I have been down there a few times in the past year to visit my parents. Florida is, as I'm sure you know, hot, and miserably humid this time of year. That being said, the fishing opportunities are endless, and hog hunting abounds. There are beautiful beaches and plenty of places to Kayak. My Floridian step-brother tells me there are plenty of turkeys to hunt too. Another nice part about Florida is no place in Florida is terribly far from another, so you can see quite a bit of the state without seemingly endless drives. I enjoy my time there. What county will you be in?
As you mentioned in a previous post, change can be a good thing.
Be safe in your travels.

WTF you think will happen if you walk around shirtless on a Montana prairie in mid-July?
Catch a fugkin' cold?
BFE MT latitude - 46 N
Key West FL latitude - 26 N
Late June in Key West the sun is 4 degrees off of vertical at noon, late June in Montana the sun is 24 degrees off of vertical, in fact all year round the sun is always 20 degrees closer to the horizon at noon in Montana than it is in Key West. Ain't gonna do the math but prob'ly works out to be about twice the amount of sunlight hitting the ground per square foot in Key West on any given date, ergo the sunlight is twice as intense, this is the reason why it is warmer in Florida than it is in Montana.
Sun block gets old, stuff sticks to it and it gets in your eyes, hats and lightweight long-sleeve fishing shirts are the way to go IMHO. Or else being you're White you too can get skin that looks like a highway map in no time at all, no matter.
And them kids are good-looking, you're right, prob'ly ain't yours.

I was in FL at the end of July last year. I could live there for the fishing alone. The humidity didn't bother me. Hell, it's humid in this swamp most of the time the snow is gone anyway.
Flave is the type of guy that can have fun in any situation and will make the best of what's going on. If it sucks, they'll move. Some folks have a hard time figuring that out.
Good luck with the move, Travis. If you get up this way to visit the wife's family again, we'll have to match up for a beer and some wings again. They guys in that VFW are still talking about your fugly Blackhawks sweater!
None of those fugks could afford a sweater of that caliber.
They're selling stuff too. They want to move to Florida to be closer to these fugkin' goons:
Good lookin' brood you got there buddy. Hope you make it back up this way some time.
No! All the Montana guys be lining up goin, "great, a free place to stay when I head down there to fly fish the flats".

Thanks, '23.
I will be in Broward County but we are only renting for the time being.

Southern folk get real perplexed when you tell them it gets hot in other states.

Hurlburt to homestead seemed a bit of a jog, IIRC... Not so bad in a C-130
All kidding aside; this is seriously good advice. The sub-tropical sun down there will fry you, and especially your kids, in such a short time you won't believe it, even on cloudy days. The effects will last a lifetime. Most of the time I spent down there was long before the days of sunscreen and my shoulders are a mess.
If you don't want to spend your golden years being periodically skinned alive by your dermatologist, slather on the strongest SPF goop you can find every time you go out. Big hats and SPF shirts are a good idea too.

Okay Cupcake, have it your way. 👹<Your new look
I'd tell you to at least make sure the kids goop up, but I'm sure your wife has some sense, aside from one really bad life-choice.

I ain't so much the heat, its the sunlight, so intense at mid day it washes out the colors you can see, burns ya quick too. Next bicycle trip, if'n I had my 'druthers I'd run straight north the first 1,000 miles, just to put some distance between me and the sun.

I don't wanna sound like an ass hole, but it's pretty stupid to explain that a child should have protection from the sun when they're out in the sun. It's akin to telling somebody they should stay out of jail. Or not drink bleach. Or not point a gun to your head.
