Have you ever been to florida?
I have, quite a few times. I've been to the Florida Keys, Orlando, and Miami, which is the biggest urban area in the state. Very fun. 
I haven't been since I was a young but, the water there is so much better looking than the gulf in texas.
I've never been to the gulf in Texas. I think it's cool that Florida is the only state that borders both the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean.
