This past weekend Peter, Brett and I traveled down to Florida to attend a friend's wedding and visit our cousin's Patti, Tim, and Grey Leonard (more on the trip in future blog).
On the first day of our trip Patti suggested taking us to the Mounts Botanical Garden to see their event called Waterpalooza. However, soon after arriving we could tell that this was not really our scene.
When we arrived we were handed a stack of literature about water conservation, the gardens, and a sheet that we were supposed to have hole-punch at each exhibitor table (The water conservation people clearly don't care about killing the trees). Being the competitive people that we were we set off to get all 15 of our hole-punches.
By the fourth table we were pretty bored and realizing that hearing a lecture on mulch or toilet water wasn't worth the lame raffle you could potentially win if you managed to get all the hole-punches. So we decided that we would go to the exhibit for the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary so Peter could see the animals before heading home.
At the exhibit there were two animals to see, an owl and a skunk - both of which delighted Peter to no end. While he was laughing at them and petted the skunk there was a man behind the table taking pictures, whom we assumed was from the Busch center and documenting the event, until he introduced himself and asked for our names.
This morning on the front page of the Palm Beach Daily Newspaper there was our picture! Click here to see the online story.
