Jen takes us to Bok Towers / Historic Landmark

   Well last Sat. Jen, dad and I went to Bok Towers!  It is located in Lake Wales.  I really enjoyed it alot, beautiful grounds and it was a perfect breezy day for this day out! We left in morning so it was good and we missed the really big crowd that showed up just as we were leaving the place.   I got to go inside an old home from 1932 called Pinewood Estate. A man named Austin Buck lived in it still his death in 1945.  His wife never got to enjoy it or live in it for she died of a stroke before it was completed.  sad.  It sets upon a big hill over seeing the city of Lake Wales.  After two other families lived there after Mr. Buck died,  Bok decided to buy the house and the acres cause he had the money and it set high upon the hill......he had made it good here in the U. S. and wanted to give back .  Will paste in picture soon.
