Easter in Miami 2011

According to Wikipedia ( have you heard of that site?!) ... Easter eggs...

" Easter eggs are special  goodies that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime. The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth of spring and was adopted by early Christians".

The definition goes on to say that these eggs are typically dyed or painted chicken eggs. Modern custom is the delicious  chocolate egg we have all grown accustomed to giving and receiving,  One of our favorites is the plastic egg filled with jelly beans. 

We all know the story... magically ... somehow a Big Bunny delivers these marvelous delicacies to children on Easter morning. To gather their goodies anxious  boys and girls are presented with baskets filled with imitation straw. This wiry bed is a modern day version of a bird's nest.

Now that you are in the mood here is a selection of events hosting Egg Hunts in Miami:

Miami Seaquarium

Jungle Island

Miami Zoo



For the adults amongst us the following are our recommendations for Sunday Brunch:

The Biltmore Coral Gables

Finally after a day of egg hunting and an lovely meal; a gentle walk through the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens is a must.

Happy Holidays to all in Miami and South Florida.
