[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funnily enough we just relocated to Gainesville, Florida after 16 years in DC. We love it. Warm community, great college town, great jobs, and [b]you can get to the ocean and gorgeous beaches in a 2 hour drive.[b] [/b]After commuting 1.5 hours each way, everyday from Baltimore to DC and back for work my husband loves making the beach trip. No sweat for us former DC drivers. We do it quite often. 
We miss our longtime DC friends, our old neighbourhood, the Nats games and more but we come back and visit quite a bit. we love Gainesvile and our elem school kids do too. And don't get me started on the affordability. We made bank on the sale of our DC home and have cut our costs in half basically. Schools are great and again the warmth and kindness of this town is astounding. Makes me wonder why I put up with the vitriol of the DC metro area for so long. You deserve to be happy, OP. Consider Gainesville. [/quote]

One of the former Florida native posters, and I had to point out that a two-three hour drive to the beach was such a culture shock to me moving to the DC area. The first time friends took me to Ocean City, my reaction was "we drove three hours for this???" Anything more than a 1/2 hour drive to a good beach is uncivilized!  :lol: [/quote]
