This past weekend we headed up to Miami for the winter term seminar. It was Arianna's first trip to the United States and if you check out the baby blog over the next couple of days you will see several posts on her portion of the trip. On Sunday we hired a babysitter and headed over to Key Biscayne for some Scott and Katie time. We went to Cape Florida to see the lighthouse (Scott checked another one off his list) and then had a romantic dinner on the water on Virginia Key just off of downtown Miami. The afternoon was a great time to reconnect and also to wind down from what had been a very busy several days of working the seminar and then doing baby shopping.
We had bought a pre-paid cell that we will now use on all our US trips and that made us a lot more comfortable about the sitter as she had a way of getting in touch with us immediately. She was great even sending us hourly texts of what was happening. Overall the trip to Miami went very well and we definitely feel better about the longer trips to see family later this spring and into the summer and fall.
