Get ready for Easter with a trip to a park. You can be part of an egg hunt, an eggstravaganza, or meet the Easter bunny’s kin. You can register online for any of these programs, call 703-222-4664, or contact the parks directly.

On Saturday, April 2, 2011 at Sully Historic Site, add some Victorian charm to your Easter basket by decorating an egg with lace and flowers. The 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. classes for eight yearolds and up costs $7. There are also Easter egg hunts at Sully from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 9 for three to seven year-olds accompanied by adults.
