Travel Tuesday - Ft. Laudyyy

I still haven't written about my birthday week in Ft. Lauderdale so I figured what better way to do it than to link up with Helene for Travel Tuesdays! I got a little picture happy so sorry in advance.

 

There was a lot of preparation going into the trip but none

more important than vacation toes!!

 

 

We stayed at the Alhambra Beach Resort which I can honestly say is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. There are only 10 rooms so the staff is extra accomadating and we had such an amazing time. We stayed in the suite which I am so mad at myself for not taking pictures of!

 

 

Cute little lizards lived by the pool but sadly,

I didn't catch one to bring home with me. I tried.

 

 We got there a little late for beach time so we headed to happy hour for a little pre-birthday shenanigans. I was in bed by 10:30 PM. Way to go Cort.

 

The next morning I woke up to a bunch of birthday cupcakes delivered to our hotel by my wonderful boyfriend who is such an awesome planner. We ended up only eating four of them the whole time that we were there. He knows that I don't like cake but thought cupcakes might be different. Nope. They were really pretty though!

 

 

One of my sorority sisters lives in Ft. Lauderdale so she met us at the hotel and we headed down to the beach. We first made a pit stop at Fat Tuesdays. 190 Octane with a shooter? Yes please.

 

So after a couple birthday shots.. we finally headed to the beach! I need to live by the ocean someday. I'd seriously be so happy to live in a bikini and wear ridiculous flowers on my head every day.

 

 

After lounging/drinking on the beach all day, it was time for birthday dinner! Paul chose a cute little spot on the water and I chose to drink too many Miami Vice's.

We Might Have Forgotten SPF.

The Yummy Dessert I Don't Remember Eating

 Everyday after that we just did the beach bum thing with our Fat Tuesday cups. I had to take a picture of the lifeguard stand because of the purple flag which means "Dangerous Marine Life." This flag was up everyday that we were there but we still swam anyway. Liquid courage.

 

Thirsty Paul?

 

Our last night in Ft. Laudy, we went out with my sorority sister and her boy toy. We wanted to keep it "low key" because we had to drive to Orlando the next day. We didn't. Most of my pictures from that night are not blog material.

Could Paul be more tan?

Our last night in Florida we spent in Orlando with one of Paul's college buddies and his girlfriend. His girlfriend is from Brazil and doesn't speak english very well. They took us to a cigar bar and his girlfriend showed me the girly cigars that tasted like blueberries.

I hate cigars or anything you smoke in general but I was just glad to be able to talk to her about something.

 

 

So that was the PG version of our trip. I already told you about the way less fun way it ended here. I still can't believe that happened.

 

 Where have you been lately?

 

  Had to show you how excited Remi was about my post today.  

 

Obviously pretty freaking excited.

  Xoxo, Cortney
