Lake Wales, Florida

We thought this would be a quick stop on our way toward to Orlando. It's not quick, but definitely worth a stop!!

Bok Tower Gardens features a historic Olmsted landscaped garden which makes for a lovely stroll to stretch your legs.

But the highlight is the Singing Tower. It's not only beautiful to look at, but make sure to hang around to hear the music of the Singing Tower carillon!

Also on the property is El Retiro, a 1930s Mediterranean-style mansion. There are beautiful mosaic tiles outside and inside the house. I enjoyed the house tour, and was especially impressed with the doors. Each door is different and unique.
