Choosing which things to do in Florida Feb 12, 13, 14, 2011 may be a difficult task having at least three different themes going on this coming weekend, but sprinkled throughout this week's 'Things to do in Florida' list you'll find events related to Black History Month, Valentine's Day on the 14th and of course Florida Week for the Animals which made the last post on Florahome USA. Also, the subject of another recent Florahome USA post about Florida's cattle ranching history and the Florida cowboy is a new exhibit opening Feb 12th at The Florida Museum of Natural History but you have until May 18th if you don't catch the opening. Another event you are this time unfortunately limited to only one chance of seeing is Rachelle Ferrell's perfomance at the Ritz Theatre in Jacksonville February 12th, so don't miss that one. Then there's the performance, this time in Sunrise, Florida with Andrea Bocelli that is also just for the one day, but at least it's on the best day possible for one of the most romantic voices of our time. How many get to hear Bocelli live on Valentine's day? For those Valentine's Day romantics in Florida on a limited budget, be glad you're in Florida with beaches on the gulf from Pensacola to Naples and on the Atlantic side, from Amelia Island running all the way down to the Keys. And there are free events as well and many events that have themes of their own like Polk County Florida's 150th year celebration. Yes friends, there are some tough decisions to be made this week, but don't be discouraged - the list of Things to do in Florida Feb 12, 13, and 14, 2011 is finally on the web! ,... now why are you crying?
