Differences I've found between Florida & Indiana
- Dry, yellow, sandy lawns vs. Beautiful, lush, green grass - The yards here are so lovely, the colors magnificent. You can take your shoes off and run barefoot through the silky blades. Do that in Florida and you wind up with sand burrs between your toes.
- Lukewarm tap water vs. Ice cold tap water - My water in Florida is warm coming out of our faucet because our pipes are in the attic and a hot sun beating down on the roof equals hot water first off. Here in Indiana, I have to turn on the hot water just to brush my teeth because the cold water is so freezing that my teeth and gums scream in agony.
- Drooping, colorful flowers vs. Vibrant, bursting with color flowers -The landscape in Indiana is so full of color and different types of trees while Florida's foliage this time of the year is thirsty and lined with palm trees. Of course, Florida's lasts longer.....
- A husband who keeps turning down the air vs. A husband who keeps the house frigid. - Yep, mine lives in a hot, humid state and my brother lives in the state where he can open all of his windows and let the beautiful breeze inside. It's odd.
- A hot sun vs. A hot sun - In Florida the sun beats down, the humidity is over 100%, you sweat and sweat, and you know to put on sunscreen. In Indiana the sun beats down, the humidity is mild, the breeze keeps you from sweating, and it is all misleading you into forgetting about sunscreen!

Let's not forget the similarities between Florida and Indiana:
1. Both states have 7 letters in their names and both end with A.
2. Both states produce weather that can cause a blackout. Florida gives you wind, rain, storm surge and no power in the dreadful heat. Indiana gives you wind, snow, and ice and no power in the frigid temperatures.
3. Both states have produced some amazing women. Florida - Madison and Darcy. Indiana - Cara, Susan, Kelly and Gabby!
4. Both states are generally Republican hotbeds! (at least until this past election - didn't Obama win Indiana?)
5. Both states have had the pleasure of having Dungy coach for them.
6. Both states have their irritating insect issues. Indiana - chiggers, ticks. Florida - palmetto bugs.
7. Both states are surrounded by water on three sides. Florida - Gulf of Mexico, Carribean Sea, Atlantic Ocean. Indiana - Wabash River, Ohio River and a tiny shore on Lake Michigan.
Enjoy the vacay!
