Miami Beach

It was time for my mom and I's annual January beach trip. This year we went to Miami Beach. The weather could not have been more perfect, especially since schools were delayed and closed back home because of cold and snow. Of course, this is WHY we go on a warm trip every year around this time. I could not do this if it weren't for my dad, aunt, sister, Joe and Rick at home taking care of the kids, thanks a bunch! I guess this means it takes 5 people to replace me when I'm gone.

I didn't take many photos on this trip. Just a few around the condo we stayed at and our beautiful sunrises every morning from our third floor balcony.

One thing about our condo, it was beautiful. But it was for the oldies. My mom and I were the youngest there by far. Didn't bother me one bit, though. Some things I over heard from the other guests...

"Oh, how do you like your oxygen tank? Does it have a plug in for the car lighter, that's just a must!"
"I had that same procedure last year. I'm still recovering but you will start to feel better in about a month."

So these shirts were funny. They had activities throughout the day at the condo for the oldies. It was raining one morning so mom and I thought it would be fun to make shirts for the kids. I need to post an after picture because the blue, red and yellow one is now pink and baby blue and the purple and white one is now just pink and light purple all over. The kids still like them but clearly we were supposed to somehow set the dye before we washed them. Oh well.

Mom and I had a great time but if I keep coming back sick with the plaque every time I go to the beach, it's going to start to make me have second thoughts about going. I'm willing to give it a few more tries though before I stop going. Maybe I should stop licking all the handrails at the airport...
