It's officially: summer is almost over -- unfortunately, the start of the school year for some has absolutely no effect on the humid weather. Whether you have kids, teach, or just deal with the little ones running around the neighborhood, this is the beginning of the end; the school year is about to start up again. If you're looking to celebrate your return to freedom, enjoy your last days with your kids, or just eat, drink, and be merry, there is something fun to do in South Florida this weekend.
