Miami Trip

Since returning from London I've been leaning into my self-care routine and savoring my down time. I've also been taking the time to explore and shake up my usual routine. One of my favorite days of the summer was taking the Brightline to Miami - not only did I get to spend a fun day with a good friend, but I checked off some of my 101 in 1001 list! 

I first have to say, my Brightline trip could not have been easier. It's so easy to book a ticket and the train is so easy! Maybe it's just that I'm still used to the LIRR, but this train is so clean and organized. It makes a day trip so much easier. (And no, this is not sponsored - none of my posts are! - in case anyone is wondering.)

My friend graciously planned the day out for us and started with booking us a lunch at Mandolin Agean Bistro, which was delicious! I'm an avid fan of Greek food and trying new restaurants, so this was a major highlight for me. The restaurant itself was chic and was in a chic area, although we went on a Sunday so the surrounding stores were mostly closed. If you're in the area and craving Greek I totally recommend! 

After lunch we zipped over to the Perez Art Museum Miami, which was an experience! I love going to museums and the PAMM museum is in a beautiful spot, right on the water. The works of are also didn't disappoint - I saw a fabulous Frank Stella painting and even experienced a Yayoi Kusama exhibit first hand! There is a restaurant attached and if we had planned it out a bit more, I would have loved to have had a glass of wine outside, overlooking the water. Just something to think about if you're going yourself. 

We ended the trip on a high note - walking around Wynwood! I loved looking at all of the graffiti and street art. It was so colorful and fun. I actually wish we spent more time here, but I'll save it for the next trip.
