What To Do On a Day Trip to Miami

May 23, 2016

Last week’s vacation was some of the best unwinding I’ve done in a while.  During my last day in Florida we headed to Miami for a few hours.  Per my request, we visited the Wynwood Walls and we also went by and checked out Vizcaya {where I seemed to take a lot less photos #oops}.  I’m sharing some of my favorite photos below!

I’d seen the wall murals at Wynwood in numerous blog posts and knew that if we went to Miami, I wanted to be able to experience them in person.  My love for bright colors and pattern shows a lot in my personal style and also translates to what I appreciate in art.  Taking in all of the different murals, which were all so unique, was something I really loved {and so did the crew for the day #phew!}

This was the last building we went to during our stroll around the wall art, but my dad must have asked me three different times if we were going to come back to this one. I love the varying stripes and the optical illusion it creates — across from this building are several buildings, including one that was painted to look like marble! #Swoon

I practically sprinted across the street to get to this mural; I love the bright colors and kaleidoscope effect of this painting.

After Wynwood, we stopped to eat lunch at La Camaronera, a restaurant that was featured on Food Network, and it was delicious.  Admittedly, I was mildly concerned when I saw patrons walking in with their own six packs, but the food more than made up for it.

Then we headed to Villa Vizcaya.  The estate sits on the Biscayne Bay and is beautiful.

Inside the house, there is a strict ‘no pictures’ policy, but the outside was much prettier, in my opinion.  The back gardens were very intricate and maze-like with several smaller gardens split off on the sides.  Surprisingly, I didn’t get any bug bites while wandering outside. I did get to see a few different lizards, including a gorgeous male with an orange head.  The male lizards kept doing push ups to impress the lady lizards, but I was entranced as well.
