GIADA & JUNGLE ISLAND

We got tickets to the South Beach Food & Wine Festival family event at Jungle Island this past Saturday.

 Sammy sat very still and had her face painted to match her sister!

 The main reason we went, was to see Giada De Laurentiis. She did a demo with questions and answers, followed by a book signing and pictures.

Unfortunately, Miami parents are rude and Jungle Island didn't do a good job of controlling them or their parents. About a 1/4 of the audience left early when they explained the pictures would be happen afterwards at the book signing. People were letting their children run up and down. It was embarrassing for Miami. 

 Joey loves The Barefoot Contessa and Giada. When I asked her who her favorite was, she said Giada because she's prettier and Daddy likes her better!

 Jungle Island is really well done. It is a nice place to visit. It's just that the regular admission is to much. They do have specials throughout the year so keep an eye out for a $10 day. 

 The Parrot Bowl bird show is really cool. They have the only trained Cassowary (think ostrich like) in the world!

 Someone was wore out!
