Home Sweet Home


Our new home! We finally moved from the Hammocks to the Dadeland area (South Miami/ Downtown Kendall). WHOOOO HOOOOO!
You can see our place in this photo. Look at the traffic light. At the top of the pole go up one window. That balcony is our next door neighbor. The window right next to it (going back away from the road) is one of our bedroom windows. And our place takes up the entire side of the building.
We live on the 10th floor. IT is so cool to look out the window and see the Grove and then look the other way and see a city skyline.
We love this place! We are walking distance to everything - Target, Best Buy, the Metro-fail, Dadeland Mall (Banana Republic), Restaurants (Chilis, Panera, etc.). We are a short metro ride from Sunset Place to a lot of other restaurants (Outback and Carrabbas), Whole Foods, and Barnes and Noble. There is a pool and cool gym on the 7th floor, a coffee bar (with free coffee and free wi-fi) in the building, and the most importantly a garage. So hopefully we will no longer have any car issues.
The Snapper Creek (as in the Snapper Creek Expressway or the 878) goes right outside our window. During our first inpromptu party (thanks to Chilis happy hour) Colleen, Lucy, Pancho, and Sommer (with Kevin and I) stood outside on our balcony and noticed there was a baby manatee swimming outside our window. How cool is that?
This is an amazing place. I don't think I never want to leave here!
