A visit from Mike!

On Friday Mike (Kevin's long time friend) came down to Miami for a visit. We had not seen Mike since our vacation in NC back in July 2007. We had such a great time hanging out with Mike this past weekend. I know both Kevin and Mike wish it could have been longer. Hopefully Mike will get the job and move to Florida. Then there will be more fun visits.

On Friday we went to Outback for dinner and then played a few games of pool at Gatsby's.

Saturday we headed to South Beach to show him the sights. We also stopped off for ice cream and beer!

Last night we celebrated with a old fashioned "Happy Hour" at Manny's where we tried out several new drinks. Mike will def have us making more crazy drinks if he moves down here.

Just only wish he could have stayed longer...

The Art Deco Festival

It's that time of year again and South Beach will never be the same! I had the pleasure of playing a Lost Tourist this year at the 2009 Art Deco Festival. This year my partners in crime were Josh and Faride. We had a blast walking up and down deco drive avoiding little dog droppings, running from idiots with Shis-ka-bob sticks, and dancing in Mangos! Here are some of my favorite photos of the Tourist from this weekend.

I have to have my FAN/ Face mask!


We even ran out to the beach and posed for a few photos....



This sign cracked us up... and all the people that saw us taking a photo with it!

On both days we danced outside Mangos and were asked by Staff to come in and dance with them. We didn't get up on the bar... (not sure if we could have made it up there)... but it was fun anyway.


Faride holding up the tree... lol....


We're on South Beach!


Getting that perfect photo for Deco! Always thinking about Marketing!

Inspirations

After going to a club in Brickle and being introduced to www.Ilovemiami365.com I have been inspired to blog a photo each day. For months I have thought about how much I would love to do this... And thanks to the iPhone it may actually become a reality.

Anniversary Brunch

Today we headed to the Hard Rock Casino for brunch at the Council Oak. We have been talking about going to their brunch for a while but we are so glad we waited for today. Brunch included unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Marys and a buffet that was limitless.
We first headed to the make your own omelette station. Then we ate and ate some more.
To quote Kevin "That brunch rocked!".
And to top off the experience was a harp player that played the Charlie Brown song and fields of gold.
It was the perfect start to our Anniversary.

Happy Birthday Griffin!

Today we celebrated Griffin's 2nd birthday. The party was in full swing with 8 kids, 10 adults, wii games, a bounce house, 3 hours of Eric and Gina dismissing their detox diet and buying pizza, and a mickey mouse cake Gina made that left all our mouths black.

We had a great time playing with the kids and bouncing in the bounce house.

Griffin is such a great kid. Always the quiet one... But quite the ham. I loved watching him play and run around after the other kids. I loved taking photos of him while Eric and Kevin bounced him in the air in the bounce house. His laughter still plays in my ears.

I always feel like Griffin shares a special place with us because he was born the day after our anniversary. He always reminds me of our next step and how I hope our kids are just as good as Griffin and Kai are. And I hope we can be as good of parents as Gina and Eric are.

Griffin... We hope you had a spectacular Birthday! Enjoy taking a bath with your new yo gabba gabba Viking boat and reading books with your hungry little caterpillar.

It is such a privelege to be included in Kai and Griffin's big days. And its so nice that The Nelson-Montet family has become a part of our extended family.
