Two winters ago we spent one week each exploring 7 different spots in Florida. We hurried south late January to get to the warmth, then worked our way north. Some of our favorites were the Encore Miami Everglades park in Homestead. It is in an old avacado orchard! We spent a couple days driving the toad up through the Everglades, and a day in Miami. One of our weeks was spent at Highland Hammock State Park in Sebring. They have a great loop to ride bikes on, with raised walking trails through the swamp. Another favorite was Rock Crusher Canyon in Crystal River. Many things to do in the area, including seeing the manatees in the warm spring water, a day trip to Cedar Key and the Weeki Wachee Mermaids. You need to get reservations made ASAP. Have fun!
