Miami Day 3

On day 3 we had a free day.  We knew we weren't going to do much.  We slept in for a little bit and woke up and grabbed breakfast before it was done.

Our 3 day view :)

Down at breakfast, I took this pic before we left to go get ready for the day.  It turned out good!

I LOVE this view, I could get used to it!

We went down Lincoln Rd, there are a lot of shops there, and LOTS of places to eat too.  We picked a restaurant that we had eaten at before.  It was really good too!

Our yummy food!

Then we walked back to the hotel and we bought a few gifts for the kids, then we went on the beach for a few hours.  It was great to relax and not do anything!

Mark was still recovering some from having the flu, so it was good he could relax and not do much.  He even slept some too!  

I love the beach!

That night we wanted sea food, so we went to this restaurant to eat, and it was VERY good!  This was South Miami beach walk and there are tons of places to eat here!

When we were done we walked back to the hotel, it was a nice walk too!

The next day we were up and out the hotel by 7am!  We had a 9am flight to catch.  It was a nice flight home, and it was good to be home with the kids again!

Miami Day 2

Day 2 in Miami, Mark had meetings and I tried to sleep in, but I was too excited to sleep!  I couldn't wait for the day!

The sunrise!  I love it!

I sat by the pool with a friend while Mark was in the meetings.  It was BEAUTIFUL out!

Mark and I got massages while we were there, it was great!  We then got ready for the banquet.  It wasn't anything great, but it was fun to hang out with friends.

There was a band there, 32 Below, they are great to listen too!

Miami Day 1

We got to go to Miami for a few days with Winfield!  It was fun!  I am thankful for the trips Mark gets through his work!

Good-bye cold...

Hello warm!

This is what we saw when we walked off the bus to our hotel.  We have been here before, but it is a cool spot to see!

Our ocean view!  I love it!

We walked on the beach some before the supper, it was really nice out!

Playing Catch Up

I have a few post I am going to do today.  I hope to get much of it done today! :) I have missed my blog!

New Years Eve 2012

New Years Eve was spent just us hanging out together.  We watched a movie in our movie room and then watched the ball drop in NYC.  The kids all had fun!
