Happy New Year!
We had a much, much needed staycation over the past day and a half. On our last (first) staycation, we stayed local, this time around we headed an hour south to South Beach. My mom was gracious enough to gift Alex and I a one night hotel stay for Christmas. She also stayed at my home to baby and doggy sit while we went away. It was so needed. We stayed at the Breakwater Hotel. It was seriously amazing. The room was amazing and the service was so incredibly helpful and friendly. We aren't really 'south beach' people (I did live there for a while, but once I left, I pretty much never went back), so we spent most of our time sleeping, watching tv, or in the design distract in search of delicious food. Alex slept much of the time, while I happily relaxed with him snuggled up on me. We spent our first evening in the hotel room. Alex slept and I enjoyed a marathon of Portlandia. After, we headed out for pizza, came back to the hotel (where I had left my ID... so weird being carded!), and then headed out to a reggae bar. We spent much of our second day walking around... even though I had clumsily twisted my ankle the night before... it was a bit rough, but stubbornness will get you far ;) We found tacos and mexican coke (vacation guilty pleasure) for breakfast and then made our way to the beach. We finished our night with a movie and of course: more food. Both of us left incredibly happy, full, in love, and a bit more relaxed.

our ocean drive, hotel. it was blocked off the first day due to new years and was a bit of a crazy show on the streets!
ps. extra bonus? The products in the room were all vegan!

my cowl from up a tree cup a tea: doubled as a champagne holder.

last stop: gigi's = extra delicious. we ordered enough food for about three to four people. gluttons.
And now... back to the daily (finally chilly) grind! Happy day, friends :)
