[quote=Anonymous]It will be hot and humid (same as DC IMO), but my family has had many wonderful August vacations in Miami.  We love beach and city too so we fell in love with this international city.  It has a magic to it. Daily afternoon downpours that last 5 minutes are so fun to be in when it's 95 degrees!
August is their off season for Americans, although there are many Europeans there at this time.
I find flights for $100-200 roundtrip to FT Lauderdale (40 min drive) every year on Spirit and SW etc. The restaurant week deals go for the whole month. Also there are many affordable air bnbs both in South Beach and downtown. They have revived their downtown in the last decade. 
If you rent a car you can take a drive or overnight to the keys, also. Since its a big city there are tons of resources for fun and low cost family activities. I like to take advantage of the offseason, but beware of tourist traps (restaurants) in South Beach AND consider travel insurance as it is hurricane season![/quote]
