The main purpose of the trip was to see my good friend Lisa, who was pregnant with her first baby (she just had Matthew on Thursday, Dec. 1). She moved to Florida and that's where they were having the baby shower. Since I wanted to go see her anyway and it was a few weeks before our fourth anniversary, Rob and I took a few extra days for ourselves and had a nice little getaway - our first one alone since we went to Europe back in 2009.
We didn't do anything too exciting the first few days which was perfect since all we wanted to do was have a rest and relaxation trip. We woke up early to a beautiful sunrise from our balcony, hit the gym, ate breakfast and then vegged by the pool or on the beach until it was time for dinner. Since we don't mind walking we explored the area and found some really nice restaurants, including Houstons -- Rob LOVED their ribs and I had a yummy salad.
Although the first few days were very relaxing, we were excited to get our rental car on Thursday and get out of the general area. We hit up Miami Beach druing the day, South Beach at night and also got to visit my great aunt who lives in that area before heading to West Palm Beach for the baby shower. All in all it was a quick trip (aren't they always?) but we came back relaxed and ready to tackle the holidays.
Below are a few photos from the trip:
