Florida Bucket List – What to See, Do and Experience at least Once

Since we are determined to experience Florida and as many of the wonderful things this state has to offer, we thought it would be a good starting point to make a list of all the things we all ready know we want to do.  We are calling this our Florida Bucket List Revisited, as we previously made a Florida bucket list and realized how many things we are missing….  I am sure we are missing things, and as such, this list will be changing throughout our quest to complete it.  Will we get it all done?  Who knows, but one must have goals, and well we think this list is a great goal.

When I read this list, it feels so daunting to me, but I know if we put our mind to it, we can get all of these items done.  There are several that really don’t require a full roadtrip, but rather a day trip from Walt Disney World, or as we are calling it, Traveling on a Tankful – 20 Day trips from Disney World on one tankful of gas.   Those will be the vast majority of what we cover over the next 12 months, but we are also hoping to cross off some of our bigger Florida Bucket list items.
