Boomer Vacations in a College Town – As home to the University of Florida, one of nation’s top-ranked universities, education is the foundation for many-things Gainesville. So it only stands to reason that Gainesville is fast-becoming a hot-spot for active mature adults wishing to combine educational and entertaining adventures in a slightly off-the-beaten path Florida destination. Itinerary highlights include searching for pre-historic Mastodon bones on an archeological dig with the staff from the Florida Museum of Natural History or join in on a ‘Gentle Walk’ around the La Chua Trail with a Paynes Prairie State Park ranger or help grind sugar cane with the Florida Cracker farmers at Dudley Farm State Park.
