My Connections
I would love to visit Florida some day because of all the fun places to visit and see all the beautiful flowers. The most interesting thing I learned while doing this is the state fossil known as Eupatagus. I loved learning about this state because of the interesting facts that this state has. Like the famous people and the state symbols.
