Miami Beach, Unexpectedly

 You would think that when you plan to go to Miami Beach, you plan on actually going on the beach... 

Not the case this time. We didn't pack swimming suits, beachy wear or in Joshua's case, shorts or sandals! I admit that when we were in talks of going to Miami Beach, that we were just going to walk, shop, sightsee and eat.

Somehow we (J and a couple of our friends, Lindsey and Richard) strolled on the beach, sat in the shade of that awesome lifeguard house and people watched. I just marveled at the color of the ocean. It was so blue, not like the greenish color we have here in the Gulf.

Amid crowds of people and noisy passersby, being next to the ocean is still the most rejuvenating place to be.

Nespresso in Miami

Coffee has become a part of my everyday. It doesn't matter if it's a hot day or a cold day, iced or steaming coffee makes my morning. After hearing so many great things about Nespresso coffee, I knew I had to try it. Luckily, there's a Nespresso Cafe in Miami Beach, so I made it my mission to go while I was visiting. Joshua and I made the trip into a mini morning date. It was such a cute and modern cafe with delicious sweets. I loved everything about it. Although it comes with a hefty bill, it was so worth it. Now, I need to save up for a Nespresso machine. Or early Christmas present? ;)

Sunset Above Ground

Traveling to Miami this weekend was so worth it. I got to see Joshua, met some of his hometown friends (after nearly 4 years, finally!) and explore a new city. So nice to get away from the chaos that is work and monotony of being at home. Then to top off my weekend, I watched the glorious sun set from thousands of feet above ground. Our earth is so beautiful, isn't it?

More photos to come. How was your Labor Day weekend?
