I am re-posting this entry as a reminder that this is available in case you haven't had the opportunity to take advantage of it yet.  You have until August 31st, 2011 to enjoy Vizcaya for half the price of the regular admission.

Vizcaya is one of my favorite places to visit in Miami.  I've been fortunate to attend many functions there and also to enjoy the museum and gardens.

I haven't been there in many years.  I will take advantage of this program to take my family this summer.

We will be staying in Miami this summer, I plan to be a tourist in my city.  I want my children to visit all the places we would normally enjoy if we were tourists here.

I'm positive they will love Vizcaya.  Take your family and come back and post your comments on your experience.
