Life's a Beach @ SOBE

We spent our past Saturday and Sunday in South Beach, Miami. I had a ticket to go to a Luis Miguel's concert but we made it a short break from the routine staying at the Gansevoort in South Beach. I was a little dissapointed with our room, but the hotel was incredible. I fell in love with their pool and the lobby. We spent Saturday afternoon at the "family" friendly pool since the rooftop pool had a pool party going on. I like parties but those parties let so many people in that you can barely get in the pool. We wanted to relax this weekend and that is what we did.

The W was next door. I want to stay here next time

The concert was incredible and I was so glad to be there that I didn't care about being alone. There was another Colombian girl next to me alone so we kept each other's company. I was proud to go by myself and do what I want even if it felt weird.

On Sunday, we went to Nikki Beach which is one of my favorite places in Miami. Parking was very hard to find and we gave up and paid $20 at a lot a few blocks away from the beach. We had brunch, a few mimosas, and the best mojitos in Miami. I had the drinks because my boyfriend was hangover. The brunch was incredible! probably the best brunch I've ever had. 



No visit to Miami is complete without a Mojito

We drove back to Tampa in the late afternoon. This is the 4th weekend in a row that I was out of town. Next weekend we have Monday off work and we will be spending Saturday night in Orlando to visit Disney's theme parks. We have the Florida resident pass and what better way to spend the holiday weekend than to visit Mickey Mouse.
I love that building with the Britto figure
Love bugs every where! It is officially summer

    Wow, the pool looks incredible and the environment even better! The mojito, of course how could one miss out on a mojito in MIA? I think my favorite item of the hotel is the Elephant Table! I bet you liked it to LOL ;)
