Fun, Exciting, Beautiful, Wild – these are all of the adjectives that popped into my head when I first considered a getaway with my husband, Ryan, to Miami. I said, “We’re still young. Going to Miami now is a good idea.” That was my way of justifying the trip to him. To be quite frank, I hope I’m up for trips to Miami even when I’m not young anymore. But, whatever. I made my point. He agreed to go. We live close to our kids’ grandparents who are more than willing to watch them if we go somewhere. It was happening. I was ready to ‘party in the city where the heat is on’ as Will Smith had preached to me for the past 20 years.
