The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky


 Periwinkle was daydreaming of her boyfriend when all of a sudden she hear the familiar WOOSH which made her jump!  Stinky bounded out of the Teleportation Tunnel and they both fell over giggling and holding on to each other.

"What were you daydreaming about?" asked Stinky.  Periwinkle blushed and said she was daydreaming about the time they were going to spend together.  Stinky was happy to hear that Periwinkle was thinking of HIM.  They spent some time whisker kissing and catching up on the previous week.  Soon it was time to head out for their Adventure.

"Where are we going today?" asked Stinky.  "Not too far but we're going to take the Teleportation Tunnel to save time" replied Periwinkle.  They held paws and jumped into the tunnel to head to their destination.

With a WOOSH they arrived.  "Where are we?" asked Stinky.  Periwinkle said they were in Vero Beach which is only 40 miles from her house and were at the McKee Botanical Gardens. 



The two tabbies held paws and began exploring.   First they went to Grand Central.

They were both amazed at the stick sculptures.  Perwinkle told Stinky this was called Grand Central, and was woven out of willow reeds twists and arches through a grove of royal palms forming rooms and spaces to explore.  Both agreed this looked like loads of fun.  They spent some time wandering around and even stopped to sharpen their claws a couple of times.

Next, they headed through a path that was nice and cool and filled with greenery.  Stinky mentioned that he was surprised at how warm it was where Periwinkle lived.  She said they were having super hot weather but it was nice in this shade.


As they continued their walk, Periwinkle let out a loud SQUEEE and Stinky turned around to see what she was looking at.  Both of them gasped and said "OMG, a LIZARD!"  The lizard was part of the display of animals made of Legos!



They found the pirate ship in the Children's Garden.  Of course, Stinky had to climb to the top!


They looked at the White Orchid display in the Spanish Kitchen.


And Stinky had to get his paws wet in the Waterfall!


The were amazed at the Flip Flop art.


"There sure are some beautiful pieces of artwork nestled in the gardens" said Stinky.  Periwinkle agreed as they passed a beautiful display.

Before they had to head home they decided to stop at the Garden Cafe for lunch.  They both remarked at how nice the selection of Fancy Feast and Temptations was in spite of the shortages everywhere.


They got into the Teleportation Tunnel and headed back to Periwinkle's house where they spent some time cuddling, whisker kissing and holding paws.  Stinky visited with Periwinkle's Mom and fursibs and, too quickly, it was time for him to leave.  He got into the Teleportation Tunnel, blew another kiss to Periwinkle and headed home.  Periwinkle sighed and went to find her fursibs to tell them about her day.
