Been there. I've had 13 different addresses in my life (so far). Had to move a lot as a kid for my father's job and it still continues today as an adult. All that PITA packing and unpacking.

I went to 3 different High Schools because of the moves. I was always 'The New Kid' who had to fit in. Very tough on kids.

If you're considering the move just for the weather, give it a lot of thought before uprooting your family..
But if it's for BIG BUXX, go for it. Besides, as you've discovered, it's a LOT cheaper to live away from the Northeast.

Houses are cheap as hell down there. Good chance we could pay cash for one after selling our stuff up here.

3k+ sq/ft house with 5+ acres for $120k down there.

120k? my god thats insane with that amount of land.

Yes land is cheeper down here, but all in all its about the same. Gas is more, food depending can be more etc etc. But the roads are straight and flat and its sunny year around down here so can't complain.

I'm contemplating a move to FL as well, just north of palm beach..got a good opportunity down there as well. and though I honestly love my job I'm sick of the cold , brutal winters and almost getting killed on a weekly basis and getting thrown around the boat like a rag doll in the rough, talk about sore!

I've spent a good amount of time in the tampa area and love that place, housing is cheap, cost of living is cheaper etc etc.. I'm not familiar w/ the area I'd be moving to though. one thing you might want to consider since you have kids is how much the public schools suck down there! so you might want to add the cost of private school into the equation too.
