Things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30 and December 1, 2013

Here are your Thanksgiving things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30 and December 1, 2013. Well okay, there are a few Christmas things to do as well - like the 25th Annual Christmas Made in the South in Jacksonville. And no we don't stuff our turkey with grits. Well okay, there may be a few, but it's a fading tradition. In fact, Florida has some peculiar Holiday traditions of its own - like Sand Sculpting. For those who's first Thanksgiving thought is " Let's go to the beach!" Make it Fort Myers Beach and the American Sand Sculpting Championships set for November 22 - December 1. These are the type of things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30 and December 1, 2013 that keep Santa coming back to our neck of the woods year after year. Word is, this year you can expect Santa's Arrival in Panama City Beach Nov 30th. Ironically that's the same day Stanley Paris sets sail from St. Augustine on his Around-the-World Voyage. Oh well, you win some you lose some. Either way, they are just two of the many things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30 and December 1, 2013. Check out this week's list for many more!
