We in Miami!

Our honeymoon was right after our wedding in April. We went to South Beach in Miami Florida. I am already craving another beach getaway. Although, I am no Miami expert, being there only one short week, I wanted to share some of my favorite things about our honeymoon. We stayed at the Marriott South Beach. Our boutique hotel was adorable and right on the beach. We went to the beach everyday and then would go out on the town every night. We wanted to experience everything! Although we did get to relax, it seems like we were always on the go. We ate local Cuban food, and got cortaditos everyday! That Cuban coffee is legit! We explored all of Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road Mall, Collins Avenue and the surrounding area, went Jet skiling in the bay and saw all the famous celebrity houses and swam in the marina. One of my favorite places was this amazing little mojito bar- the best mojitos EVER! During dinner one night the Heat game was on, I mentioned that would have been cool to go. We thought why not just check the schedule and it turns out they had a home game our last night in town! This was my first NBA game and it was a blast! I've talked to other people who have gone to professional basketball games and they don't seem to be as wild as Heat games. There was a DJ, strobe light and percussion- such a party. I don't know how the players concentrate! South Beach reminds me a lot of Southern California but downtown Miami, "Bayside" which is just on the other side of the bridge, well that is like a whole different world. Everyone looks like the Kardashians! I think we got a great taste of the city and did it all. I absolutely loved Miami, it was an amazing trip, we didn't want to leave. On our last morning we woke up early to get some more Miami Beach time for the last time. Since we were packed we thought why not get some margs while we savor the last bit of Florida air. Literally they were calling our names when our car arrived to take us to the airport, "Mr. and Mrs. Shields, your ride is here" NOOOOO I wanted to cry! We are already planning our anniversary trip and little weekends in between. I can't wait to keep exploring the world with my hubby:)
