Mom's Visit

First I have to apologize for taking so long to post. This week has been crazy to say the least. We have had a lot of technical difficulties at work. Since we moved to the new office, things are always messing up.

Anyways, my mom came down for last weekend and we had a great time. Friday night we went out to dinner at a nice Italian place. I had great lobster and seafood pasta.

Saturday we went on a boat tour to see "millionaire Row" and islands around the beach. First we went by Fisher Island. This island is only accessible by boat or helicopter. Mel Brooks, Oprah, Tom Cruise, Andre Agassi, and Stefi Graff are just a few celebrities that live here. The condos start at 2 million and go to 6 million. The amenities on the island are a polo course, golf course, and 18 tennis courts just to name a few. Then we went by South Beach which is the only natural island off of Miami (I did not know this before our tour). Next we went by Star Island where Millionaire Row is. We saw the following celebrity houses here: the house filmed in Scarface, Rosie O'Donnell, Gloria Estefan (when we went by Gloria's house she happened to be outside getting on her jet ski and was very friendly towards us), Shaq, P Diddy, Sylvester Stallone, Al Capone, Robert Vanwinkle aka. Vanilla Ice, the Parker family (Parker Pens), Bob Kuchenberg (the movie the Specialist was filmed here), some pharmaceutical guy, some German guy that I forgot about, and Julio Iglesias. We had a great time touring through the the islands off of Miami.

Sunday we went to see the Broadway play Rent. We all thoroughly enjoyed this play. It is for sure one of the best plays we have seen. We saw that Lion King is coming in April and can't wait to see this. My mom managed to wear us out but we all had a wonderful time.

Our exciting news of this week is that we just got tickets to the first Miami Heat game!!!!! I am very excited to get to go see them play in person. The game is on October 31st and this is when they players will get their rings.

On a side note, I have to post the pictures separately b.c I can't figure out how to get the pictures in between the text like I want.
