Floridian Christmas Trip - Advice needed

So we have two weeks coming up over Christmas/New Year's where the kids are off of school and I am off of work. So, given that we finally have a TV/TT combination suitable for a real excursion, we are thinking about doing the East Coast of Florida - from North to South along I-95 and then back along I-75 back to Tampa. There's a few things I'd like to get advice on:

1. Am I completely nuts? Will all the good CGs be sold out by now?

2. What CGs are good/recommended? The wife wants some cold (so Jax/St. Augustine area), and I want to find CGs with nice scenery to observe from the trailer in between pages of a good book. I'd also like to take the family on an airboat tour; I know there are some CGs near Miami that offer them.


I was thinking that Lake Okeechobee, Sanibel Island/Ft Myers, and Ft. Lauderdale might be decent target areas, but where would you go?

Try to get a spot at Ft Clinch SP in Fernandina Bch (and hope there's not a northeaster blowin), Stephen Foster SP on the Suwanee river over in White Spgs for a little old Florida and then back down to one of the state parks on the freshwater spgs. Some of the best Florida has to offer. Bonus side trip would be to the Okefenokee Swamp on the Ga border.
