A reason I do it is that at least for the past two years treasuries were yielding slightly higher than the same duration CD's. If you buy through Schwab/Fidelity etc check the current rates.
A side benefit to treasuries is that they are tax free if you are not a "legal" Florida resident. They can also be bought directly from the US Treasury via a Treasury Direct Account.
An advantage to CD's is that you can sometimes find some that pay monthly if that is important.
