What We've Been Up To

One week down, one week to go, in Miami. We've been having a really great time hanging out with the family. Somewhere along the way, we all got a little sick, but it passed over the weekend.

Last Friday we headed to the Miami Children's Museum with the girls. After reading some negative reviews on Yelp, I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had. Although it wasn't exactly what I think of when I think museum, it was a great place for the kids. It was a million times more museum like than the museum we visited in St. Louis. V was able to dress up in all sorts of fun little outfits and shop at Publix, direct highway traffic, and take care of me in the ER. Adri kind of just followed along.




The Miami Children's Museum also offered a military discount, which was great! Hubster got in free, and four family members were half off .

 
On Saturday night we went to this salsa concert, where Hubster's uncle's band was playing. We had fun, but I was a little annoyed that the music didn't start until midnight, when we were told that the band would start playing at 10:30. I'd hate to have been one of the people who arrived when the doors opened at 9:00.

Sunday was spent with family. My dad grilled some burgers, and some of Hubster's family came over. We met his brother's girlfriend, who was very nice. She had a daughter who was about seven, and got along great with Veronica.

We've already got a pretty packed schedule for the rest of the week. We're going to have to take a day or two to repack our suitcases, and make sure they're not too heavy. It'll be like a giant mean mind game puzzle to get everything within the weight limit.

Love, Alex

  3. I love that you're making the most of your time there! Darn those weight limits - it can be tricky getting everything you need on the plane! (My husband & I flew a while age & his weights didn't matter - because he was active duty, but mine did. Might want to check your airline to see...)
