Florida with Kort

I'd originally planned to attend the Florida State vs. Louisville game with Kortnee, but my sister's wedding ended up being that weekend so I had to cancel. We decided to instead attend the Florida State vs. Miami game in Miami. It was amazing.
Let's go FSU!


Our seats were not close
The sunset was unreal, though
FSU almost won, but did not. It was still one of the most fun sporting events I've ever attended. The weather was amazing. Miami played really fun songs like turnover chain quite a bit (whoops!). 

We had a couple of days so we stayed in a hotel just outside of Fort Lauderdale and hopped up and down interstate 95 as we pleased. 

We hit the spa in West Palm Beach which was excellent. We then grabbed lunch and hit the beach for a bit before the red tide got to us and we had to go.
Hitting the spa

Tropical Smoothie is a requirement

Palm Beach is also a requirement
Trump's compound: Mar-A-Lago
I took Kort on my signature tour of Palm Beach. We even got to see President Trump's house. I'd heard it was pretty locked down, but since he was not in town we drove right by without issue. We also visited City Place to do some shopping before heading to Clematis street to have dinner.
Rocco's Tacos never disappoints! 

Legit!!
After dinner we went to Sloan's Ice Cream for dessert before heading back to Fort Lauderdale for the evening. I love Palm Beach so any chance I get to visit is a good one!

The next day we went down to Miami so Kort could see South Beach. We grabbed lunch and then headed for the beach. It was actually a nice day so we hung out for a few hours.
Lunch on the strip

quesadillas for days
Kort is obsessed with crime shows it seems and really wanted to see the Versace mansion on South Beach where a madman killed the famous fashion designer. We were close so we walked down to see it. The mansion is now a hotel.

Realizing that smiling seemed odd
After we'd had enough of Miami we headed back to Ft. Lauderdale. We got a Greek dinner as Kort is obsessed with this type of cuisine. Mine was just OK, but she was happy so that's good!

All was well til the cinnamon dessert. EWW.
Our final day was a sunny one so we soaked in the sun and swam in the pool until we had to leave town. It was a fun girl's trip!
