I'm with Gracie - Florida is not a pretty place. I've enjoyed coming to Florida in the winter over the years for the tourist traps, but never wanted to live here. Then we drove into The Villages in 2008, and it was all over. The place is just wonderful, and that's not a word I normally use. I love Gracie's description of driving into TV - It's like when the color came on in The Wizard of Oz. Other than Disney, I've never seen a prettier place. Doesn't look like Florida.
