Florida-Everglades/Sun Life Stadium/Wings Over Miami Museum

Today is Day 24, we started out the day at the Wings over Miami Museum. The location of the museum was very interesting, it was at the airport. Therefore some of the aircraft we saw were outside. Another beautiful part of Miami we went to sight see was Key Biscayne. Key Biscayne is secluded, and seems very upscale. It is worth visiting. I didn't have enough time but next time I will not miss Key West! I regret I couldn't visit Key West because of our tight schedule. I heard the water is even more clear, and the scuba diving and snorkeling is unforgettable. The one way roads make it a long drive because the amount of visitors going there daily. Definitely needs to be planned ahead of time!

If you decide to visit Florida here are some other places I recommend: Coral Castle, Historical Museum of South Florida, Kennedy Space Center ( which is located near Orlando), Lion Country Safari, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Sea Aquarium, Daytona Beach, Lighthouse, Chocolate Factory, Haunts of the world's(the most famous beach ghost tours), and Tampa Bay!

We had reservations at the Everglades. This tour is unforgettable because of the terrain. The weather is very inconsistent and unpredictable. It rained on and off during our tour. The tour was about an hour. They use airboats that gives you the entire experience. People lived in the everglades for over 200 years with the gators. It is amazing how they lived because I could not imagine who would want to live with alligators. Especially since you can be their prey at any given second

Everglades is a MUST SEE!!! Don't go to Florida and skip the Everglades!!!

There are over 1.5 million alligators in Florida. It is very common to see an Alligator in your backyard as a resident.

Fun fact: I was told if you take a 9mm handgun and shoot a Alligator it will not harm it because of the thickness of its skin. You would need a shotgun to do damage!

Marlins were hosting the Colorado Rockies. It was an enjoyable game because I got to see Jiminez pitch for the Rockies.

Walking into Sun life Stadium made me realize why they are building a new stadium closer to downtown. It will be completed by 2012 and it will have a retroactive dome. (Good idea because of the rain!) Sun life Stadium is by far the worse stadium I have stepped foot in.

You can see their the year of their championship year on the bottom

I thought the attendance in Oakland A'S Stadium was bad, I was wrong. Oakland A's Stadium makes this stadium look empty. Their probably was no more than 4,000 people who attended the game. The picture I took was during the game,not pre-game.

As you can see the weather can change drastically in Florida. It rained on and off the entire game

Majority of seats are Orange and some are blue

Now I know when watching the Dolphins play why all the seats are Orange!
