Less than 24 hours ago, I was in the scorching sun of south Florida. Current temperature in Washington, DC: 27F. Forgive me if I’m less than impressed.
Things in Miami started off as you would imagine– we hit the gym, spa, and pool immediately upon arrival.
It was all fun and games until people started standing on their heads:
And once we realized our girl Mimi and her hubs Nick Cannon were in town… it was ON (in a rude turn of events, Mariah never tweeted us back. Humph.)
We got all gussied up and headed to Katsuya for an amazing sushi dinner
Amazingly, KPMGKef was in town as well, so she met up with us at the Delano and schooled us on how to take a selfie.
But we think there’s something about the wrist of a 23 year old that makes selfies so good… so we resorted to asking the bartender to take a shot
Yes, I know my Spanx are showing. No, I’m not going to edit them out.
Another 12 hours and thousands of glasses of bubbly later, it was time for QueijoKef’s parents (CrashKef and SpritzKef) to collect us from Miami and head on to our next destination: Joe’s Stone Crab.
We wasted no time getting down with some stone crab, sauteed mushrooms, and lobster mac & cheese.
Let’s take a break here for just a second to give some much-deserved high praise for Crash & Spritz Kef… they are just about the most amazing hosts on the face of this planet. Queijo and I last visited them together when they were holding court in Rio, and they have only become more warm, welcoming, and fun in the last 7 years. A HUGE thank you to my hosts!
By Saturday we had a singular goal: get Crash to the couch at Palodar with a mojito in hand by sunset. Challenge accepted.
… but not without some stops along the way.

SpritzKef knows my heart–she made sure to point out that the Whole Foods was there in the distance!
If anybody needs a straw, we have extra!
Driving home, we paid homage to our Québécois friends
Mangez. Sommeil. Rave. Répétez.
And then, as quickly as it started, the Suspicious Minds dance party of 2014 was over. Per usual, Queijo and I ended up nestled in the bosom of a very grounding floor.
Here’s the thing (and there’s ALWAYS a thing…)
Back to the real world and the real blog tomorrow– thanks to QueijoKef, SpritzKef, and CrashKef for an amazing weekend!
