Welcome to Miami!

Hear that song??? I think I heard it like 4 million times while we were there......

Great mini vacation to South Beach.....just the old man and I. Kaelan happily stayed home and devoured her Aunt Sara. The minute we returned home, she told us we could go ahead and leave for another vacation.....I guess it would be worse if she cried for us....right?

There were plenty of frozen drinks for Sandra.....and Diet Coke for Doug. We had a fabulous time on our GoCar tour. Basically, you head off down Ocean Dr. (and wherever else you want to go), in a little go-cart/moped type thing. There is a GPS built into the car, so you are guided the whole way. You can stop wherever you please and never get lost.....we looked so friggin' cool next to all the Lamborghini's and Porsche's in South Beach....fierce!

Doug's crew got the big prize.....later, we celebrated and drank Sprite out of it. :)



One evening, we had dinner at the most gorgeous turn of the century mansions. This place was fully restored and amazing......we are considering a purchase for a summer home....ha. I can't even fathom the price....it was valued at 22 million in 1914!

Doug gets in touch with nature in the garden.


Sandra soaks in the healing fountains.
How could you strut up those stairs and not due the Paris Hilton pose?

Doug....never to be outdone.

We had a great time....we came home ready for another vacation. Doug jumped right back on a plane and headed to Chicago and as soon as he returns, we are off to Phoenix for the bro's wedding.....ah.....I need one of those fruity drinks.
