It’s July and we’re finally getting some nice weather. But we have nine months of cold and gloom and when the weather turns, I start dreaming of sunshine and the first place I think of when I need sun is Florida! While I’ve done the theme park vacations, I prefer the more authentic Florida charm found outside of those tourist trap areas. 
The places where outdoor activities are available in abundance, but there’s also something for everyone in the family. A location that offers plenty of chances to get out and see the wildlife, but where after a long day of activities, a great dinner can be enjoyed and savored in the warm evening breeze.
