Daytona Beach, Florida - August 2006
 |
| Cheekwood Gardens, Nashville TN. |
In August of 2006, Roman and I drove down to Florida from Minnesota, spending a night in Nashville on the way there. Our two main goals were to visit the International Space Center near Cocoa Beach and to see the Daytona Beach International Reptile Symposium. We visited Cheekwood Gardens, which was a delight - I would highly recommend going if you ever have the chance. They have wonderful sculptural gardens and an incredible array of plant life.
