ALLah 3la thak el mokan ! Fresh Air ..Open wide lands is indeed what I really need on each trip I take specially if its available at the destination Im heading too !!! while I was in Miami last March 2012 , I decided to surprise the family with a day trip to Homestead,FL as a change and to go on a short roadtrip to the countryside ! What about Homestead ? Homestead is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States nestled between Biscayne National Park to the east and Everglades National Park to the west. Homestead is major agricultural area. So once you are surrounded by green lands that means you reached the beautiful Homestead, FL .
من اجمل و احلى الاشياء و الانشطه الي المسافر يقدر يسويها اثناء رحلته اهيه تخصيص وقت للراحه و زياره اماكن طبيعيه … بما انه كنت بميامي شهر مارس الي طاف .. قررت اسوي رحله الى منطقه مزارع اسمها هوم ستيد تقريبا تبعد ساعه عن اوتيلنا في ميامي .. المنطقه هذي معروفه بالمزارع بجميع انواعها ..
” Fruit and spice Park” قبل روحتنا بيوم سويت بحث سريع بالانترنت و قررت وين بنروح بالضبط ..
و بعد ما وصلنا طلع انه المزارع كلها اتسكر الساعه 5 المغرب مع انه الشمس ريضه تغيب تالي فما لحقنا على وايد اشياء و منها الجوله مع قايد بالبارك و اعتقد انها اهم شي .. قلت دام انه وصلنا خل ناخذ الجوله بروحنا 
To decide where to go exactly to go ? I did some search one day before the roadtrip and I picked The Fruit and spice Park, the tropical fruit and vegtable society of the redland which is a nice countryside place to enjoy wide variety of plants. Unfortunately we arrived late after more than an hour drive from Miami Beach (Collins Avenue) because of the traffic.Once arrived, we rushed into the visitors center, paid the addmission fee and got our Map of the farmland to begin our tour ! for a while I thought we were alone ! but it turns that there were some people there too,people who are finishing their tour 😛 we had an hour before they close 🙁 it turned out that we missed all the guided tour ! and we had to tour the park around alone ! kaleenaha 😛
Next to the Enterance there was that sign for Redland Tropical Trail ! its on my list to visit next time inshallah when Im in Miami !! I think we should have visited that place instead of the Fruit and Spice Market ! why ? its was a very HOT DAY ! and we had to walk around the place as you’re going to see in the following photos ! beautiful landscape ! yes it was wortht the visit after all.. at least we reached Homestead !
الحديقه او المزرعه كانت وايد حلوه بس للاسف ما استمتعنا وايد .. الجو كان مووووت حر و الشمس ضاربه عدل و مثل ما قلت طافتنا الجولات الخاصه .. تمشينا فيها اشويه يمكن اقل من ربع ساعه و ما قدرنا نكمل ! ما اقدر اقول اني تحسفت اني زرتها و ما اعتقد اني بروح لها مره ثانيه الا اذا رحت مبجر و لحقت على الانشطه الخاصه فيها خصوصا الجوله مع قايد …. و هم في مزارع واايد غيرها و حلوه بمنطقه هوم ستيد ! ودي المره الياي اسكن فيها جم يوم بس عشان ازور اكثر من مزرعه 🙂 و من ضمنها Redland Tropical Trail 
the visitos center has a gift shop and there you can read about the story of the park
