Everglades national park and the Alligator farm are great places. Another good one is Biscayne National park. They have canoe and kayak rental and also a day snorkel trip. Also, the visitor center is a great place to get all kinds of info about the local ecosystem and there is an art exhibition currently running through November called ‘Biscayne: A Different Perspective.’ I know the artist personally; He’s my father :)

If you want more of a city vibe go to South Beach and check out the art deco district. Miami Spice, a city wide food festival, is going on through the end of September (I think) with prix fixe menu specials at participating restaurants. You can check it out at the miami spice website.

Key West is a fun town but there is much to see along the way on your drive, such as John Pennekamp State Park, Robbie’s Marina where you can hand feed giant Tarpon, Bahia Honda State Park, Pigeon Key. My favorite restaurant in KW is Seven Fish on Olivia and Elizabeth Streets.

Have fun!
