Adi's first birthday in Miami

We decided to celebrate Adi's first birthday in Miami. The idea was to just stay at the beach and unwind. Reaching Miami turned out to be more adventurous (in hindsight) and frustrating (at the time). Since the United flight got canceled, they put us on American, but did not reissue the ticket. So I reach the counter and find out I cant fly, and must talk to United. The check-in lady was on the phone with a United rep for almost an hour and I went to security literally 10 minutes before the flight. I was running in the concourse like a mad man to catch my flight.

The hotel was good, mainly due to its location. It was right on the beach, and Adi seemed to like the water with some apprehensions. He loved the hotel lobby where he used to go crazy. I was in the water everyday. We could walk to the nice shops and restaurants. We ate mostly pizza and a nice Indian restaurant called Guru. It was a good break.

Two bummers:
1. Adi got diarrhea on the last day.
2. I could never see the sunrise due to clouds on the horizon. I woke up everyday before sunrise.
