Things to do in Florida (when it rains)

With Florida becoming a more traveled-to destination on my itinerary list, I'm faced with the challenge of finding new things to do in Florida. Obviously, the beach is nearby and there is always a pool in someones backyard, but what happens when it rains? Here are list of things to do in Florida when it rains:

1. Go to the beach. Yes, the beach. There are plenty of beach-front restaurants with indoor seating. Grab a window table and watch the storm roll in while you sip a tasty drink or enjoy a fish sandwich.
2. Head to the outlet mall -- any of them. There are hundreds of strip malls in Florida -- find one you like and start shopping.
3. If you're visiting Florida during hurricane season check with the local Red Cross and see if they need any items for displaced families. Get a list and then get shopping! You'll feed your need to shop and also something nice for others.
4. Rent a good movie and pop open a bottle of wine. It doesn't matter if you're not outside, it matters that you're not in the office.
5. Grab your camera (and an umbrella) and head outside. It might be raining, but it's the perfect opportunity to take pictures of a tempered waterfront. (Watch out for lightening.)
