And we are off to Miami Beach!!

After viewing the alligators and taking an airboat ride we were finally on our way to Miami Beach!  The only rain we experienced during vacation was during the long drive to Miami Beach....we were so lucky!
We stayed at the Courtyard right in the heart of Miami Beach.  It was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed.  Loved the bright colors everywhere and couldn't help but feel festive! The bright colors made me feel so relaxed!

The outdoor seating everywhere made us want to sit right down and relax!  However, Ashton was on a mission to see "DASH", the Kardashian family store.  She led, we followed!

And she is off!
The girls enjoyed looking around the boutique, Mark sat down on a bench outside and chatted with some friendly folks who were also on vacation.  The only thing we could afford in the store were some small cosmetic bags for each of us and a lip balm for me and nail polish for Ashton!  I took a few photos in the store but the "doorman" quickly told us no photos were allowed, just at the cash register!!
Ashton made a quick stop at Miami Ink....

We had  wonderful views from the hotel roof.  I especially loved this little pool situated in a tiny area between two big buildings, an oasis indeed.
Mark at the end of the day....re-filling his wallet!!

You all have a walking auto teller machine.

I've never heard of Dash. Wow! It must be something special if they won't let you take any photos. You really had an amazing vacation!

Ashton appears to be a good shopping guide.
I love the outdoor seating (so practical /helpful) , and the caption of the last photo in particular.

If shopping is included I can be lured most anywhere, but I bet this is a great place!

Hope the trip was as much fun as you hoped. Is it not very hot and humid?
