Florida

Alhumdulillah I have been blessed with really cool parents.  I love their spontaneity!  Everyone calls my driveway a dealership lot, but the truth is...it was beginning to look more like a junk yard.  Thus the search for recycling cars began!  Two weeks ago dad worked some magic and got one hell of a deal on a 2003 Civic and got rid of one of the older cars w/a ton of miles on it!  In doing so, he came across an ad for a car for sale in Florida and after talking to the guy he jumped on the deal!  So, instead of letting him fly out there and drive back by his lonesome, my mom and I, being the team players we are, insisted on tagging along;-)  We left Thursday morning, did the car deal, and went to visit some old friends.  On Thursday night, Friday, and Sat Morning we managed to see Boca Raton, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.  I am absolutely in love!  I fell head over heals for the Ocean and the Sunshine! 

Congrats dad, you've really outdown yourself this time!

"As I continued to A1A...Beachfront Avenue!" So that's what he was talking about...it's an actual street!

Bienvenidos a Miami!

Isn't next week Mother's Day? No...everyday is Mother's Day!

West Palm Beach!

Look at the guy waddling along in the sunshine!

Pathetic! I thought I woulda had a better tan after laying out for an hour and a half!

If only I had another day, sigh!

Subhanallah!

The Miami Heat won!

 

After this trip I realized I wanna live on the ocean!  Just by going into the waves you feel the tremendous power of the ocean and how it can throw you around like you're a mosquito!  Then, you contemplate the power of AllahSWT...unreal!  I wanna be close to nature where I will have that constant reminder.  It will be my own little piece of heaven on earth inshallah.
