If you’ve never been to McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, Florida, you must go! It’s so beautiful! There’s 18 acres of waterfalls, bridges, tons of plants, flowers and lily pads! The first time I went I even saw a baby alligator and he scared me so bad I jumped. I though it was a fake one to scare off other animals (you know like the fake ducks anchored in a lake) but he was sooooo real. We later found out from the garden workers that he was an uninvited visitor and they had to call in local animal services to come and pick him up.

Such a local tourist. Is that even a thing?
This was my second time visiting the garden and I wanted to bring my My Mamma to show her around!
See the water on my shoes? Those are rain drops. Out of nowhere it got so hot and humid and started to pour. My mom and I ran and hid under a covering. Typical Florida day. 5 minutes later it was sunny but the humidity didn’t leave. It got so warm after the rain my mom and I couldn’t stop sweating. I don’t think we lasted an hour before we had to leave. The back of my dress was soaked! I would highly recommend going in the Spring time when all of the flowers are blooming and your not a sweaty cranky mess.
Seriously the cutest baby pineapple ever!
After it stopped raining my mom walked around with my little niece on FaceTime showing her around the garden. They talked practically the whole time we walked. Here’s me showing her some of the garden. Yep, looks like I’m taking a big ole selfie.
