It's been a long time since Nic and I had a vacation. A long, LONG time. We decided that it was time to leave Kaden (for the very first time) and set out on a beach trip. It took us a little while to decide where to go. We are beach people without passports, on a budget. After much research, we found South Beach and booked our trip.
What a crazy place!! I've never been to NY but it reminded me of a tropical version of the city... Lots of crazy people screaming at themselves, taxis everywhere, everything is in walking distance and a lot of things I haven't seen since college :) We probably walked an average of 4 miles a day!! But we spent a good amount of time in the ocean, sleeping on the beach and napping too!
A view from the back of our hotel. Just past the pool was a gate which led right out onto the beach
Hotels line the beach for miles. We stayed on Collins (A1A) and spent a lot of time walking down Ocean Drive. So cool!!! Art deco hotels everywhere- it felt like we were in the 40s!
The Versace Mansion
You can't go to Miami without getting a cigar... and yes... we were sitting in front of Starbucks.
We found Dash- very exciting! We were on our Go Car tour, so we didn't go inside. Wonder if Khloe or Kourtney were there??
We went to the Holocaust Memorial. It was beautiful. This is a sculpture you could see from the street. It's a hand and up the wrist are people. Going to the memorial was really moving for both of us. "...Then in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." - Anne Frank
Our Go Car. This was our favorite thing we did while we were there. It's a GPS guided tour which sits like a car but rides like a scooter. The accelerator, brakes, etc were on the handlebars. It was a 3 hour tour with lots to learn about the area. We even took it across the bay to Miami!! Not on the highway...
Hanging out on the beach our first day
And our last day
We were sad our vacation came to an end, but were SO excited to come home to see our boo boo bear. We did "see" him every day via webcam... but that's just not the same!!
