6:55 Aw, when your baby girl said Grace. 🤗💜

[@AikenAdventures]

She’s so precious! 🥰😍🥰

[@hoops0926]

Good natured river tours is one of the best things to do. Or Manatee Scenic Tours. Andretti Thrill Park is fun for the kids. There’s great golfing here. Great dining options. Melbourne is all about a calm chilled lifestyle.

[@AikenAdventures]

Love it! Great recommendations!

[@alicenwonderland3813]

There’s never a reason to go to Wal-Mart 😂

[@AikenAdventures]

Renninger’s was definitely more interesting than WalMart for sure!

[@dessandrews2341]

We live in Melbourne this is where my husband proposed on the little dock🤍

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s so cool. What a nice area and a sweet story!

What are some of your favorite things to do in Melbourne, Florida?

[@cj4football881]

I love exploring in and around Melbourne. We have a vacation house down here and just yesterday we found a really good restaurant downtown. It’s called the mansion, great service

[@AikenAdventures]

Wow! We’ll have to check that out!

[@MrRyanpuddin]

I like to find swinger partys

[@gaugejones2950]

[@AikenAdventures]

Wow that’s great! What a nice town! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dializ7253]

Lived in Melbourne for 10 years and just moved to midwest with my husband, followed him back to his home state. Was born and raised in NYC and Melbourne still has my heart. Paradise is our favorite beach. Going to visit for our 1 yr anniversary 🥰🥰🥰

[@canadianmapleleaf7376]

I'm thinking about moving either there or the Tampa area. Not sure yet.

[@AikenAdventures]

Wow! Two very different places!

[@bjj18977]

Im in Melbourne now visiting pretty boring town they wont even let animals on the beach no thank you ill stick to my st augustine

[@AikenAdventures]

Saint Augustine is pretty great! Cocoa Beach is right up the road from Melbourne, too. It’s worth the drive, and depending on your interest level, Sebastian is a short drive south and there are some neat things there, too-for kids, La Porte Farms (maybe adults ,too), and the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum.

[@cherishdials3650]

I lived here for awhile as a kid. I have some great memories.

[@AikenAdventures]

Very cool! It’s kind of an underrated town on the Space Coast, I think. Really Palm Bay and Viera have become very nice places to live, too.

[@bpagan7781]

Nice video. You covered lots of ground. Your family is great. I loved that you pray before eating. Keep it up!

[@AikenAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! So glad you enjoy the video! Thanks for telling us your favorite part, too.

[@LobsterLover530]

Melbourne is a gorgeous untouched area with abundant wildlife. If considering a move this is the only area with amenities and a pristine beach.

[@AikenAdventures]

Melbourne does have a good mix of qualities.

[@U.S.Government]

@AikenAdventures Most definitely. I was a student at Florida Tech, then spent a couple years after my studies working. The respect and hospitality I received was second to none! 🤝🏻

Blast from the past....I grew up in Satellite Beach surf was awesome

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s fantastic! Melbourne Beaches are highly underrated in our opinion. Much less crowded than Cocoa!

🤣😂🤣 I think we video her eating super often! Sorry about that…. 😳 Someone complained about it on our first Jensen Beach video, we find it super entertaining.

[@stargirlzx]

Jim Morrison was born in Melbourne. Also check out LOU'S BLUES ON THE BEACH Is that the flea market where they sell coffins ? Seriously they do. Or at least they did. Just in case grand ma hasn't been looking too good lately

[@AikenAdventures]

Wow! That’s funny! I didn’t see any coffins, but I would definitely be keeping my eyes out for that! I would not be totally surprised if they did. They have everything else.

[@stargirlzx]

@Jeffrey Schindel I havent been there in several years. I hope that's not true. It was a great place

[@stargirlzx]

@Jeffrey Schindel wow. I guess I haven't been there in way too long . I remember when they used to have wet tee shirt nites lol. Too bad. It was a great place

[@yahboyee28]

As a person who was raised in Melbourne/ Palm Bay, it can be boring once you've done them your whole life. But as a visitor it does have many great things to do. I think you highlighted it perfectly.

[@AikenAdventures]

We certainly understand that. We leave the town where we live to travel all over the state even though there are things to do here…

[@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698]

I moved here 8 months ago and I find this area really boring

[@VictoriaGates]

You have great access to other places to enjoy from there though! Cruise port, airports, all of Orlandos many many attractions, down to Miami & the keys or up to St.Augustine and Jax all within a day trip. Not so bad that way. :)

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s true

Hi guys!! I just found your channel because I’m moving to Melbourne from NC next month and I’m seeing what all is there to do. Thank you so much for the tip about raw honey at the flea market!!! I eat raw honey every day as part of my diet routine. It’s not always easy to find local raw honey and I wouldn’t have thought to check there. Thank you for the tip, really enjoyed this whole video! 💜💜💜

[@AikenAdventures]

How cool! We’re originally from the Carolinas as well. What made you choose Melbourne?

[@julierocketqueen6257]

@@AikenAdventures hi there, no way, that’s too cool!! I grew up in tiny stanly county but have lived in Charlotte for the last 13 years. I fell in love with that area of Florida 2 years ago on a FL roadtrip. We spent a few days in Ft Pierce before doing the Melbourne zoo on the way to Orlando. Property prices are so good in that area right now, and it’s the perfect mix of clean and quiet and mostly locals but close enough to a big city with touristy things also. I’m so excited to move there!

[@AikenAdventures]

Palm Bay and Viera are pretty nice, too.

[@jhowardsupporter]

[@yesseniafernandez4421]

We are planning to move to Palm Bay, but not sure yet, concern about the schools 🙏🏼

[@AikenAdventures]

The area where we live has a lot of school options and that seems to be true across Florida due to things like step-up and other programs. Look into affordable private education and/or charter schools in the area and see if there are any valid options.

[@ridgelineify]

Skip the flea market. Everything else was correct!

[@AikenAdventures]

Awww. We liked it!

[@milagrosmoreno5064]

What do you say? It is a horrible beach because you can never bathe in it, how to enjoy a beach if you cannot enter it to swim because of the waves and the horrible wind that there is always? If you look closely, the beach is always empty with a lot of waves, no one can bathe there! Where is the attraction to a beach where you cannot enter it and bathe?

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s interesting. We only went there on a day when it was cold. 🥶

[@AikenAdventures]

Where do you prefer to go to the beach?

[@olivevideogames]

Whoa, this is wild. So I was born in Melbourne. I just randomly clicked this video to show my wife kind of what it looked like as I have an opportunity to transfer there for work. I would go there yearly to visit my grandfather every year after we moved away and I really love Melbourne. Then I saw your last name was Aiken when it flashed across the screen. I was pretty tripped out as even the spelling was the exact same. Don't see that often. Great video.

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s cool! The Aiken side of the family is originally from the Carolinas.

[@America12412]

We are over populated now😳

[@AikenAdventures]

Yeah, my cousins used to call it Melboring, but it really is a growing area.

[@mariabaird4727]

My favorite thing to do was get out of it. The smell that comes with that beach in the morning is horrendous.

[@AikenAdventures]

That’s interesting. I wonder why that is. We thought the beach that we went to was quite beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised.
