not trying to be serious. But I think it would be easier on you if you took the week off and just drove home around

Thanks for the information. We will drive around Key Buscayne area. Trying to avoid expensive gardens. Can you please suggest some options to spend on new year eve like fireworks/kids/family hang out place (preferably close to Brickell area).

I saw some the other year at Bayfront Park (Bayfront Park, 301 N. Biscayne Blvd., Miami, FL 33132) but it was packed to the gills. You might check there or....
The block party is free for all to attend, plus you’ll find street vendors and performers to keep you fed and entertained until the clock strikes midnight. At Ocean Dr and Ninth St.

That I do not know. I always use the toll by plate when I rent a car and keep my sunpasss' in our own cars.

We have visited most of the places as planned based on the suggestions here. Wynwood walls , Frost Museum, Key west, Everglades on hwy 41 and 9336, key biscayne, South beach, north beach, south point park and new year eve / fireworks near 10th street.
Key west trip took too long to reach key west. Didn't get time to do much there.
Shark valley was too busy. We biked along the trail instead of tram. But didn't go all the way to observatory tower.
We took air boat ride in Allegator form (Paul did lot of 360 turns). Visited Robert fruit stand. Drove all the way to the end. Visited Anhinga and other trail on the way.
We went to beach/park near cape Florida lighthouse. We went to the top of lighthouse.
Spend full day near south Miami beach.
We skipped Vizcaya museum. Miami beach botanic garden was closed early.
Riding Metromover was a big fun for kids. Hotel was nice. Kids enjoyed free breakfast.
