is hot, but not scorching just yet. My friend and I will need the home A/C on high in order to be comfortable… However, it won’t be so tepid that it will be dangerous to the kids. I plan to pack a hat, sunglasses, & sunblock for my little boy. Most of the time he will be in the many lakes enjoying himself. That was my main stipulation for this trip. I Wanted to stay within the state of FL but also be near water. That isn’t difficult to do with FL though… Lakeland just seems so pretty & like a classier part than usual. I think the whole family is going to have a good time since Lakeland caters to a variety of interests.
