-The weather has been so nice lately so we decided to take a drive down to R.F. Orchids in Homestead. The great thing about living in Miami is the ability to visit the farms in the Redlands and then go to dinner at a 5 star restaurant in the beach. R.F. Orchids is a beautiful orchid farm with many varieties of orchids. On the weekends they offer a free tour at 11am. Although this is not really a “kids attraction”, it is the perfect place to visit with your child who is 1 year old or younger. Babies really love to see all the bright colors of nature. My daughter is almost 3 years old  and she was more interested in the cats roaming around the orchid farm. Although, she did love her mini phalaenopsis orchid and held it on the whole car ride home (until she feel asleep). After leaving we made a quick stop at one of the local U-pick farms and had a delicious shake.

- On a sunny day this is a great place to take the kids for a picnic after the beach. It’s beautiful, not too big and free! This is actually one of the first botanical gardens I took my daughter to as a baby. Don’t forget to bring your change for the parking meter :)
