Nope.

Cypress Gardens is in Winter Haven about 30 minutes from Disney World and may have closed down now, I can't remember. Cypress Grove is where redkop got married and I have no idea where it is. :rolleyes:

Cypress Gardens is indeed closed. There is still some frantic brouhaha going on at the state level; trying to find some dollars to make it a state park. Don't expect it to be open any time soon. Too bad, too. It was a neat little old fashioned park. One of the first in the state. I still remember, as a child, watching water skiing events on the television "live from Cypress Gardens, Florida."

redkop, I still don't know where your wedding grove is. :confused:

Oh my gosh, it's beautiful! Nope, I've not ever seen it. But depending upon where it is, I may not travel in that area much. I think I've sort of got an understanding of it's location.

But, it surely looks like something to check out. The grounds are so very pretty and I love older buildings.

Just a gorgeous place to have your wedding!

it was beautifull and the house is so cool Tink, i know if you find it you will love having a picnic out there, and its so quiet, it was like you leave the madness of disney and transport yourself to some desert island
