Les Mis

The amazing Ohio theater was once again calling my name, this time for Les Miserables. Scottie scored some free tickets for us, but then had to be on call:( at the hospital all night long. He suggested I still go and bring along a friend, so Kimberly came with me. We got all dolled up and had a fun girl's night out!
Here we are inside the theater, ready, and excited to see the show!


Our glamor shot

All in all I thought the show was good. I told Scottie it was just alright for me and then he said I had been watching too much American Idol because that is what Randy always says! LOL.

It was my 4th time seeing the show, so I was probably too critical. Some of my favorite things were the stage props, the special effects, the song "Can you Hear the People Sing", and that Cosette was from BYU. It was a fun night out, and I am still blown away with the beauty of the Ohio Theater every time that I go!

Spring Break 2011

HOLLYWOOD, Florida!!!
For Spring Break Scottie and I scored really big and got to stay at my co-worker's condo right on Hollywood Beach for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally right on the beach...like walk out the door and you are on the beach!!! It was so amazing, and we had a fun vacation together enjoying the break from winter.
Monday- we went golfing, and we couldn't get over the fact that we were golfing in February!!!

I was super proud of my hit above. I got stuck in the sand trap and was able to successfully get out of it:)

Scottie Teeing Off!

We splurged and got a golf cart instead of walking. Hoot Hooot!
After golf we went to the beach and then out to eat at a highly recommended place, called Le Tub. It is the #1 place to eat a burger before you die (I think Opera gave it that ranking)

Here we are! I seriously loved this place. I felt like I was at Disneyland with how it was decorated. The best part was that it was right on the pier and you could feed angel fish while you ate. I think they claimed most of my dinner LOL.

Me with the menu. We got the famous burgers of course.

Yes those are toilets...they decorated with Tubs and toilets...hence the name Le Tub.

I woke up to watch the sunrise and this is how I saw my sweetie sleeping. It was too cute not to take a picture of. I think he may kill me though for posting it J/K.
Tuesday- We decided to head south for the day and went to Key West. Key West was our
favorite part of vacation. We beach bummed, snorkeled, watched the sun set celebration, and ate at a sea food buffet.

We had an amazing experience snorkeling and had over 100 fish eating out of our hands. *Tip use apples and bananas...the fish can't resist them! After we were beached out we rushed off to the...Sunset Celebration.

The sunset celebration was so fun! Every night people (thousands) gather together to watch the sun go down. There were street vendors and performers and we just loved the fact that after the sunset everyone clapped!
Notice the sailboat in the distance between us.
We had dinner at the locals favorite place called Captain Mario's Seafood Feast

An older couple we sat by did the nicest thing for us and secretly picked up our tab. When we asked for our check our waiter said "sorry you can't do that because the couple sitting next to you already paid for you when they left." Scottie and I were so touched and decided we are going to pay it forward one day...for some young couple so in love!

Samples of our seafood feast!

Wednesday- We had a beach day flying kites and bogey boarding.

Thursday- We got up and went to Gator Park at the Everglades!!! It was so cool because we saw real live alligators in the wild.
Here is our airboat guide. Believe me she was hard core!

Here is the first alligator that we saw...She had babies too. Did you know alligators have 30-50 babies at a time (only 3-5 live to adulthood though)! We saw over 20 babies.

Here are 2 of the babies

Here was the second alligator that we saw. Cool pic huh?

You got to love that Scottie wore his Gator shirt!

After the airboat tour we got to watch alligator wrestling. The guide was putting his hand in the gators mouth (they are blind in the front)!!!!!!!!!!!!

We decided to fork over the $$$doe $$$and paid to hold the alligator.
Friday- We chilled on the beach, went to the conservatory, and ate on the boardwalk.

I loved this picture of us!
Fun beach pictures. I love Scottie for being so willing to take them all with me!!!


Scottie said this one by the palm trees would be our album cover if we had a band. LOL that made me laugh so I had to include it!
Well there you have it. That was our Spring Break 2011 in a nut shell. We are well rested and ready for what ever life is going to throw at us next!
