We did many things... Most of which I forgot to take pics of. Whenever I'm having a really good time, I usually forget about cameras and pics. Anyone else?!
So the weekend didn't get off to a good start: We missed our flight. Hubs thought we could get to the airport in 45 mins at rush hour (it takes this long when you can go 80 on the freeway...) I said we would need to double that. He told me he does it all the time and it would be fine. I got him to leave early enough to give us an hour... Turns out, I was right and an hour is not enough time to get to DFW at 8am rush hour.
We get booked on the next flight and and head to the prestigious airport TGIF enjoy some cocktails.
Many hours later, we land to see views like this!
Hey Miami! |
Hey Fountainbleau! |
Hubs had work meetings to attend to Thursday through Saturday, so I spent my time at the pool. With $24 a piece cocktails. I don't want to know how much I spent. Yikes.
$24 for a cocktail... But I got this keepsake cup! Worth it, right? Right...? |
Friday night was hubs' work awards banquet, so we had to get all dressed up. I bought a new cocktail dress and felt all fancy!
This was my partner in crime while our husbands were in meetings all day: Ashley. We shopped and pool-sided it and drank! |
Dinner selfie... Because why not |
Sunday hubs was officially off the clock for work, and we spent it relaxing, shopping and going out to a nice dinner together. We went for Cuban food... It was good, but not my favorite.
Cuban sandwich, Oxtail stew, and fried yuca |
Today we're likely in the air, flying home as you read this. We had a great time (probably more so me, since hubs was stuck in work meetings most the time) but are ready to get back to this sweet little baby!
Screen shot of a pic sent of our little man! Can't wait for baby snuggles. It wouldn't be a Monday post without at least one pic of him, right?! |
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as I did! I have to tell you though... With the holidays, holiday travel and this trip, I'm now very excited to get back into a normal schedule.
I'm glad you had a great time. $24 cocktails?! Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI know you're ready to be home and settled by now. Yay for jetting off, even if only for a long weekend, right?
$24 cocktails: Welcome to Miami!! It was still a blast, and hey - the cocktails were delicious!
DeleteThank you! LOVED that dress, and got so many compliments that night. $24 is highway robbery... Highway robbery for booze!
ReplyDeleteoh what a fun time!! you look absolutely stunning in that dress girl - seriously, you should wear it all the time ;) that cup is pretty fun but not worth $24 lol!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would totally wear it all the time if the occasion permitted... Alas, I don't think I would like the dry cleaning bills from all the spit up that would end up on it, lol!
DeleteSo glad you had a good time. I love adults only vacay's, but there's nothing like coming back to baby snuggles. And $24 a cocktail?! That's not even that big of a cup!
ReplyDeleteThanks, we had a really good time! But it's so true; all I want to do is play and cuddle my lil man!
DeleteLooks like u hada fun vacay! omh $24??? at least u got a keepsake out of it!
ReplyDeleteWould love for you linkup this post on my Weekend Recap too :) XO

Isn't that insane? Forget the cup, I want the whole bottle for that!
DeleteI'll make sure and stop by the link up! Thanks for the heads up!
Beautiful dress and ouch for $24 cocktails! Those nice resorts can be a bit ridiculous on their alcohol prices especially Miami & South Beach!
ReplyDeleteMiami isn't know for being cheap... And I now know what we spent on cocktails. Ouch! :/
DeleteI'm the same way! I'm always forgetting to take pictures when I'm doing fun things and I'm trying to be better at it but I also don't thing it's necessarily a bad thing. Cheers to finding a happy medium right?! You looked fabulous! I know your hubs was proud to have you on his arm! Glad you had a good time! A fabulous trip AND another "my wife is always right" story to add to the books?! That's an all around win my friend! ha! xx
ReplyDeleteExactly, who has time for pics?! I'm too busy living in the moment! Awwww, and yes, he told me that he was proud to have me on his arm. Xo!
DeleteYou look SO pretty in that dress and the view from the airplane is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteI was totally leaning over the person in the window seat to take the pic, haha! I was like, excuse me, I'm a blogger, need a pic...
DeleteUmmmmmm of course we wore dresses from the exact same designer. I wouldn't have expected anything else. Gorgeous!!! I still can't believe we didn't make it happen! I mean.....that place is like 10 square miles I swear but next time we definitely need to coordinate better. Oh and did you see like all the 16 year old imports at the main bar.....ID's anyone? Actually anytime you are in the state of FL or I'm in Dallas it's on! Oh that sweet baby I hope you got tons of loving when you got home!
ReplyDeleteWhen you sent me that pic of your bach dress I was like OMG OF COURSE! 10 miles, no joke, and you were staying on the opposite side from us. Oh, all those guys with the 16 yr olds? My hubs co workers. Yuuuuuuup. Classy.
DeleteThat is a seriously awesome getaway! Can't get over the cocktail dress you wore….as in, you WORE that dress. Glad you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteIt really was, thanks Tracy! I love that dress and hope I have a chance to wear it again ;)
DeleteOh Miami - one city I haven't made it too, but since my brother in law lives there, it's definitely a bonus excuse to visit. And $24 drinks - yeah, Id be scared to look at my receipt too. Your little one has the cutest face. So adorbs!
