my vacation in pictures

hope you all are having a wonderful new years! today has been pretty low key for us. mostly a lot of cleaning, grocery shopping, and football watching.

we got home at around 9:30 last night after getting pulled over by a cop. he said it was because our taillight was out. seriously? that's a high priority on new years eve? lame. but we got home safe and managed to stay up long enough to pop the bubbly and ring in the new year.

i know a lot of people are doing recaps of 2010 but since my blog birthday is coming up soon i decided to do it then. instead, you get to see some of my favorite pics of our trip! luckies :)

this is a shot of the sunset from the rooftop of the house we stayed at in the keys. it was quite gorgeous. people would go out in their boats to watch the sun go down. ah! that would be the life, huh?

this is at the no name pub where everyone would staple up a dollar. like every single surface was covered with bills!!

we visited the gravesite of matt's little brother who only lived 4 months. we gave isaiah the middle name mark to honor his memory.

this is at matt's uncle's house before we went to dinner for matt's birthday. the backyard is really pretty because it's along the canal with gorgeous landscaping. but the light was pretty harsh and i had a mini freak out from his uncle's dog who jumped up on me. i didn't like that.

this is the cuban restaurant we ate at for our anniversary lunch. my stars it was good.

here's matt looking all miami vice with his stogie and aviators.

we went to club deuce for happy hour. it's one of anthony bourdain's favorite spots in miami so we had to go there. we got buy one get one free single malt scotch! crazy. we were the most normal people in that place.

the miami beach strip at night. super cool.
