What can we expect weather-wise, and what area would you recommend for an active family (taking into account that a beach vacation won't be guaranteed). The islands (Santa Maria, Gaspadrilla) sound great, but what do we do if it's not beach weather?

40's to 50's at night 60's to 70's during the day.

Anna,
The FL. gulf coast covers alot of territory! Sanibel would be a lovely place for a visit...and you could also visit the Edison and Ford Home while in Ft. Myers.Or how about north of there to St. Pete, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach and the Clearwater areas? Heading south...visit ritzy Naples 45 min...or keep right on going and get down to Key West. Gulf coast has lots of possibilities...
