our family got invited to the bar mitzvah of a dear friend of the family, but mom and dad were out of town, so husby and i went to represent the winters clan. i am SO glad we did because it was a FABULOUS party and such a fun weekend!!
we arrived late on friday night, and went straight to find something for dinner. we stumbled upon a sushi bar that was open till 5am. not only was it very chic and swanky, they had a DJ spinning tunes AND they served cotton candy after your meal. so cooL!
after dinner we headed to check into our beautiful hotel…
loved our pink desk chair…
the next morning we headed up to hollywood for the mitzvah…
on our way to the temple we passed these 4 old men riding their bikes in their resort wear. so cute!
beautiful temple doors…
matt was SO excited to get to wear a yarmulke! and he got to keep it! even better!
the ceremony was so lovely. we really enjoyed seeing the jewish traditions and hearing all the torah readings…
when we left the ceremony, matt was drooling over this lambo in the parking lot…
however, i was drooling over this baby…
after the mitzvah, we drove up the coast in our rented cadillac and found a taco shack on the beach(appropriately named taco beach shack) where we had incredible fish tacos…
the party that night was ridiculous. it was nicer than most weddings i have been to… they sure know how to party in miami!
everything had a “pirates of the caribbean theme”…
i loved doing the jewish dances and yelling mazel tov!
jacob, the guest of honor!
larry, one of my dads best friends from high school, jacobs dad…
the “teen lounge” with fake fire pits and couches…
mechanical shark!…
we definitely made use of the photo booth!
the next morning we drove back up the coast to have brunch with the goldman family.
i love miami’s architecture…
before brunch we stopped for a walk on the boardwalk where we stumbled upon a juice bar at the farmers market! i was so excited to get a giant glass of green juice!
our beautiful view at brunch…
after brunch we drove back down to south beach to explore. there was gorgeous scenery the whole way…
loved seeing boats on the water literally inches away from the cars…
when we got to south beach i absolutely fell in love with the colors!
we had to at least walk out onto the infamous south beach, even if we didnt get to spend much time there…
love this sherbert colored lifeguard stand!
i think i loved this vintage pink car even more though! i want one!
we had a blast in miami, and i cant wait to spend more time there some day!
