It was time to get out Dodge and so I went to Miami to pay a family visit.  The weather was awesome and it was really great to shed the “coat” and “gloves”. 🙂

I also have to admit that it was birthday time and so my sister-in-law and I went to Shucker’s Bar and Grill.  Shucker’s Bar and Grill is one of my favorite restaurants because it’s right by the water and the boats can dock and get their food as well!  So it’s a great people watch place as well!

So here it is Christmas/New Year time at Shuckers…

So what did I order. SoLOL-the “same” thing that I ordered the last time that I was at Shuckers because I really like it…

The dish is called Tropical Salad and it has dried apricots, grilled pineapples, assorted berries, baby field greens, grape tomatoes,cucumber, goat cheese and I ordered  honey vinaigrette to go with it.

It was so yum!!!

Then we drove to The Adventura Mall which is about 30 minutes away dependent and went to see the movie, Lion which I strongly recommend.

Here are some photos of the mall, again all lit up for holiday time…

Then when we got back to Miami and  my sister-in-law had a birthday cake for me and it was an awesome birthday indeed!!!
