Miami Beach, FL this has become an annual event for the Crows and the Knoeferl's.



Bacon Bitch for Brunch


We spent the afternoon lounging at the pool at the Tony Hotel.

We also got ourselves a room at the Tony Hotel. We will not get a room again at the Tony. The room wasn't bad but was located on Ocean Drive and very loud. And South Beach just felt dangerous with the much needed police presence.




Osteria del Mar 

New Smyrna Beach, FL


Our main reason for visiting New Smyrna Beach was to visit our favorite restaurant, The Garlic. They open at 4pm and there is always a line.
