My recent trip to Florida to spend time with my family, along with the advent of summer has me loving all things tropical. As much as I wanted to get away from Florida in the classic way people want to leave places where they grow up, with some time and space, I cannot deny my love for the place. The white sand beaches and bright aqua water, natural cold springs and rivers, vibrant flora and fauna, the pastel painted buildings, hot sun on your skin, and thankfully AC.
