I love vacationing in Florida - it's the southernmost state in the southeast region - have you ever been?
No I have not! What's it like?
Well it's bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico and Alabama.  The gulf has the best beaches - white sand and crystal clear water - nothing like the Atlantic.
Wow it sounds beautiful. I bet there is some good surfing spots there?
It does have the longest coastline in the contiguous US - not including the barrier islands - so there's obviously a lot of opportunity, but the Gulf itself is rather calm 
What's your favorite thing to do there?
Well, I do love the water on the Gulf of Mexico, but of course there is also DISNEY!!
