Thanks guys. I have considered the Gulf. We took Spring Break in Tampa 4 years back and had a ball. 1 beach day at Clearwater, an evening at the Dali Museum, a day on the Pier in St Pete, an afternoon in Ybor City, all very nice. Other than NASA, I'm not too set on anything this time, although the further north and west we stay, the shorter the ride home.

I certainly appreciate knowing where to avoid.
