Miami Beach

Hello Family!

We spent the first two days of our Bahamas trip in Miami, South Beach to be exact.  Joining us on this trip are two of Corinne's friends--Ali and Taylor.  We stayed in a quaint beach-front boutique hotel right on the south beach strip.  A few pics from our hotel balcony..

Gorgeous blue water and sunny day.

Janine and Brandon relaxed on the beach in front of our hotel while the girls went paddle-boarding.  They did not share pictures with us so here's what we have from the day.
 

 

That night, we went to dinner at Senor Frogs.  It is a fun and lively restaurant with a DJ, dancing waiters and fancy drinks.  The first Senor Frogs was in Cancun, Mexico. 
 
 
They also play tricks on the guests.  Below, you'll see how the girls (and Janine) were duped into getting water splashed into their faces! We thought we were playing a game where we were blowing/racing straws across a plate.  See what happens.

Listening to instructions on how to blow the straws on the plate.

Getting splashed!!!

Post splash.

Corinne's saying, "Now it's my dad's turn." 
Brandon did, in fact, get roped into a Tarzan yell competition.
  He won!!

Janine and Brandon spent the next day having breakfast on the Ocean Drive strip just a few doors down from several well-known spots: where Versace was gunned down on the front steps of his mansion; where the opening scene from Scarface was filmed; where the nightclub in the Birdcage was filmed; and where the restaurant scene from Something About Mary was filmed.  Then we toured South Beach and the bays on the Duck Boat followed by a Cuban tapas lunch.  A few scenes from the day.
 


 
See the little iron balcony in the upper right corner?  That's was used
for the opening scene in Scarface.  It's sandwiched in between two buildings.
This is the only picture we have from the girls' day.
 
 
 
Our final night in Miami we went to dinner at Joe's Stone Crab restaurant.  The crab was delicious!


Dressing up for dinner.

Yum!
