Before you're next trip checkout the Autotrain. I don't know if you flew or drove, but since you're from Virginia, it might be to your advantage. We did our LSV two years ago in April and it was $900 each way. Big difference in the off season, were going back to visit Baltimore this August and it's only $750 round trip.
The train stations are in Lorton, VA, just outside the DC beltway by Arlington and the Florida station is in Sanford, about a 90 minute drive east of TV. With driving I figured one night in a motel, 35 gallons of gas and meals on the road, taking the train is only a couple of hundred more dollars in the off season. Also you save 1800 miles of driving on your car and yourself. If you flew, you would save the car rental while you'e in TV.
