You've heard the old adage - the best things in life are free. Well, guess what, it's true! Now that that the holidays are over, it's the perfect time to give our charge cards a break and rediscover the reason we live in the Magic City. We found some unique, wallet-friendly sites in the Miami North area for you to enjoy. So, while the weather is still cool, we hope you'll take the time to marvel at the Art Deco architecture on South Beach, check out the graffiti art at the Wynwood Walls, relax in the tranquility of the Ichimura Japanese Garden on Watson Island, pay tribute at the Holocaust Memorial, salsa dance under the stars on Calle Ocho or take in some fresh air at Oleta River State Park. Go on and enjoy Miami like a tourist and experience why your friends and family want to visit so often! Happy JABBING! -Team JAB
