When you live in Florida, it’s easy to take for granted all the wonderful things about the Sunshine State. We have the best weather, the best beaches and the best wildlife in the country. But it’s not just the stunning scenery that makes our state the best – the people are pretty amazing, too. Here are 10 things that Floridians are the very best at.

1. We've mastered the art of relaxation.

In the self-help section of your local bookstore, you'll find tons of books about how to relax and stop being so stressed. Floridians never even crack those books open; we're the best at relaxation, hands down.
2. There's no better key lime pie in the world.

It's hard to even walk along our streets when the tourists are all drunk and sloppy and bumping into everyone. Floridians are pretty laid back folk, though...we just take a deep breath and move along.
5. We host the world's best parties.
