Saturday started off fairly uneventful. Went around to a couple of garage sales, didn't see anything good. We then went to my Mom's where we hung out for a bit. It was getting pretty late into the afternoon and I was getting hungry. My mom suggested we go out for lunch. Great! I love eating out!
So, I get the kids buckled in the van and hubby and mom jump in. As I begin pulling out of the driveway, the dreaded restaurant choosing conversation begins. It goes a little something like this;
"So where do you want to go eat?"
"Not sure. What are you in the mood for?"
"Doesn't matter to me. What about you?"
"I can't think right now, too hungry. You decide!"
And so it usually continues that way until we decide to pull into the first place we pass because we are just starving now.
Well, this time it was different. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but the decision was made to go....
to Miami!
So off we drove. We got there just in time for a late dinner. We ate at "Bubba Gump's"; A seafood restaurant made after the "Forrest Gump" movie.
We took along "Bayside" where there are any shops to look at. There was this awesome Banyan tree there that is 100 years old. It is so beautiful - it's a shame that people have written on it and thrown garbage into the trunk. Still a beautiful tree.
We got a room at a Hilton across the street and crashed for the night, well after checking out the views and the soft pillows first!
The next morning we went to the beach. The weather was gorgeous, even if it wasn't truly "beach weather". The sky was blue and the sun was shining bright.
The water was cold, but hubby and Gigi didn't seem to mind. They played in it together a little, until Gigi finally was too cold.
So then we just walked along the shore picking up seashells and inspecting the many, poor dead jellyfish along the way.
We got home Sunday night and went straight to bed.
An unexpected but good weekend!
