Chesapeake Vacation Two Day Weekend
Last week or so, I went to Chesapeake Beach Resort with the family. It had been forever since we had something that resembled a real vacation. We had visited before ages ago. So, it was a good a time as any to revisit the place. Plus, I was in a fresh shrimp type of mood. The hotel is a stone’s throw away from my favorite fish restaurant. It ended up raining twice during the vacation. The first time was late at night. This gave us plenty of time to fool about the pool. I also did Kayaking for an hour...
Labor Day Foodie Wahoo Desserts and Chesapeake Breakfast
Today, I wanted to rant about what I ate during my vacation. I first went to my usual breakfast place in Delicias de Espana. Afterwards, mom drove us down to Islamorada. Bro was very stressed. So, it was a good excuse as any to go on vacation. After we settled in the hotel, we went to the pool. At night, we ate at Wahoo Bar and grill. It was amusing to see how the Key Lime pie had changed over the years. The whip cream on top is extra crispy, which is nice. The cheesecake has now different topping...
Miami Beach Revisited Colin Street
I recently went back to Miami Beach with my family. I used to visit the place often back when I lived in Hialeah. Hialeah became quite infamous due to the snow. It doesn’t snow, but the movie folks seem to think so. Anyhow…Since I live in Kendall now, it is quite a far away to visit Miami Beach on a weekly basis. The ride there was pleasant enough. You need to get there super early to get parking. We didn’t enter the beach per say. We had come there to eat at Manolo. We wondered about while digesting the food....
Manolo Revisited Foodie Travel
It had been ages since I visited Manolo. It is not that the restaurant got bad. Rather, we moved pretty far away from Miami Beach. It became a real pain to visit that beach and all the places around it. So, this weekend we worked up the energy to visit Manolo again. It was decked out for the FIFA event. At night, the place gets super crowded with fans. This is why it is important to visit it super early if you just want to eat food. We ordered the usual: hotdogs and pizza. Mom had breakfast. It was all...
May Spring Butterfly Photography
It has been a while since I photographed my butterflies. Well, they are not mine per say. They just live in my garden. This Sunday the illumination looked just right. There was also a healthy number of them clustered in a small area. So, it seemed like a good a time as any to photograph them. At first, I was aiming to photograph my zebra butterflies. Unfortunately, they were not in a cooperating type of mood. So, I photographed these orange butterflies and a monarch one that visited the backyard. The monarch butterfly was especially beautiful today. I was able...
