Our first night in Miami we braved South Beach. It is a place with a very eclectic mix of people (which might be an understatement!) and it also boasts the world's largest collection of Art Deco architecture, which you know I enjoyed!
The Art Deco glam was further emphasized once the sun went down and the neon lights shone brightly...
Our delicious dinner that night included stone crab and fish tacos..yum! Daniel informed us that the reason stone crab is so expensive is because the fisherman are only allowed to pull one leg off of each crab before they realease it (a.k.a. one dinner = catching lots of crab!)
Our second and last night in Miami we visited Key Biscayne, one of Carolyn's favorite places and much more low key than South Beach! We first stopped at a Biscayne National Park...sadly the light house was closed and we couldn't climb up it!
The boys being boys....
And the girls being girls...
The Levi's then took us to their favorite hole-in-the-wall Cuban restaurant...so quaintly cute and authentic! We took our feast (which included Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, croquetas, plantains and flan to name a few!) to the beach to enjoy the sunset.
Cuban coffee = delish. Enough said.
It was cloudy, but still so beautiful to watch the sun go down and see downtown Miami come alive!
One funny moment from the trip was when Aaron just happened to mentioned his love for snow cones. Daniel got serious, made sure Aaron was serious, and then told him that his parents just so happened to have a commercial snow cone machine (his family used to sell snow cones at sports events around the city). As you can see, Daniel is still a master at making snow cones, and Aaron was a little excited about eating them.
Levi's - thank you for an amazing trip. We love you guys and look forward to many more adventures in the future!
