After my last trip which was to Nepal last summer, I told myself my next vacation would need to be a super relaxing, legit vacation. Where else to go but Miami.....right? :)
Upon arriving at the airport I don't know what got into me (excitement) but I refused to stop saying "We're in Miami Bitc%!" I'm pretty sure you all know the song.... Well anyways, I forgot we had actually landed at the Fort Lauderdale airport. After a quick Uber drive to Miami...I resumed being on repeat (for the entire week actually) to let everyone know "We're in Miami Bit$%!"

Honestly I never really thought I would be going to Miami, but with a Southwest airline voucher that took us there for about 3000 pennies, why the hek not?
Little Havana (Cuba) is a diverse neighborhood with a great international vibe. Many Cubans now call Miami home and this neighborhood is one of the many places they have made their own. Stroll the streets and you'll actually start to think you're in Cuba. There are more than enough Cuban Cigar shops and you can actually watch them make handmade cigars. Pretty darn neat.

We of course loved the Cuban food (it was a lot of rice and beans!) and the Cuban coffee as well. They were tiny but mighty....

Everyday, the elderly Cuban men go to Domino Park -which is a park specifically made for them where they can play dominoes, drink coffee, and talk politics. This is definitely the place to be. And not gonna lie...if I lived in Miami this would be my hangout. I would learn to play dominoes and dominate them all!

Our other favorite area was Wynwood-which is known for the Wynwood Walls. It's a neighborhood that is famous across the world for it's street art and reinvention of an old warehouse area. There are blocks and blocks of colorful street murals on every building throughout the entire neighborhood. It's definitely a funky, hipster kind of a place with a really good brewery too! In 2014, it was ranked by Vogue magazine as one of the top 15 coolest neighborhoods in the world. It didn't disappoint.

Our other time consisted of morning runs, happy hours, and of course laying out at the pool. The best day was when it seemed as though the birds weren't feeling too well and had a little accident all over Core's sandals, chair, and even on her (gross!) I guess I lucked out because the bird that decided to get sick and aim for me literally just missed me. Thank goodness I for some reason moved.....because if I hadn't, one
second later and I swear some disgusting stuff would have landed on my face.
