Old Crandon Park Zoo
We recently met the family at Crandon Park Beach in Key Biscayne. We though it might be full so we got there a little early and visited the old Crandon Park zoo, located on the south side of the beach parking lot. It’s been around since the 1940′s and used to be quite an attraction from what I heard. It was even one of the top 25 zoo’s in the country at one point. Continue reading…

Visit to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden
We visited this small but nice botanical garden last year for the first time. It’s a couple of blocks from Lincoln Road, one of the busiest and happening areas in Miami Beach. But since then it has undergone a 1.2 milloin dollar renovation. It just reopened a few weeks ago, so we went this past weekend to check it out.

Fun At The Bromeliad Garden Fest 2011 This Weekend
It was a perfect day to go to an outdoor garden festival, bright and sunny but not too hot. There were plenty of vendors eager to help and talk about their products, crafts, art and plants. I was pleased to see it wasn’t only Bromeliads. There was a good variety of plants; from succulents to bamboo and everything in between. Continue reading…
