M.I.A. in MIA

MIA-in-Miami-beach-lifeguard-station

Hello! I’ve been M.I.A. the past week spending some quality time with my daughter in Miami. I’m here for work and decided to make a summer out of it with my little girl — she gets to go to summer camp and learn how to swim while I get to work with an ocean view. Miami Beach reminds me so much of Honolulu — the humidity with the intermittent rains, the tropical plants and fruits, the warm crystal blue water, the newer highrises next to the older lowrises, and being beachside + canal side. I absolutely love it here! A few snapshots…

One of the things I’ve really loved is getting to eat tropical fruit again…can’t get enough

An amazing experience thus far and I feel so fortunate that I am able to do this with her! An unforgettable summer.
