* It will NEVER snow
* You can go swimming year round
* One hour drive to the Beach / Atlantic Ocean

* Great Shopping, 2 HUGE Outlets Malls, Upscale Shopping Malls all within 20 minute drive
* Tiger Woods, Shaq, Patrick Ewing, Jonny Damon and others have houses in our neighborhood
* Publix. It's the local grocery store here 5 tiers above Smiths or Albertsons, it reminds us of the Harmons in Draper where we shopped in Draper
* Panera Bread - It's Paradise Bakery meets Kneaders with a hint of Zupas, they're all over Florida and the east, I've been to at least 6 different locations already
* There are direct flights to pretty much every major city in the country

~~Warning: Most of this list will be removed once the summer ends~~*There are no mountains, which also means there's no where to go to escape from the heat
*During the summer, it pours rain almost every day, sometime between 3 - 7 pm
*We never know exactly when it will rain, so you always have to be prepared, or just don't go grocery shopping unless you are ok getting soaked
*Gas Pumps - they don't have those little locks on the handle, so you have to hold the dirty pump in your hand the whole time you're pumping - even in the rain and heat
*It really is pretty humid here
*It really is pretty humid here* No Cafe Rio, Costa Vida, Bajio, Tia Rosas, Oreganos, Gurus, Paradise Bakery
Oh and one other thing that I like about living in Orlando ...
Him.

cute post...especially the last part. but yeah the gas pump thing...ewww. sorry girlfriend.
Rachel, you are having so much fun in Florida. Even your list of complaints isn't that terrible. (Really, who wouldn't want to go grocery shopping in a downpour?)
You and Tyler are an adorable couple.
And, yes, cooling off at night would compensate for any amount of heat during the day. I'd take a downpour of rain and humidity over 105 degree weather at 10 pm.
I luuuurve Panera. oh how I miss it terribly. I drag Steven every time we're in CA. so delicious!
Welcome to Panera Bread country. It's wonderful that this great bakery-cafe of the east is slowly moving west. We even have a few of them here in little, old Des Moines. :)
PS- How do you know Steven and Wendy OBryant? He's my BYU roommate's brother. Small world.
it was fun getting together with you guys the other night... lets do it again soon! glad you are enjoying publix and panera! and AMEN about the cafe rio, etc. maybe tyler and adam can franchise one out here...lol.
