South Florida

After my sister’s wedding, my cousins and I drove down south and visited Miami, Key West, and the Everglades.

  • Palm Tree, Miami, Florida

    Beach time

  • Jet Ski, Key West, Florida

    A day of snorkeling, paragliding, jet ski, and even some banana boat action.

  • Alligator, Shark Valley, Everglades Park, Florida

    A bike ride through gator country

  • Dolphin, Everglades Park, Florida

    Atlantic bottlenose dolphin in brackish water

We drove just over 1,000 miles over three days; the weather was pretty good, although we did have some rain and turbulent water in the Keys. If you’re ever in Miami, definitely visit the Everglades, which is less than ninety minutes away. The Shark Valley Tram Road is a fun bike ride through a small portion of the park where we saw many alligators and other local fauna.
