So we have been totally into Groupon lately...everything from hitting up shopping deals at Nordstrom to finding new and quirky restaurants to try. Just the other week Jeff goes - "hey there's a Groupon for a Vespa rental, two movie tickets, and dozen roses on Valentines' Day in Miami." I said - "That sounds so random and fun - let's take the day off and do it." So we did! Jeff and I always say we are going to take a random day off together and hang out but we never do it and we've really been trying to enjoy all the fun things that being South Floridians has to offer. We really do feel lucky to live in such a beautiful place and Monday was no exception...I have to say that we had a total blast cruising around Miami on this fun Vespa and stopping for some different sightseeing. We apparantly got the "Corey Hart Vespa" b/c it is the one that he and Pink have rented before when they are in town. We picked up the Vespa downtown and went south to Coconut Grove for lunch. This is a sort of arts district and there's all these funny peacock statues and fun restaurants and cool architecture - we ate at a ceviche themed place called Jaguar and it was so yummy. There were umbrellas outside and a giant Jaguar was on the side of the building so it was pretty much a win-win. Then we found this fun historical site called The Barnacle, which is an old house that looks over Biscayne Bay - talk about beautiful! Then we went back north to South Beach and found this cool road across the bay called Venetian Way and saw all these Old Florida Art Deco and Spanish Houses before we got to the beach area with all the fancy smancy hotels. We also found this really amazing park with fun spider overhangs on the way to the beach. It was an awesome day - it just makes me appreciate Jeff and his sense of adventure so much and that even after all that we've been through, we can still take a day off for random fun.
Oh and by the way....the beach pictures are for all of you out there experiencing Snowpoclypse! Boo-ya! hahahaha!
