NZ Heather Comes to Visit April 2016: Key Biscayne

Heather's Itinerary of Fun Birthday Celebration Day two!
The next day, Dallas took Dax so us girls could catch up.  Don't get me wrong, my little guy is SUPER easy and such a joy to have around, but it is hard for me to focus sometimes because I can't turn off the mommy mode.  So it's nice to spend quality time with friends checked out from mommy mode every so often.

For our day together, I thought it would be fun to show Heather one of the islands off of Miami, called Key Biscayne.  It has some of the most gorgeous views of the city looking back and some incredible beaches and places to explore.  We brought our swimsuits for when we found a place we wanted to set up camp, but first we wanted to walk around and get a feel for the lay of the land.  It was so much fun to explore an area I wasn't very familiar with.  We loved looking at all the unique wildlife and vegetation. 

We walked along several different trails and were excited to read that manatees loved eating the surrounding sea grass.

Such beautiful boardwalks!

When we got to the beach, we were welcomed by the most gorgeous colors.  My heart will forever be in love with the colors of south florida waters.  

We immediately took off our shoes and began to explore up and down the coast lines.  We loved the gorgeous views of the city and lighthouse along the shoreline.

So much beauty!

We walked down to the lighthouse and explored the rocky shoreline around the sea wall.  We saw lots of fun fish and watched a fisherman and his daughter for awhile.  We then decided we were too hot and trekked back to our car to change.

After changing, we brought our beach gear and relaxed along the water's edge for another couple hours.  It was so nice to spend the entire day catching up and laughing...always lots of laughing!

After spending the day exploring Key Biscayne, we found a super cute little restaurant on the island for dinner.  We ate yummy pizza and finished off with frozen yogurt.
It was the perfect day!
