Southeast USA Road Trip - Day 8: Tampa & Miami, FL

Today, we left Tampa and arrived to Miami. We visited Sawgrass Mills Outlet in North part of Miami which was on our way. We have never seen such a huge shopping center before. Sawgrass Mills Shopping Center contains hundreds of brands such as Versace, Prada, Boss, and Calvin Klein. We also visited Rainforest Cafe in the shopping center that was one of the famous theme cafes. We did not want to stay too long because the shopping mall was too crowded and it was too risky during the pandemic.

Our last stop was Wynwood Walls and Downtown Miami at night. Wynwood Walls were full of people. We liked the energy of the street and spent almost two hours on 2nd Avenue. Meanwhile, we realized that a great number of people seem that did not care about the pandemic in Miami.

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.

Some places were closed because of the pandemic and season U nfortunately, we could not visit some places because of the pandemic. For example, i ndoor habitats (Seabirds, Polar Bear Ice Cave ...

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.
