I wanted to do something different for Alicia’s birthday and so I found a night at Disney’s Vero Beach resort. She and Mel had actually stayed here before and said the place was very nice. I would have liked to make it a 2-night ordeal, but because of the holiday, we could only get one night. Still, we enjoyed the place.
What was fun was that we used it and a nearby botanical garden for taking Alicia & Melvin’s Save the Date photos for their wedding. It was a short trip, but nice. |
Birthday in Vero Beach: 05/20/16-05/21/16 |
The resort is to the left, with our kitchen and the view from our balcony. Below we walked to the beach and took a couple of photos before Madeline and Mel took a dip. |
Alicia got a special present for her birthday. At night there was a storm out on the Atlantic, and I was able to capture a streak of lightning coming down from a cloud below the full moon. |
We had breakfast at the resort and a couple of real characters joined us at our table. |
The McKee Botanical Garden was mostly about trees and green plants more than about brightly colored flowers. There were some cool lily pads, though.
Taking engagement photos was definitely a lot of fun, but towards the end of the morning, we were getting rather hot and sweaty in the Florida humid weather. We got a little silly. |
