“The added bonus of taking a child to Florida was the fact that every time we turn around there’s something exciting to do. This is where people come to vacation, so literally if you want you can have a stay-cation staying at home, enjoying a vacation anytime that you want. There’s always an activity going on, like the Crew National Rowing competition, events at the Asolo, The Ringling, Mote Marine, and South Florida Museum. There is always something new and different to do and there are great opportunities for people of all ages. The opportunities for students here are amazing: things like the Sarasota Fab Lab and access to universities and schools nearby are great.”
