Florida - the Sunshine State
Many thousands of college students spend their spring vacation at the beach. There is lots of Sun, Sand, Suds and good food. A wide variety of ethnic foods are available, as well as gourmet dining. The prices are reasonable. The band shell is a focal point featuring a variety of rock groups, and other entertainment.
Florida is the perfect vacation hot-spot. Well known for its long sandy-white beaches, crystal-clear tropical waters, endless warmth and sunshine, and some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets.

A 60 foot wide antenna used to track ballistic missiles launched at the Air Force Missile Test Center's Cape Canaveral launching site gleams in the bright Florida sunshine. This huge piece of equipment, believed to be the biggest antenna of its type in existence, is called the TLN-18 Automatic Tracking Telemetry Antenna.
