Friday – Travel Day
Columbus > Ft Lauderdale > Coral Gables
Flew down to Fort Lauderdale early. I am taking a mini vaca in Coral Gables. My parents are driving over for the weekend to join me.
After landing, I stopped at a DDD place – Grampa’s Place. Grabbed a breakfast sandwich and some pastries for my parents.
Parents joined me at the hotel in the afternoon. We sat by the pool and had a late lunch. Very relaxing.
In the evening we walked down Miracle Mile. Eventually stopping for a late dinner and an Irish Pub.
Saturday – Vacation Day
Coral Gables
Up early and went to breakfast at a French/Cuban spot on Miracle Mile. It was ok.. think a few things got lost in translation.
We then headed to Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
Vizcaya is a National Historic Landmark; built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens features a Main House, ten acres of formal gardens, and a rockland hammock.
It was a very interesting place. The grounds were amazing. We did a self guided audio (headset) tour.
Here are some pics….
In the afternoon, we relaxed by the pool again.
Then we walked down to Miracle Mile and had an early dinner at BGR. It was quite tasty!

In the evening, mom read while dad and I figured out how to use the GoPro camera that I got him for Christmas.
Sunday – Game Day
Florida St vs Miami
Last night, our producer took the core crew out for dinner. I didn’t go since my parents were in town. Sounds like I missed out on a doozy of a party! Everyone was showed up this morning with sunglasses on and coffee in hand.
It was fun listening to the stories and even better that I didn’t feel the way they all did!
Susie and I had lunch at Whole Foods. We sat outside and it was just a wonderful winter day in South Florida!
