We went to Miami and on a cruise January 15th through January 23rd. We had so much fun there. Flying out was an adventure, we were stuck at the Bismarck Airport for 5 hours before we could fly out. When we left Garrison, it was -46 out. Well the fog rolled in and the plane couldn't get deiced until it got to -32 below. So we were at the airport for that long. We ended up staying in Minneapolis for the night since we missed our connecting flight. We were there with 3 other couples. The next morning we all headed back to the airport at 4:30am to get on our next flight. Mark and I flew to Memphis TN. Then from there to Miami. Both were really good flights. When we got to the Miami Airport my luggage was lost for a few hours, thankfully we got it back by later that night. The weather was about 70 degrees when we got there, so it felt warm.
Our view from the hotel room. It was cloudy out, and kind of windy. But we were happy to be in warmer weather so it didn't matter.
This is looking from the pool towards the two hotel towers. It was really pretty.
The beach. It was breezy out. We didn't walk in the ocean until the next day.
We went shopping about 2 blocks from out hotel down a road called Lincoln Rd. It was all shopping and eating. After about a block of walking the road is closed and the middle of the road is for eating and sitting. It was so very nice out this day, we didn't buy a lot of stuff, some sweatshirts and some luggage, since the airline wrecked our other one. It was a lot of fun just spending extra time with Mark
On the right side of the pic is seating for eating, and on the other side is the shops. They were high end shops, we were looking for sunglasses for me and the cheapest ones were 90-100 dollars. I wasn't going to buy them, because almost always, they end up in my kids hands and get broken.
It was crowed there. All the locals had winter coats on, and all the tourists had shorts on.
One of the new shirts Mark got. He was so proud.
We wrote the kids names in the sand. 
Writing Josh and Jakes name was easy, we wrote it and took pictures easily. Mark sent them out in an email to my sister who was watching them.
It took us about 6 tries to get Alyssah's done. I was so frustrated with it. Everytime I would right it, a wave came and destroyed it. But I finally got it. And it was way worth it too!!
The view of our hotel from the beach. We were in the little tower on the 6th floor. They had an Emril's restaruant in it. It was so good too!!
This is our hotel from the front, I got this from Loews hotel website.
We went with a couple of other couples to go out to eat on OceanView Drive. It was about a mile walk to there, and I wore the worst walking shoes. But the food was very good. It cost us about 150 per couple to eat there, but it was worth it.
They had a street fair going on while we were there. Nothing to great though. There were a lot of hotels on this strip.
This is what it looks like at night. I got this picture online, so this isn't mine, but it is what it looks like. The hotels were all lit up in neon.
