bienvenidos a miami




Ryan and I got to go to South Beach Miami last week. Ryan had a deposition down there so we figured we would stay three extra nights. We stayed in an awesome hotel called The Raleigh in the art deco district.

It was a fabulous trip of eating, sleeping, going to the beach and going to the pool. And that's about it!




This picture was taken the second day and as you can see Ryan's color didn't change much!

they had the Men's National Polo Championship game right on the beach




Girls don't get jealous of my white chubbalicious hubby!






We had breakfast at The Catalina (above picture) and Ry had steel cut oatmeal. It was so dang good. We also had breakfast by the pool at our hotel (pictures below) it was very posh. Ry had eggs benedict topped with smoked salmon and I had the delicious pancakes.





Lincoln Road is famous for shopping and dining. The road is blocked off for 3 or 4 blocks and so all of the restaurants have seating outside. Each night we would choose a different place to eat. We ate at Meat Market, Nexxt (twice), and Carnivale. It was fun sitting outside watching all the people pass by. We didn't realize how many people from all over come to South Beach. We heard people speaking french, german, italian and spanish.




It was a much needed vacation! We couldn't have done it without my mom and sister Kathryn for helping watch our kids. Thanks!

Ryan, you look more like your father than I ever noticed before. And in a good, worldly wise kinda way.

I'm trying to convince Rachel to hit Vegas the last week in May. If I succeed, we gotta hang out.
