Miami!

Hello and happy Fat Tuesday! I hope you enjoy your King's cakes and breakfasts for dinner tonight! I'm going out to a French Brasserie with coworkers tonight, but I'm determined to order eggs so that I can continue the breakfast for dinner Mardi Gras tradition. It was always either French toast or pancakes and I can clearly remember my category 3 hurricanes swim practice and how I would rush out of the pool and shower extra quickly so that I could head home to breakfast for dinner ASAP. Yummers! Anyhoo, I wish I were home to celebrate the occasion with my family. We'd always have a King's cake and we'd hide a baby inside and whoever got the piece of cake containing the baby would have good luck for the rest of the year. Let me tell you, I could most certainly use some luck, but I'll have to live vicariously through all of your king cake baby-winning pieces. Will you let me? Please?

So, back to the intended purpose of this post! I was in Miami this past weekend for a conference! I flew in a day early to have a whole day to hang out with my cousin who recently moved to Miami for work! She picked me up from the airport and we had a blast exploring south beach, the University of Miami, coconut grove, miracle mile, and the bay of biscayne. It was so much fun! The meeting started bright and early on Sunday, but the breaks allowed us to walk and sunbathe in the eighty degree heat! It was fantastic! The meeting room overlooked the bay of biscayne and we could see all the people jet skiing and boating and sailing. It was incredible. My coworkers and I enjoyed dinner in south beach on a water-front porch. We sipped mango mojitos the size of my head and feasted on delicious seafood. It was perfect! I caught the end of the Grammys on Sunday night and headed home yesterday afternoon after sunbathing on the pool deck. It was the most perfect mid-winter trip!! I came back with a little color, a lot more vitamin d, and a brand new pink Bobbi Brown blush that was a gift from my cousin :-). Here are some pictures from my trip. Enjoy! :-) xoxo
