During the last weekend of my vacation in Florida, I took a road trip to Miami with my sister's family. With any vacation, the important things are relaxation and good food. Plenty of that during the weekend. We stayed at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Doral, FL. We heard that Tiger Woods golfs there but he was away that weekend at the PGA. 
We didn't golf but spent most of Saturday lounging by one of three pools: 
My niece and nephew had a great time because the resort pool had a 150 foot slide called the Blue Monster. Justin was on the slide from 9:30am-4:30pm with a short break for lunch!!! I went on the slide a few times too and I had to admit, it was a lot of fun!  
During the entire weekend, we got to try a variety of latin food. On Friday night we wanted to go to a Columbian restaurant that Rachel Ray recommended on the Food Network. When we got to the address, we found out that it had become a nightclub instead! So, just as Rachel Ray does, we asked a local resident for a restaurant recommendation. The parking attendant directed us to a Peruvian restaurant not too far away....first time having Peruvian and it was super! On Saturday we picked up Cubano sandwiches for lunch and ate by the pool and then later that night we decided to try the Cuban restaurant that Joan recommended. Here we are at Las Culebrinas...and thanks Joan--we loved the place! 
After dinner we walked around the Coconut Grove section of Miami and took in the sights. My sister noticed a crepe place in the neighborhood so we decided to go there on Sunday for brunch. 
A delicious end to our weekend in Miami....we drove back 3.5 hours to Orlando after brunch and after we got home, I went straight to the treadmill!!  |
