miami weekend

If I thought about my vacation time wisely this summer, I would say today would be the last day in office until  July 8th, but I didn't think that far ahead...next week is such a slack week so for those of you smarties (or those of you with the brilliant companies who are closed next week...) Happy Friday!!! Happy Weekend!!! 

Friday

Happy Hour with a View- Get off of work, and go sit outside and get your drinks on! 

Viernes Culturales- The link isn't updated with today's date...but this event occurs the last Friday of each month in Little Havana. Explore the art, food and culture of Little Havana! Get lost in the side streets and check out the cute Old Florida style houses (though some really could use some renovation work)

Critical Mass Miami- Ride with 2,000+ plus Miamians through the streets of Miami. Today's route will go through Downtown Miami, Edgewater, MiMo, North Bay Village, Miami Beach, Venetian Causeway and back to Downtown Miami. This is not a race!! Enjoy the ride, and take in all the lovely views and new spots along the way.

Hot Nights Cool Jazz at Bass Museum- Jazzy Fridays at one of the nicest museums in Miami Beach.

Saturday

Downtown Miami Block Party- In case you've never really explored Downtown (fear instilled in us locals from when we were younger?)..this block party is your perfect chance to see how Downtown is changing and evolving into an urban lifestyle. I love biking around the old buildings (court house, churches, Olympia theatre) and taking in the beautiful architecture and history we take for granted. 

1st Annual Waterloo Balloon Fight at Tobacco Road- Love this idea, love this place. Family friendly and FREE!! Play outside and stay cool in the hot summer sun!! 

Sunday

My favorite way to enjoy Sunday is to walk around Pinecrest Gardens Green Market and maybe take a walk at Fairchild Garden. I am also not opposed to a boat day should the weather cooperate!

Other things you can do:

-Eat lunch/dinner at Charles St. on Miami Beach

-Do something in Miami you've never done before, via MIAMI MUSTS!

All that is needed is a run with the bulls and this Tomatina Festival would compete with Pamplona's Running with the Bulls. Make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind never seeing again, bring goggles, and leave your change of clothes in the car. Amazing stress reliever..and free ketchup?
