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 :)
trip
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?

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.
trip
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.
trip
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.

Fun photos! Love the one of your husband. VERY miami vice! And that is sad about Matt's little brother. I can't imagine.

I'm glad you had such a great trip! And I love that outfit, the stripes with the skirt, so very perfect. Gosh, I am sad that I have (already!) lost my waist!!

much love: K

calming pictures, especially the ones at the beach, thought it was a bit funny that the police pulled you over just to let you know the lights were out :/ happy new year!
