GOOD MORNING WORLD!
I’m fresh off a great nights sleep here in my Pool House Villa here at the Anglers Resort in South Beach.
This morning I had one of those moments where something triggers you to remind yourself of how fortunate you are to be living the life that you’re living.
As I pushed the covers off of me and stepped out of bed I realized that I was not only living it up in a beautiful 3-floor villa in South Beach but that this was only the beginning of a 10-day road trip across Southern Florida that would take me to 5 cities, 5 luxurious resorts and and an assortment of whacked out activities in between.
I’m a lucky man…
Yes, that’s right folks. I’m living the dream and I acknowledge it. As we all know, It’s not always easy to acknowledge the good things that we encounter in our everyday lives as we always seem to focus on more of the negative things that surround us. The point is to make a change and start focusing on the more positive things that are going on in your world. There are a lot of them, you just don’t choose to bring them to the forefront.
MIAMI STREET ART TOUR
Today, we’ll be visiting the street art capital of Miami also known as Wynwood. Oh, and did I mention that we’ll be making yet another visit to RED, the Steakhouse, aka my favorite steakhouse in the world? Let’s go!
So our plans to tour the Wynwood Arts District in Miami by Vespa scooter with RoamThere were pretty much foiled as soon as we stepped outside. Go figure, it’s raining in Miami!
We made our way over to News Cafe on Ocean drive and burnt some time over breakfast hoping that the rain would pass but by the time we finished up there were no signs of it stopping anytime soon. We decided that our next best option was to jump in two separate cars and head to Wynwood. There was no way I was missing out on this tour, that’s for sure.
The Street Art Tour through the Wynwood Arts District was incredible to say the least. As a huge fan of street art, I felt as if I could have spent a week shooting photos of all of the art displayed in Wynwood. I’m actually going to try to rent a car and spend the day cruising around Wynwood the next time I’m in Miami.

LUNCH AT MORGANS
After a hot and sweaty day touring around Wynwood, we stopped into Morgans for lunch where we chowed down on massive cheese plates, beef sliders, triple decker sandwiches, chicken and waffles and more!
Once we filled our bellies, it was time to head on back to the Anglers Resort for a little down time before our big dinner at Red, the Steakhouse a little later on in the evening.
DINNER AT RED
Those of you who read this blog often will probably recognize Red from a review that I wrote back in July. I was so impressed with our dining experience at Red back in July that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this food again just a few weeks later. Who would have thought I would be lucky enough to dine at Red twice in the span of a month?
After a short rest back at the hotel, the #StreaminFL crew got dressed to the nines and hit one of the best steakhouses in South Beach.
We meet again!
Executive Chef, Peter Vauthy, had even more tricks up his sleeve this time around. Knowing that this was a big ol’ group of media folks, Peter and his team really put on a show for us.
Take a look at some of the delicious food that we got the opportunity to try during our visit to Red.
Joshua and Bridget sure seem to be enjoying themselves over there on the other side of the table!
Needless to say, I had yet another amazing dining experience at Red. Every time I leave Red, I wonder how I continue to maintain my weight and shape after assaulting my food like a savage beast.
Tomorrow we will be leaving the good ol’ Anglers Resort here in South Beach and we’ll be making our way across the state to the Marco Island Marriott. Stay tuned for more!
