The weather and the beaches are better than Ohio, but nothing beats Hawaii.<BR/><BR/>Let's see... My family went to Daytona Beach on Spring Break almost every year between '82 and '88, and then we went again in '90 or '91. (Since we are pack rats, we still have the red plastic "Spring Break 84!" McDonald's cups to prove it.) <BR/><BR/>We did a lot of different stuff down there besides theme parks, but I know we hit Disney World, Epcot, MGM, and Busch Gardens. I prefer roller coasters to Mickey Mouse, fake Europe, and zoos, though, so give me Cedar Point any day. <BR/><BR/>The movie stuff was okay -- I think we saw the Indiana Jones show, where the fake boulder runs down the track and almost mashes the guy, and we saw the house that they used for the exterior location shots on <I> The Golden Girls</I> (which was still on the air at the time, I think). Oh, and I got my photo taken with the Ninja Turtles, which was cool. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I've ever been as far south as the Keys. I know my parents and my sister went to the west coast of FL one year when I was in college -- I think my spring break was the week before my mom's & sister's, so I got screwed out of the trip. I'd like to go to Sanibel Island, which is famed for its seashell collecting.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315817930908086069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178228.post-1162787680081875812006-11-05T23:34:00.000-05:002006-11-05T23:34:00.000-05:00You MUST go to Florida. It's awesome. I went to Di...You MUST go to Florida. It's awesome. I went to Disney World in 91, and it was getting out of control then. But I would like to go back. I'll probably tag along when my sis and b-i-l take the kids. And the Keys--beautiful.<BR/><BR/>You can visit me when I finally stop talking about moving there and actually move there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
