Miami day-trip destinations in Palm Beach, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach add adventure to your weekend

If the stress of the holidays is looming large, maybe it’s time to hit the road and get out of town. There is a world of discoveries about two hours north of Miami, where the pace is a little slower, the crowds are a little slimmer — and Interstate 95 is way less of a cluster. Hopscotch past Broward County to discover the sights of Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Indian River counties on this guided day trip up the coast. It will take you from luxury shopping in Palm Beach to hiking through hardwood hammocks in Fort Pierce to an overnight stay in Vero Beach, should you wish to take a load off for the night. All you need is a tank of gas and your GPS of choice.Stop 1-A: 11:30 a.m. Poolside BBQ...
