Our second day in Florida, we left Patti’s house and headed

towards Miami Beach…..but of course, living with a

gardening fanatic, we had to stop in Naples and check out their

Botanical Garden.

They came after us in a golf cart and told us we would have to

come inside because there was lightning in the area….
