The biggest reason for going there was the NHRA Event at Gainsville Raceway, but we visited lot's of other cool things on the way, like "Big Daddy" Don Garlits museum in Ocala.
And when you are there go to "Bush Gardens" in Tampa, if you like Rolercoasters you got two of the biggest there.....
In Orlando you have Disney and Universal, we went to Epcot Center, It's worth a day.....lot's of nice things here!
And Universal, Like movies? here you can 'visit' them....cool rides....
When in Orlando, don't miss "Race Rock" !!! It must be the coolest place I've ever had a beer at!
