It is only nine years until your children will leave for college. You could have a summer home here until then that you and the children could use for one month. You could rent it out. Or you could move to another part of Florida until your children are launched. The problem is that you are old enough but your children are not.
Gracie,

Unless it has changed, the kids are allowed to go to the school if their parents work inside TV but not necessarily employed by TV. Our former church secretary's daughter was able to attend. The lady now works for one of the doctors who built his own practice here, and I think her daughter still goes to the school.

Homes in the Spring Arbor (thanks for supplying the name) section were being advertised by TV in the Daily Sun about 7 years ago. We started subscribing to the Sun (mailed to us) after our initial visit in 2002, and I saw the ads then. They were listed under Family Section stating that children were welcome. It was later explained to me that they didn't pay the ammenity fee and were not eligible to use any of the ammenities supported by the fees. Beyond that, I didn't pay much attention to it because we had been out of the "kid business" for many years. We were just looking to retire.
