It's Back! Miami Spa Month

July is Miami Spa Month! For a little over $100 (I know, still not THAT much of a bargain but it's better than the full price) you can visit some of the best spas in Miami and receive treatments like facials and different kinds of massages. Check out the link to participating spas: http://www.miamispamonth.com/participants.htm. I think I may be visiting the Biltmore for their spa package :)

The Biltmore

One of the best places to escape within Coral Gables without having to go too far is the Biltmore. You feel like you're on vacation and it's only minutes away from everything. The pool makes you wish you had your bathing suit and the food is fantastic. Definitely a great place to take visitors or to treat yourself for a nice peaceful lunch on the patio:

After the ruins we cruised around a little, hit up a yard sale and then headed over towards the Biltmore (my favorite hotel in Miami, hands-down, no questions asked.)

And for those of you who don't know, Miami is actually pretty religious. You can find all the churches here, from the Hare Krishna church in the grove, Scientologists in the Gables, and tons and tons of Catholic churches. El Hombre went to the Church of the Little Flower from the time he was young, and this is my first time being there. Its beautiful and it reminds me of the types of churches you see in Italy.
