Southeast USA Road Trip - Day 10: Miami, FL

Today we made an airboat safari tour in Everglade State Park. We first went into the vast open saw grass where we saw why the Everglades were called the “River of Grass”! We traveled by Airboat through a Hardwood Hammock (a small island of solid ground in the “river of grass”), into the Everglades National Park stopping at alligator holes and seeing the abundance of ‘glades wildlife. If you are lucky, you can see the Purple Gallanule voted the most colorful bird in Florida and the endangered Everglade Snail Kite as well as herons, grackles, turtles, raccoons and other Everglades residents. The Everglades were truly unique and vibrant environment.

After the safari we went to the Amelia Earhart Park to make a picnic and watched water sports. And finally, we visit Little Havana at the evening to see the Cuban life.

North Carolina Zoo

Zoos are the most exciting places for children. Therefore, we went to the North Carolina Zoo on December 15. Although, it was a bit cold, Elif and all of us spent amazing time there Logistic It took almost 1 hour and 15 minutes from Chapel Hill to the Zoo by car. It was a all day event. Thereby, we went there on the morning and left nearly 4 pm. To visit entire places, we needed to walk 10,000 feet. Remember, it is the  World's largest natural habitat zoo. Thus, you need to walk a lot and need all day. About the Zoo According to the Zoo, there were  1,800 animals and 52,000 plants throughout our 500-acre conservation park. There were two main places in the Zoo. One of them is Africa and the other one is North America. You can walk from Africa’s grasslands to North America’s Arctic coast.

Southeast USA Road Trip - Day 13: Miami and Jacksonville, FL

Our last day in Miami, we visited the North Beach that was less crowded than the South Beach. While we were going to the North Beach, we saw the luxury residents and neighborhoods of the island which was amused us. Luckily, it was sunny and the ocean was not wavy. Therefore, we could swim for hours. Additionally, Elif found a friend and played with her in sands and water. After swimming on North Beach, we began to our trip to turn back home. Because it was a long trip from Miami to Chapel Hill, we decided stay one night in Jacksonville. Thanks to the rewards of Hotels.com (1 night reward for 10 nights booking) we booked our hotel in Jacksonville in an affordable price.   1. Activities North Beach (Miami North Beach) 2.
