in the 70s and low 80s &#8211; and comfortable at night in the 60s which was GREAT for early February 2014 when the rest of the country seemed to be buried in snow.<\/p>\n<p>We visited the coast while there. \u00a0One thing I find interesting about the Atlantic coastline of Florida is that much of it has &#8216;dunes&#8217; separating the beach from the roads and homes etc. \u00a0These dunes aren&#8217;t like what I&#8217;m used to in the desert where it&#8217;s just a hill of sand. \u00a0These dunes are covered in bushes and palmettos. \u00a0They&#8217;re also very fragile so there are signs everywhere to not walk on the dunes, and there are wooden walkways going over the dunes to the beach where there&#8217;s beach access.<\/p>\n<p>Here are pictures:<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner > div{\r\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\r\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\r\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect2 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect3 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect4 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect5 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \r\n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t  }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style><div class=\"robo-gallery-wrap robo-gallery-wrap-id7120 robo-gallery-grid\" ><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cSpinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13cRect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_69e5b0ddaf13c\" class=\"robogallery-gallery-7120\" style=\"width:100%;
