The folks in Plant City know strawberries!  The shortcake is to die for.  We bring a flat home and enjoy it for days.

The “singing tower” carillon at Bok Tower Gardens.  It is a grand instrument in a beautiful tower built in the center of a magnificent Olmsted designed garden.  A Mediterranean Revival mansion, Pinewood Estate is spectacular.  It is the winter home built in the 1930s by Austin Buck, an executive at Bethlehem Steel.  I could spend a few months here, as long as it comes with its full complement of staff.

Rural King. It is a fun stop.  They have just about everything from food to clothing to farm implements.  Unlike Big R or Tractor Supply, they even have baby chicks, ducklings and bunnies.

Vero Beach.  Nice!  Beautiful blue against a soft white sand beach.  Relaxing.
