It's Been Awhile...Sorry we were in Florida!

Beautiful Ft. Lauderdale.... WE LOVE IT!

Matt and I took a MUCH needed mini-vacation to Ft. Lauderdale last weekend. It hasn't been the best 2010 so far, so we needed a little "pick-me-up." We are so thankful that my Mom was able to watch Mya so Matt and I could go on our first baby-free vacation! It was difficult to leave our little lady, but we had a blast without her! :0) It helped that we knew she was in good hands! Thanks Mimi!

We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale and it was 84 degrees and sunny! We immediately bellied up to the bar at an outside cafe and drank ourselves silly! Literally. We did manage to make it to a cute little restaurant on the intercoastal, enjoy some delicious seafood, figure out how to take the water taxi back to our hotel, end the night drinking $13 dollar margaritas (oops!), meet some interesting people, and ALMOST go clubbing with a 50 year old mom! Needless to say, it was a fabulous first day of vacation!!!! The next day was cloudy and cool but we still enjoyed our day AND I managed to still get burned!

By Sunday we were ready to head home to see our little angel. I think we were more excited to see her than she was to see us. To be perfectly honest, I think she would have been just fine staying with her Mimi for a few more days!

Our first day! This was taken after a long afternoon of cocktails!

The second day was SUPER windy!!! Matt is anti-picture taking so we only got a few shots. No retakes either....hence the windblown hair.

A picture on the awesome water-taxi. It takes you up and down the intercoastal. They tell you all about the mansions and yachts. We saw a home owned by Jay Leno and a home ALMOST owned by OJ Simpson. The neighbors outbid him, $17 million, so he wouldn't be able to buy it. As the driver said, "Don't worry, he's in another big house now....it's a gated community."
