Miami

Our last day in Florida we said goodbye to our Airbnb and then explored Miami. So many palm trees, coconuts, and banyan trees!

It was a very rainy day, but we started in Wynwood to see some of the artwork:

From there we headed to Little Havana and swung by Domino Park:

From there we went to a Miami Marlins game:

We saw the bobblehead museum:

They won!

Sadly, on our drive up to the airport, our flight got cancelled:

We eventually rebooked... though we got home much later! Ben loved his fold out tray table. We were very thankful to get back to our own beds!

Everglades National Park

After Biscayne, we headed to Everglades National Park. 

We headed to the visitor station...

We stopped at the Pa-Hay-Okee overlook:

We hiked the Mahogany Hammock Trail:

Then we headed to Flamingo to try to see some manatees...unsuccessfully:

Then we headed to another visitor center to pick up a tram tour where we saw our first alligator!

From the tram tour (which was excellent), we continued seeing alligators until we reached almost 100! I think Ben clocked our final number around 98.

Babies!

We got to stop at the Shark Valley lookout tower:

We wandered the ponds nearby:

We saw lots of birds - herons:

And then we headed to an airboat tour. I had never been on one before, but it was very fun and unique!

Turtles!

After the boat tour we got to hold Rambo (note Chris chose not to participate):

But we did swing by Miami Brewing Company on the way home:
