Florida
We have spent a considerable amount of time in Florida. Other than Missouri where we have lived for over 14 years, and Illinois where we both grew up (different towns), Florida is the state where we have spent the most time. The state is beautiful, and there is so much to do. Plus, the weather is wonderful especially whenever you are escaping the Midwest winter.
The panhandle beaches are the best beaches in our opinion, but there is so much to offer throughout the state. Key West is our very favorite place in Florida.
The national parks in southern Florida are water focused and so fun. They evoke a feeling of adventure, and each one is special in its own way. It is easy to combine these parks on a road trip.
