Our diversity is our strength, and we are proudly telling this story to the world.” Ft. Lauderdale features beaches, boardwalks, and boating, perfect for anyone looking for rest and relaxation.
2. Scottsdale, AZ
Scottsdale is the trendy heart of the Phoenix Valley. Between Old Town, Fashion Square Mall, and Top Golf, there’s plenty for families, friends, and couples to enjoy.
