So it was around 85 degrees out, I had the A/C on in auto and my car was far from overheating. I drive up into my driveway and about halfway through I see smoke coming out of my middle vents, I immediatl put the car in neutral and shut her off, then put it in park. I opened the hood and smelled a bit of antifreeze but I think it was cuz it was jus hot. The smell went right away.
Then after a tiny bit of time I started the car back up and sure enough, more of the "smoke" came out. It felt really dense and had a hot water smell to it? Is this just condensation or hot water running on my A/C? It was white smoke.

It was probably condensation, I have seen many cars do that when the a/c is cranked way down and it is really hot and humid out.

Yeah it probably was. Have you checked your drain elbow for the condensation lately? If not, you might want to give that a quick look the next time you're under the car.

A 1998 Mercury Sable wagon I got with my mom (road trip car!) has done this in some trips I've taken... typically exactly when (as stated above) it's hot and humid out, I've turned the A/C as high as it'll go. The car has a STRONG A/C and it'll just blow ice-cold condensation right at your face  I love it. Unless this is really smoke... I'd say it's really just water |

Did you find out what was smoking?

It's merely the consequence of very hot,humid air meeting a very, very cold A/C evaporator.

Mist from the AC vents is a symptom of a low charge in the AC compressor, and the coils icing up under the dashboard.
