Of the many things to do in Florida April 22, 23, 24, 2011, ninety three percent of them include eggs. That number is really just a guess but one quick look at the list this week and it's pretty obvious Easter is here. It's no accident Easter happens in the spring with flowers being the perfect illustration of our Lord's resurrection celebrating the renewal of life as they rise up from the ground reaching toward Heaven. All those eggs in their bright spring flower colors are a reminder to kids and kids at heart to be happy for the life we are given and to be grateful to the one who gives it. The Easter Bunny, a life giving symbol himself as it were, will also be making numerous guest appearances around the state. Carrying over from last week, there are still a few more things to do in Florida April 22, 23, 24, 2011 having to do with Earth Day. Though it may be true that the health of our Gulf is nearly back to where it was before the BP oil spill, we still have a long way to go in bringing it up to the level it should be. This is true not only of the planet's oceans but the land and air as well and these Earth Day events planned around this weekend provide the perfect starting point. If you missed Jimmy Buffett last week you will have another chance to see him, while another celebrity we haven't seen in Florida for a while - Tom Jones will also be here providing the ladies with some hot entertainment --- My My My Delilah! So have a Happy Easter and hope you find some great things to do in Florida April 22, 23, 24, 2011.
