Bayside Market, Miami

We had some time between checkout time at our hotel (Madarin Oriental on Brickell Key, can't repeat enough how much I recommend that hotel) and our flight.  We drove around Miami, went past the Bayside Market and decided to kill some time there.  http://www.baysidemarketplace.com/  There's also a beautiful outdoor walkway with a lovely view of the Bay.
 
It is your typical big city mall with many of the shops you would find at any mall in a major city (i.e., Bath & Body Works, Claire's, Disney Store, Perfumania, you get the idea.)  There are also many Miami-themed shops.
 
We had a frozen adult beverage at Sharkey's.  You can sit in the bar or in the mall area.  The mall seating area has a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay.  The frozen drinks come in a souvenir plastic cup.
 
Before heading to the airport, we stopped for lunch at Bubba Gump's.  http://www.bubbagump.com/ This is a chain restaurant found in many cities, but we had never visited Bubba Gump's, even though we have a location in Chicago.  We got a seafood sampler.  It was so tasty and the seafood was very fresh.  It came with several dipping sauces.  It was the perfect light meal before traveling home.
 
A local mall is a good place to kill time when traveling and I definitely recommend this one. :)
