We had a wonderful weekend in Miami with my little boy and his girlfriend. On Friday we went out for Honduran food, she's originally from Honduras, so we had her order for us and it was delicious! We went for a loooong walk on Saturday. The kids live about a mile from the ocean, so we walked there, through Little Havana, the downtown area and then down to Brickell Key and walked around there, looking at the big yachts going by.
On Sunday we went and toured Villa Vizcaya, a beautiful mansion built about 100 years ago. It was falling into disrepair when the owners donated it to the county and it's slowly being repaired. The inside of the house is pretty much done and is beautiful. The gardens are huge and so much fun to wander around it. My favorite thing was the barge though. It's a big cement breakwater made to look like a ship. Back in the day it had palm trees and gazebos on it and it looked very elegant, today it looks more like a shipwreck, so still cool, but in a different way. If you're ever in Miami, I highly recommend taking a look.
So, now we're back home and settling back into life, until we head out again this weekend, this time to see WE and his wife. We haven't seen them since August, which is pretty sad since they're the kids we actually live closest to.
