Today is the officially the first day of summer, but since school got out on June 8 and the humidity and summer showers arrived before then, I forgot we weren’t already well into it. A pleasant sign of summer in South Florida is the Royal Poinciana.
Whether swimming to get cool, playing in the sand, fishing off the shore, catching little crabs with nets, watching the kite surfers, or lazing under the shade of the palm trees, this is a great place to spend the day with kids.
If I were a shopper, I would add the Aventura Mall. I personally can’t stand shopping, but this mall is amazing. It is large, clean and has such a variety of stores. If you can’t find what you are looking for here, you probably don’t need it.
From May 15, the Pinecrest Repertory Theatre will be presenting David Mamet’s Oleanna. The production will be held at the Banyan Bowl in Pinecrest Gardens.
The Community Foundation of Pinecrest will be hosting the first annual soccer marathon at Evelyn Greer Park on May 2, 2010. A raffle for Norwegian Cruise Line tickets and other prizes will help raise money to support the Foundations programs for schools, cultural arts and seniors. All ages welcome.
I just attended a wine tasting at a friend’s home that was put on by AB Fine Wines. We tasted a champagne and several wines from France. In addition to having some very nice wines at extremely reasonable prices, Alex is knowledgeable about a wide variety of wines from all over the world and can work with just about any budget to either help you build your wine cellar or put on a nice evening event.
Well, its Ground Hog Day and P. Phil has predicted 6 more weeks of winter. Thank goodness, I guess. It is supposed to get up into the 80’s today here in beautiful South Florida.
Yes! Lately it seems there has been a horse invasion of Miami. The Lipizzaners a couple of weeks ago, Cavalia (through February 7) and this weekend’s Homestead Rodeo all are providing horse lovers with a variety of entertainment options.
Cavalia is a beautifully choreographed show with horses definitely stealing the scene. There are great acrobatics to keep your heart racing and a beautiful scene with several horses running around freely on the stage.
This weekend’s rodeo, with barrel racing and bucking broncos, is sure to be quite different from the choreographed Cavalia.
The Deering Estate will be hosting the ArtSoBay Exhibit from Sunday, January 31 through February 26. This beautiful historic estate and the lush grounds leading to Biscayne Bay make this the perfect stage to hear music from the Greater Miami Youth Symphony and view performances from the Miami Dade College Theater Department.
This event counts towards one of the New Year’s Resolutions for South Floridians!
Two sights within a 1/2 block of each other in Coconut Grove…just had to post them!
