So we ended up visiting:

3) Ponte Vedra, FL:  It's a big golfing community (since TPC Sawgrass is there), and it's very close to Jacksonville (which is an okay city).  The beaches are nearby, and Amelia Island and St. Augustine are both within an hour drive.  But it just didn't have anything that said to us "move here now!"  The restaurants there seemed somewhat meh (later post) and there didn't seem to be a great place to get any Korean food or groceries.  So we pretty much nixed it when we went to the next town...

2) Melbourne, FL:  The schools in the entire county (Brevard) are pretty good - all the way up to Cape Canaveral.  What annoyed the hell out of me is that they have two magnet schools that are extremely good, but it's a completely random lottery for the thousands of kids who meet the minimum standard.  Like WTF happened to a meritocracy?  So it's harder to get into than Harvard.  F.U.  The two biggest draws were the proximity to the beaches (which are nicer than the beaches in Ponte Vedra) and of course, the 1 hour drive to Orlando.  Sadly, we have the only kid in the U.S. who thinks Disney World is lame.  But hey!  There's also Universal Studios, Sea World and a boat-load of water parks, restaurants, and entertainment options, including cruises.  And there's even a poker room (altho I don't know what the stakes are - probably small).  Sadly, the restaurants and entertainment options in Brevard County are pretty meh.  Some of the gated communities are nice, but oddly the areas near the beach are kind of run-down looking .  I think in about 30 years, the whole area might become more upscale (like their southern counterparts), but I might be dead by then.

Anyway, for me, Brevard County was a close second, but the boss (Mrs. Fly) had a strong preference for...

Continued Sunday because I have a Saturday Guest Post (no more cliff-hangers - I swear!!!)...

BTW, if any of you guys that I know from 2+2 or the blog want to do a guest post, let me know.
