First week in Miami!

So I am going to do my best at blogging and keeping things up to date- i figured this way, I have a log of all our adventures and everyone at home can see what we have been up to! I am trying to catch up now from the first week in Miami- it's just been so busy, but I want to catch up! So here is what we did the first week! :)

On Sunday (our first full day here) we decided to check out South Beach! It was a lot of fun, but very expensive to park! You have to pay to park EVERYWHERE down here! it's really quite ridiculous, but whatever. So we hung out on the beach for a few hours and people-watched- it wasnt really what we expected, but it was still very interesting and fun! (and crowded!, but I'm guessing that's just because it's such a hot spot). Here are some pics:

"water so clear you can see to the bottom"- ALL the beaches water has been SO clear!

Lots of people! ps: it was a sunday at like 6pm:


Chillin' on the beach :)

A REAL coconut tree! I was SUPER excited :)
Monday I had to work! Well had to fill out paperwork really....it only took like half the day and then we tried out beach #2! I cant find the pic for this one, but when I do i'll post it! The water was soooo clear and the sand was amazing. It was a lot of fun and less expensive to park here!

Tuesday I had some meetings and then we went to visit Aunt Vicky! It was very neat driving to Homestead because my mother grew up there. It's really nice. Aunt Vicky's place was really nice too and so was our trip, we chatted and got dinner and she told us about the Miami area. She also then introduced me and John to Trueblood! Guess what we did for the next few days! ADDICTED! We have now officially caught up! It is SO good! Thanks Aunt Vicky! :)

The rest of the week I had to work on and off, we checked out the area some and watched a lot of Trueblood- oh and of course unpacked a lot when our stuff got here. We also tried beach 3 on Friday- it was alright. It was more of a place to take kids:
It was really pretty but just a bunch of kids there- so I doubt we'll go back often. It also wasnt really beachy- it was more of a pool of water from the ocean that is enclosed. It's very calm.

It was a great first week to say the least! I cant believe we actually live here! It's crazy thinking we can go to the beach any day we want. It's also hard to believe that it's warm here year round. CRAZY!
