Pon De Miami

Miami - where you at fool? Oh, there you are. Right outside my window. So Caitlin, Max and I went outside, grabbed a Subway breakfast sandwich and then hit the streets. We decided to have zero plan and to just walk around some parks and relax.

We gradually found our way over to Brickell Island right across the water from the financial district. It seemed pretty swanky. In the couple of hours we were on this tiny island, we saw three Ferrari's, a Bentley (I wish Tracy, but the car), and a million BMWs. The island is also home to luxury condos and the Mandarin Oriental.

But for us we really just cared about the park and eating a picnic. We had a great time with perfect weather for just lounging around.

You like my camera Mittoo? You bet you do.

Open wide.

Crazy kid.

Apparently there are a ton of kids on this island and a great little playground park. Max took advantage of that to party it up with all the toys.

And climb through every available tunnel. After Brickell we headed back toward American Airlines Arena to take part in what currently is the most popular show in Miami. No, not Blue Man Group.

The Miami Heat! The Lebron, Wade and Bosh show against the Grizzlies! We got tickets for $19 (and you can see that we are way up...but still a great view).

And it was quite a show.

At half time the Heat had a solid 18 point lead, a respectable lead indeed.

Max was diggin' all the people and noise and lights and movement and fun! How lucky is this kid, seriously? Oh, and Caitlin had a freakin' good time too. She loves a good sports game.

And the Grizzlies were no match. With 3 minutes left in the game, the Heat were up 35 points and it was time for us to go and claim our stroller before the masses squashed us flat.

We ate some flat bread white pizza at an Italian diner close by and man it was good. You know when cheese is really salty and amazing? Well, if you don't...you best live a little. As we headed back to the hotel I suddenly heard some familiar music playing across the street from the hotel. No way. Could it be? Pon de Flor??? It WAS PON DE FLOR! MAJOR LAZER!!!! I stood and looked over the fence for 5-6 songs and danced to Hold the Line with Max. Who knew? What a perfect end to the perfect day.

But we still had Sunday ahead of us.
