South Beach, Miami, Florida

What to do on Saturday--oh, let's go to South Beach and check out the water? Would you believe the sights! The weather was perfect for an afternoon at the beach. We did some walking and ended up on Lincoln Road for a late lunch at Nexxt.

Table 8, South Beach

Monday night we went to Jason's restaurant for dinner. Table 8 on South Beach is one class act. The food was fantastic and the company was great!

Table 8, South Beach

The food was fantastic, Brayden is enjoying the sweetbreads, and Carol even ate her mussels. We sat outdoors on Ocean Drive, enjoying the scenery and the balmy Florida evening.

Jackie and Jerry

We also took an afternoon to go visit Jackie and Jerry, who were home from Tennessee, for baby Hailee's heart surgery. (The surgery went well, and Hailee is recovering, hopefully home in a few days.) It was fun to spend some time with them again. Their new home in Dunlap will be finished soon and we are anxious to visit them there.

Carol and Jim stayed at Caryn's house Tuesday night, so Caryn could take them to the airport Wednesday morning. However, we ended the night at Jai Alai and had a lot of fun.

Karla and Ric

Ric and Karla called to say they were touring south Florida and did we have an evening to get together. We did. Had a great dinner at Jason's Table 8 on South Beach. Caryn and Brayden joined us for a fun time. Ric was Mitch's principal, Karla taught the kids piano lessons many years ago. It was great to spend some time with them.

Baby Great Horned Owl

There is a Great Horned Owl nest with a baby at the Everglades Visitors Center. He is a real cutie. Click on the picture to be able to zoom in.

Deb and Mike

We did have a good time visiting with Mike and Deb after their cruise. We picked them up at the cruise line, then made a trip to Miami Jai Alai. Had a fun afternoon. Before we took them to the airport to return to cold Minnesota, we did a quick Everglades trip (notice the alligator just above their shoulders). And no trip to the Everglades is complete without a milkshake at Robert is Here.
