AskFlorida Birthday Plan Help
I'm turning 40 in January. I've lived in Florida since 1998, and I have lived in Citrus County, Orlando and Gainesville. I've been to St. Augustine A LOT, Daytona, Tarpon Springs, St. Pete, Jacksonville, don't like Tampa. I went to Boynton Beach with my ex and that was cool but that's mostly residential. I went to Miami a few times but didnt get to see much nature and I'm not sure if there IS much to see, I also never go to go to Miami Beach so I'm not sure how that is either. My main interests are going on trails, seeing wildlife, and I love coffee snacks and cats.
I'm eyeing the Everglades, because I've never been there, but St Marks preserve in Tallahassee looks cool, too. I am trying to see nature and wildlife I can't see normally at home here in Gainesville. We thought about doing the everglades AND key west, but it's just so much driving.
I just wanted to see on here if anyone had suggestions for other locations to check out that I may have missed and could consider.
Thanks!!
