Welcome to Miami

Day 42 & 43 - Miami, FL - Sunny and upper 80's:

We headed out of Delray around 11:30am to make our way to Miami! We are fortunate that Christina (a friend for years) lives and Miami and was more than happy to have us stay with her and her cousin. She lives in a great spot overlooking the bay and just across the bridge from South Beach. Once we arrived we headed straight to the beach. It was a beautiful day. They were even doing a photo shoot on the beach which was neat to see. We returned to Christina's apartment to shower and wait for her boyfriend James to get home from work. Once he arrived we headed to P.F. Chang's for dinner. It was delicious and I want to let you know that when they call their dessert the "The Great Wall of Chocolate Cake" they aren't kidding. Once piece fed all of us!!

The next morning we slept in a bit before Ben and I headed back to South Beach. We walked around town visiting places like Miami Ink (the show on TLC), DASH (from Keeping up with the Kardashians), and Lincoln Ave (a no car shopping street that stretches for at least 6 blocks). We grabbed lunch at a little place called Paul's. It was DELICIOUS. We met up with Christina later that afternoon and headed back to lay on the beach. We saw another photo shoot. If I had to guess, it was for JCrew or a similar clothing line. It was a much bigger production than the shoot from yesterday. We again headed back to the apartment for showers before heading out to dinner. Christina, Tatiana (her cousin), Ben and I headed to Crazy Pianos a dueling piano restaurant. It was a great spot. The have two pianos set up and they play together all night. Different people play but the music never stops. They were very impressive musicians and if I lived in Miami I would definitely head back to this spot!
