First time in Florida.
Why didn't ya'll tell me it was so freaking gorgeous here? I'm visiting some friends near Jax (in St Augustine to be exact), and holy crap it's 10:30 pm... still in the 80s?! Man... a guy could get used to this.

Thinking about it... hehe
One thing I will say is food is quite a bit more expensive. I don't think I've paid under 9 bucks for anything since I got here. But hey, I'm from Indiana where the state sales tax is 8%, so we're slowly catching up and we have crappy 50 degree weather in May. lol

It's been a good time so far, I have just a few more days to soak up the rays and enjoy being outside in shorts.  |

James
You need to come back between November and January
I have a friend in Indianapolis and I have "fun" calling her and sharing that I am in shorts and that my hubby is out playing golf
She hasn't hung up on me yet  |

Hey, I grew up in Indiana!! Actually, I don't have that Southern Pride thing for my old Hoosier state, so no offense taken. JamesinFW, Glad you're enjoying your time down here! I take it you live near Fort Wayne? That was one of our "bigger" cities to go to when I was growing up in Warsaw. Hee-hee... I did like going to the restaurant Cheddars there, though. |
