I mentioned awhile back, that we were thinking of going to Florida for our vacation this year. Well, we are now going for sure on April 25th for 1 week.
One of the places my DH wanted to go to was Epcot Center in Orlando. Well this morning I was reading my new Flowers & Garden Magazine and there was an article in it regarding the "International flower & garden festival" being held at Epcot while we will be there. Yippee!! They are having guest appearances during the weekends, but we will be going during the week.

Does anyone know of any other gardens in the Tampa or Orlando area that we might be interested in visiting or any attractions (other than Disney type stuff) that might be interesting?

Hey Mzmunchkin, are you close by any of those cities?

Thanks for any help, Donna

Tim, At Butterfly World, do they really have a hummingbird aviary, with hummingbirds to see? Have you seen it? That would be worth the trip to me !

Tim,
Thanks for the great places to visit. I don't know if we will have time for all, but will try for whatever we can make.

Yes, I will take lots of pics to share, thanks for the sendoff.
