I find myself taking lots of photos of flowers here in Naples Florida (maybe my husband being a horticulturist has something to do with that).

This beautiful water lily I encountered at the Naples Botanical Garden. If you haven’t been yet, I suggest you make time to go. It’s a great weekend activity where the entire family can have fun.

The kids will enjoy the running through the fountains (don’t forget the bathing suits or just a change of clothes!), digging in the sand, writing on the sidewalks with chalk, and running around the cool fort, while the adults will adore the variety of gardens that showcase plants from around the world. Plus, there’s a great butterfly garden, too!

Me? I like the hammocks!
