Huge Flamingos and falling branches

We are back from a very nice mini vacation to Miami Beach, Florida. I had a conference to attend for work, so we decided to do it up by getting there early and leaving late.

There was a slight problem with the room we booked, so the hotel gave us an upgrade. We had a nice sitting area…

And a great view of the ocean!

We walked down the boardwalk…

and played on the beach.

Solomon and Delilah weren’t very excited about the ocean, but I couldn’t get enough of it!

We spent one day exploring.

In South Beach we found Espanola Way, which  is also called “Little Spain”. There were outdoor restaurants, street vendors and huge flamingos.

South Beach is known for having the largest number of art deco buildings. They were very beautiful.

We spent some time at the park. The weather was amazing.

It was all nice and wonderful until a HUGE palm branch fell just feet from where we were sitting. I’m used to leaves falling, but this thing could have caused a bruise.

The last full day of our trip was spent laying on the beach and playing in the pool. It was by far the best day.
