So as you may well know, we’re from Florida. Karsten was born and raised in Jacksonville (Duuuuvaal), while I finished high school in Panama City. I went to college in Gainesville, while Karsten went to college in Tampa. We met at a newspaper in Fort Lauderdale and called the Miami-area home for almost 20 years.

We have traveled through most of the state and have come to appreciate the beauty of the swamp. So what does the cup feature from the state the Spanish dubbed the Land of Flowers? Where do I begin?

Orange blossoms are the state flower. Cause the oranges made for juicing comes from the central and southern areas, right down the middle of the peninsula. Orange juice is also the state beverage.

The colors of the cup are green and pink, which pay homage to the lush, sub-tropical flora throughout the state.

The state flag was partly taken from the original Spanish flag that flew at the Castillo de San Marco, the oldest fort in the United States from the oldest inhabited city St. Augustine. The red diagonal lines are called the Burgundian Saltire and represent the time Florida was a Spanish colony from 1565-1763.

The state reptile is the alligator, the sabal palm is the state tree, but flamingos (shockingly) is not the state bird (that title belongs to the mockingbird). Flamingos are native to Florida, but it’s rare to see them in the while.

Key lime pie is a must, but you don’t have to the Florida Keys to try this tart dessert. But it is certainly a Florida staple.

I only recognize two places on the cup: The Historic Capitol in Tallahassee and the Kennedy Space Center. The Historic Capitol is recognizable by the red and white striped awnings over the windows and is more. KSC is a must, as there is so much to see and learn about our country’s space exploration. I had the privilege of spending the night there with a scout troop, and it was an epic experience.

There is a lot to do and see in Florida. Beaches are a must, but take time to tube down a river in Central Florida or take a tour of one of the many amazing state and county parks.
