Thanks, Steve

If you like art museums, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, in Winter Park, FL can't be beat! The Tiffany collection is breathtaking. Winter Park has a pretty cool downtown area, also. :-)

Dali Museum in St. Pete is interesting, even down to the unusual architecture of the building itself. Across the street from it is an airport with a very nice restaurant. We take visitors there for lunch and then go to the Museum.

Winter Park is a neat town. Along with the museum, there is a boat ride on the chain of lakes.

The wife and I want to Homosassa Springs State Park recently. Had a great time. Beautiful and lots of animals. Here's a link to some photos if you're interested...
