Bike Rides
There are few activities as family-friendly as bike rides. They’re a crucial part of childhood summers and they’re a great way to keep everyone out and active.

Miami Beaches
Of course, since you’re come to Miami to enjoy the beautiful weather, why not take advantage of the late summer temperatures to sunbathe and enjoy the beaches?
