They flew in Wednesday evening and when they got in we went to dinner at Titanic We actually ran into a co-worker of mine, Jenni and her husband Joel, so we ate dinner with them. Then we went shopping and stocked up on everything that we needed for the week. John and I had to work the next morning and Kristen and AJ were pretty tired, so we called it an early night.
Thursday, John was able to leave work and come and eat lunch with us. We took them to get some chop chop in the student center- UM. Then we both went to work and the Klingenmaiers explored the MetroRail and took it down to Target. That night we went to a happy hour at a local sports grill to watch the State basketball game. Their wings are AMAZING! and we won! Afterwards, we headed back to our apartment and hung out for the rest of the night. AJ and Kristen watch Modern Family but havnt seen any of the earlier episodes, so we watched a few of those. A lot of fun and went to bed WAY to late! haha.
Friday, I took a half day. While we waited for John to get off work, I took them to the Rat (restaurant on campus) for lunch. We got some yummy burgers and fries to share. When John got home we lounged around some and then watched our basketball game. Another win! :D Then we got ready and headed down to Homestead to visit Schnebly's Winery. We had gotten some Groupons and did a tasting. They also had karaoke and a restaurant serving dinner. So we ate and had a good time.
Saturday I got up and made us breakfast and then we loaded up and headed to the beach! We stopped at Wet Willies on the way and enjoyed the beach for a few hours. We left around 2 so we could cook some tailgating foods and get ready for game! I made Krystal's crack dip, the jalapeno dip, and some pizza volcanoes (volcanoes because they ended up MUCH bigger than planned. lol). It was all very yummy. We ate, watched our terrible football game, and played some cornhole. Sad we lost :( but we tried to have a good time anyway!
Watching the game (I forgot to take many pictures.)

Sunday we slept in and had planned to go to the beach, but it was overcast all day. :( We ended up hanging out some and then we went to The Biltmore Hotel which is probably one of the nicest hotels in Miami. They do haunted ghost tours since it was converted to a WWII hospital for awhile. We ended up missing the tour :( The times online were wrong- sad day. But walking around the property was still beautiful! Afterwards we went and got food at Scotty's Landing. YUMMY! Then we headed back and played some board games and watched our last basketball game. We lost :(.
So pretty!
They had bird cages inside
I think we read it has the largest pool in the continental US!
Golf course
Dinner!
From our seats
me and hubby!
Monday we got up and John and I had to take care of a few errands (more on this later!) and then we headed to the beach. It was gorgeous out! We hung out for a few hours and then headed back towards home to get some dinner. We took them to Shake Shack and man it was delicious. I sure did feel like a fat kid afterwards though! haha. The rest of the night we ended up loading a Uhaul and packing up some of our belongings. John and I had decided a few weeks back that regardless of whether or not we decided to move home early, we were going to start taking things home. So we loaded what we could into the Uhaul! We packed until 2am- YIKES! then left bright and early the next morning.
We packed the Uhaul and the Tahoe tight and had 4 adults and a dog crammed into the car. It ended up taking 17 1/2 hours to get home and of course in the first 30 minutes we started with a blowout on the Uhaul. Luckily, they only took about an hour total to fix it! Then we were back on our way :D We had some good company, Carter was a sweetheart, and we made it home safely :D
womp womp..
Carter took turns cuddling with people
Kristen's turn!
Overall, we had a wonderful trip with the Klingenmaiers and cannot wait until we get to hang out with them more often!!
