Today my family and I visited the 5th annual Chocolate Festival at Fairchild Tropical Garden. The weather was perfect for an outdoor festival; the temperature was in the low seventies, sunny and not a cloud in the skies, weather like this is why we love living here.
There was plenty to eat and plenty of chocolates. This festival is one of the most popular for the garden and this year was well attended.

This year the garden is exhibiting the U.S.’s largest outdoor exhibition of works by French sculptors Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne. The exhibition, features more than twenty sculptures, including works never before publicly exhibited in the U.S., and they are very appropriate for a tropical garden.
The succulent section of the garden has become my favorite; there is always something new to see.
