We decided to head a little further south in Florida to do some exploring! We stayed at the Encore Miami/Everglades Park. It was a nice park with a good central location.

First we visited the Everglades and checked off another National Park. We’re glad we didn’t plan a special trip to see it, but it’s worth a day trip if you’re close by. So many alligators!!! Lunch at Joanie’s Blue Crab Cafe definitely made it worthwhile, a cute little place right in the middle of nowhere.

Next up we went to South Beach to see what all the fuss is about. We had a good lunch at the Boulevard Hotel then walked on the beach for a while.

Since we weren’t far from Key Largo we decided to head there for a day. We love the laid back energy of the Keys!!

On the way back North, we stopped at Faded Bistro and Beer Garden, another Harvest Host, and enjoyed a great dinner.
