Woke to a new day and time, took a swim, watched Sunday Morning with my gal pal Jane Pauley, and was on my way by 11 am. Had two things left on my list and was looking forward to them.

Wave Hotel– Lake Nona Sculpture Garden

The Wave Hotel is quite the place. It starts with the parking garage – an interesting version of art deco.

Then the Hotel and lobby..

Such beautiful and relaxing spaces.. Next the restaurant/bar listening to Reggie on Sax while sipping a peach mimosa – $15 including tax and tip, however, all other items listed from the breakfast menu $25-$35 range. Pricey, but priceless listening to Reggie..

View from the restaurant to the lobby..

The Bar and Restaurant

The Lake Nona Sculpture Garden is located in the hotel’s backyard. It is a must see and is free. Sculptures worth millions are located in this garden and are gracefully placed among palm trees. Haven’t seen a collection as beautiful as this since my visit to Rockefeller’s Kykuit. What an awe inspiring site. The Garden can also be viewed in the evening and what a site that must be.

What a collection!

From here visited the Lakeridge Winery on 19239 US Hwy 27. Great free wine tasting and service. Also found some delicious Port Wine, and purchased. Quite good.

Final stop… Starvo’s – a recommendation from the sheriff at Lakeridge Winery. Cops always know where the best food is. Yum… Gyros were almost NYC like and the coconut cake sublime.

In closing, one final sculpture from the Garden..

There is a life after Disney in Orlando!
