Way back I thought it would be cool to just hop on a plane and go to a new city for a weekend, check it out, and fly back. That was back before I had a family. But that's pretty much what we did this past weeked. Went down to Miami for the weekend, finally cashing in a Blaine Gala auction win. Accommodations were great, food was pretty good all weekend, lots of walking, lots of swimming, and had 1 great day of weather. Of course to balance it out something had to go wrong, and that was the 6 hour delayed flight home. At least we knew about the first 3 hour delay before we got to the airport, so the kids got to spend even more time in the pools. But yeah, that was rough on the way back. Stupid United. Some highlights. The tapas at Tala Beach Restaurant was pretty tasty. The carpaccio at That's Amore. The rolled ice cream at Miami n'Ice. The breakfast at Cafe Americano. The truffle fries at The Sandbox Poolside Restaurant. Getting some laps in and feeling pretty good about it. Would love to get to do this more often. Just pick a weekend to get away, swim in hotel pools, and eat good food. Maybe San Diego sometime? I liked that place. Maybe when Lucy starts looking at colleges?
