Miami is Nice, so I'll say it Thrice

Whenever I here the word Miami, I always think about that Golden Girls episode when Rose (Betty White) is writing lyrics to a song about the city. Although there were plenty of Golden Girls references on our most recent trip, fortunately there were no Golden Girls moments.

Mr. T and I set out for a five day adventure that helped us recover from an otherwise stressful holiday season. It was also the perfect opportunity (and first that I have had) to use my new macro lens!

These shots were taken at Vizcaya: a surprising and stunning "retreat" for an urban industrialist, built at the beginning of the 1900's. The gardens were my favourite part.




Of course, our entire visit wasn't spent absorbing horticultural and architectural marvels. In fact, the larger part of it was spent spent lounging on the beach or on the roof top terrace with the other South Bitches, and a margarita, of course.



We both arrived back in Montreal feeling relaxed and Vitamin D'ed: ready to face a busy six weeks of packing for the big move.
