You can always head towards downtown Miami and the Coconut Grove area. Talk about a huge ongoing building boom downtown. Brickell and Flagler look different from even just a few years ago. You can wander around the main street of Flagler Avenue. It's totally different from SoBe, a bit more of a dirty/big city feel, though that's quickly changing. Then head back in your car and take US 1 down towards Coconut Grove, which is a nice/classy neighborhood with some nice restaurants and shops. On your way thre you can stop at the Miami Seaquarium, and the museum of science. Oh, and Coral Gables is nearby as well - a town with a good amount of history, and the street signs are on the bottom written on brick stones, which makes it unique.
Hell, just driving around Dade County is fun. It doesnt look like your typical cookie-cutter county - it's very colorful and diverse. Little Havana on the one hand, and Coral Gables and Kendall on the other hand. You get a better understand of Miami and its people that way. Just remember to stay away from Liberty City 
This is also the best time of the year to be in Miami - the weather is perfect, no hurricanes to worry about, and not a lot of humidity like you see in the summer time.
Hope this helps.
