LOL, I haven't heard the expression "Newly Wed Nearly Dead", before! I'm trying to decipher what it means! LOL! I would imagine that at that time of year, the Atlantic side would be a little on the cool side??

LOL Julie! When dh and I went to Florida for the first time together, we stayed on the gulf coast, Indian Rock Shores (plus one WDW day ~ his first visit!). I was about 23 or 24 years old ~ the side walks rolled up at 5pm, just after the early bird specials in the restaurants. It was the most relaxing vacation EVER! It was in Florida that someone called the area NEWLY WED (for the honeymooners) and NEARLY DEAD (for the seniors) ~ OOPS! Now I'm going to get it! Yikes! It's way up there with me teasing my 74 year old MIL about shrinking! LOL! S

Which part of the coast are you looking at?

If you are looking at the West Coast, I highly recommend Tofino on Vancouver Island. Any resort on Chesterman Beach is good. This year, we spent March break there. The weather was nice and mild, no rain. There are miles and miles of beautiful sandy beaches, rocks to climb for my DD (age 6), waves to chase for my other DD (age 3), starfish and sanddollars to find, and beautiful sunsets to watch. I could go on...just let me know if you want more info...
