Making the decision: Relocate to Florida?

It's been a great hiatus here at Manatee Hammock in Titusville FL...we're really enjoying the area, the climate and the ambiance.  One of our jobs down here this season is to look into moving permanently from CT to FL and I can see that happening.  We love spending more time outside, the lack of snow and ice....the early dinners and the whole retiree scene. It's been a trip!

Kincaid at the dog park with the new dog Charlie, Feb 12th, 2011...Titusville FL

We took Kincaid to the local dog park with Charlie, the new Cavalier from Georgia that's camping down the road from us.  Kincaid is the official "uncle" and is showing him the ropes :).
