A few months ago, we visited Miami, and we checked out the Cuban district and the arts district. While I expected more from the so-called Cuban district, it was still fun to see some parts of Miami that are not the beach. I still prefer the arts district in Los Angeles because the graffiti looks better (sorry, but not sorry) and the restaurants located in LA’s art district. If you decide to visit either the Cuban district or the arts district, consider getting dropped off and picked up. The parking situation is ridiculous. Most of the time, you are stuck in one-way streets and meter parking.
Our Florida vacation is over and we are back in LA. I miss laying on the beach all-day and tan. Instead of swimming in turquoise water, I spent most of my day in my office in front of the computer. But I still want to share with you what we did on our last day in the keys...
On our last day in the keys were debating on what we should be doing. First, we eat breakfast in the hotel, and similar to the hotel in Miami, there are many restrictions during the pandemic. So the breakfast was not the greatest.
Beach days are my favorite! I love the smell of the salty ocean water and walking on white sandy beaches.
After we returned from Dry Tortugas Island - I wrote about it in my previous post. We caught a cute little area with an abundance of palm trees, this offered the perfect opportunity to take pictures.
Here are my top five bathing suite shots so your Instagram feed will look lit!
We woke up early because we planned to visit Dry Tortugas. Visiting Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the must-do items when visiting Florida. The beaches are gorgeous, and the water is turquoise blue - it is well worth the visit.
One thing was clear to me when visiting Miami, we have to go to the keys for a few days. We decided to spent a few days in Key West. The drive takes about 3 ½ hours from Miami. The drive was beautiful since you pass a lot of bridges and drive through the keys. During the drive you get rewarded with views of the turquoise ocean and lots of iguanas.
We just got back from Florida and since we did so much I am going to separate my blog post into segments each featuring a different topic.
Traveling during a pandemic is definitely different. I thought wearing a mask on a five-hour flight would have been tough but it wasn’t so bad after all. My bag was filled with hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes which came in handy when we jumped on the plane and in the rental car.
This is my last post of our day trip to Mojave Desert Preserve. We wanted to see the joshua trees but also catch the sunset at the Kelso Dunes.
The Kelso dunes, also known as the Kelso Dune Field, is the largest sand deposit field in the Mojave Desert. They are about 650 feet tall. The kelso dunes are a bit over a 30-minute drive from joshua trees which are near the entrance of the park. So once again it was a run against time. Our idea was to climb the kelso dunes to enjoy the sunset.
Part three of our road trip in one day is the Mojave Desert Preserve. This is a hidden gem located about 3 1/2 hour drive from Los Angeles. The entrance is free and you can spend an entire day in this park, hiking, photographing nature, or catching the sunset.
This is part two of our road trip stops. A few days ago I started the road trip series with our trip to the Fossil Falls. You might be interested in reading more about the Fossil Falls.
I’ve been working from home since April and since then we only went to the beach, tennis court, or the occasional grocery store visit. So when our office was closed the past Monday, we decided to do a one-day road trip to places we haven’t seen before in Southern California. Let me tell you this coming from someone who has seen pretty much everything here in SoCal. In this three-blog post series, I’ll share with you my three underrated day trips you can visit in Southern California. Let’s start with our first stop the Fossil Falls.
