Florida Trip, Part 2

The day after our visit to the Magic Kingdom, we drove down to Lake Wales to visit Bok Tower Gardens. There were no crowded lines, no cartoon characters or princess, and no rides. It was just a beautiful day and we had a fantastic time.

Ally tried on a beard of spanish moss.

We even found an alligator on our drive back to the hotel.

Then we went swimming in the hotel pool before dinner.  The perfect end to our trip.
