Things to do in Florida August 5, 6, 7, 2011

Starting off this list of things to do in Florida August 5, 6, 7, 2011 are a few of the lighthouses you can visit this week to celebrate National Lighthouse Day. That falls on August 7th this year which is the same day many will be celebrating National Sea Serpent Day. Well okay, there aren't that many celebrating National Sea Serpent Day, but still,... there may not be many celebrating National Wiggle Your Toes Day on the 6th either but who's counting? Anyway, Florida's lighthouses have been protecting sailors and all aboard the vessels approaching Florida's shores for generations leaving a rich history to explore and enjoy. They have and will remain a beautiful beacon of hope in our darkest hour. To learn more about Florida's Lighthouses visit Lighthouse Friends.com. Also not to be missed on the list of things to do in Florida August 5, 6, 7, 2011 is of course the Wausau Funday and Possum Festival. Forget everything you've heard on the Beverly Hillbillies, because Wausau is the one and only possum capital. It should be a blast! At least one more event should be mentioned - Tampa Bay Comic Con. With Captain America and all the other comic book heroes making a humongous comeback these days, these events are a must for anyone who has ever peered through a pair of x-ray specs. Just one last note,... after you take a look at the things to do in Florida August 5, 6, 7, 2011, you may also want to check out the Theatre list with even more theatres being added this past week. Have a great weekend!
