My first trip to Miami was to celebrate one of my best friends having a baby. Amber and her husband Nick toured me around to the places they went when they were growing up in Miami. First we went to Wynwood, which they told me is completely different from how it used to be years ago. The food and murals were incredible.

The next day, we woke up early for sunrise at South Beach. We swam and walked along the ocean front path before it got too hot outside. We saw a cute black cat hiding in the leaves on our way back.

After the beach, we walked along Ocean Road to see the old buildings. We stopped at a cuban restaurant for tostadas and coffee. The palm trees and colorful buildings were beautiful.

After our walk, we drove down to Key Biscayne, then back up and through Coral Gables. The huge trees amazed me each time I saw one. So we pulled over a few times so I could take photos. After our day of exploring, Amber took me to get empanadas, maltin and a chicha drink before we went shopping to get food for the baby shower.

Finally, the baby shower! It was perfect. I had to take some photos of Amber outside in her yellow dress matching the scenery so well. I can’t wait to go back to meet her baby and see more of Miami <3
