Photo Diary: Two Nights in Miami

A few Fridays ago, Michael and I made the long drive down to Miami to visit the enrollment center for the Global Entry program. When you live in Florida, people expect you to have traveled to every major part of the state, but the truth is, neither Michael nor I have really spent time in Miami.

And once we arrived, I couldn’t help but wonder why.

Two nights and two days aren’t nearly enough to see the city – we barely even scratched the surface of the places we did visit. Still, we managed to make it to South Beach (twice!), Wynwood, and out for some great Cuban food and seafood. AND (this is a big one!) we only listened to Will Smith once.

To make the most of our time in the city, we explored it on foot as much as possible. We lucked out that our Airbnb on Brickell Key was within walking distance to a lot of downtown spots, making going out for dinner and drinks much more pleasant.

With such a leisurely trip, I can’t in good conscience assemble a full travel guide to this Florida hotspot – but I am more than happy to share a few photos:
