Every once in a while, it is good to sit back and look at all the things in life to be grateful for. I am lucky and blessed to have a career that allows me to indulge my love of exploration and travel, especially in my home state of Florida.
I love finding and experiencing all the great outdoor activities that South Florida has to offer. However, I must admit that during the summer months, I need to take a day or two off from sun and fun and seek some knowledge and culture. Preferably in a place with air conditioning. And some covering for the inevitable afternoon rains.
So this month, we are going to check out Bayside Marketplace and the newly renovated Frost Museum in Downtown Miami.
Located just 9 miles from both our Monte Carlo and Red Road Commons properties,
Bayfront Marketplace offers a plethora of food, fun and shopping opportunities. My friend Teal and I drove over, but if you don’t have a car or would just like to cruise on the water, you can take a water taxi from Miami Beach. From Red Road Commons, you would have to drive or take an Uber, but if you want your chance on the water, when you get to Bayfront Marketplace, you can take an 80 minute long cruise on a pirate boat! https://miamiaquatours.com/cruises/pirate-adventure/
We had a lot on our agenda, so we skipped the cruise and headed to the bar to fuel up for our day.
Our first stop was at Mojitobar
, where we got the signature drink that comes with a complimentary glass.
