Wow I missed Miami. I hadn’t been since college, and I have to say this current trip kind of woke me up from (what seemed like) a winter coma. I was itching to get down to the 305 for some sun, sand and great eats. With just a long weekend to work with, I feel like my boyfriend and I managed to squeeze in a ton.
