Question

So Florida is far, I want to come, it’s Thanksgiving, what are my options, what do I do?

Answer

Thanksgiving is the Roe family’s favorite time of year! It is always spent with family and any friends who decide they want to be a part of the traditions, laughter, and endless memories. The Dormady family has been joining us the past few years which has been very exciting and we can’t wait to introduce the rest of them into our family this year. If you find that you want to come down to Florida and catch some sunshine for a bit of a longer trip or maybe your family doesn’t have huge Thanksgiving plans, or you just feel like switching it up for a year; feel free to book a hotel somewhere near Singer Island / West Palm Beach which is where we will be spending our Thanksgiving on the beach. You are MORE than welcome to join and we would love to spend the extra time with you! We will all be heading to Okeechobee on Friday which is about an hour from West Palm.
