Trip to Florida - 1st Stop (Miami South Beach)

A month ago, Dave and I escaped to Florida without children for four days and three nights.  We had a wonderful time.   The main reason for the trip was to visit my brother Paul, but Dave and I had a great time just enjoying each other's company.  Sure I really missed my kids, but I also enjoyed the break from cutting food, stopping arguments, putting kids to bed, and the daily adventures with kids.

Our first stop was to fly into Fort Lauderdale and then drive to South Beach Miami.  As soon as we drove off in our rental car from the airport, there was a huge downpour of rain that lasted until we called it a night.  We had these great plans to walk along the beach together and then walk around the shops and restaurants.   Well, we ended up driving to a restaurant and then running into a hotel to avoid the rain.   We still had fun and enjoyed our dinner.

Here are pictures from our drive from the airport to the hotel.   


However, the next day ended up being much nicer and we were able to walk around a little bit before our drive to Key West.
  




Then we hopped into our tiny Fiat to start the drive to Key West.   Even though it was a small car, it was fun!
