Cheryl's Weekend of Family Fun in Miami

 My daughter and grandkids had never been to South Florida, so off we went to visit “Uncle Brian” over Labor Day week-end. The kids had not flown since they were babies, and my daughter had not been on a plane for many years. Once we worked through what could and could not be taken on the plane (LOL) we were off for a full week-end of fun.

First stop Saturday morning was the Miami Zoo. We did not let 90+ temps and high humidity stop us as we spent hours and hours walking and riding around this beautiful zoo. It is amazing what they have done to restore the zoo after being destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

To cool off after the zoo we headed to the beach for a quick swim. Love the quiet natural beaches in the area, no South Beach for us.

Sunday morning we are off to Key Biscayne for a day on the water. Snorkeling the reef was amazing, watching the kids spot fish and even a shark, priceless. What a relaxing way to enjoy the beauty of the Keys.

Monday morning was filled with site seeing. The rest of the time we ate.  What an international city with many choices! Cuban was the most requested and devoured cuisine.  Many family memories were made.
