I honestly can’t remember the last vacation I've had... vacation to me means
getting on a plane to a place other than Georgia. However, ya girl forgot to
let you all know that I took a mini vacation a few months ago if you follow
me on Instagram, you know. This trip was very unexpected and when I first
got the notification, I was extremely excited, however, once we inched closer
to the date, I was a complete mess and wondered if I made the right decision. This
would be my first time traveling with a group of people that I’ve never
travelled with and you know you can’t travel with everyone. I knew most
of them through performing together but I’d also be meeting another person for
the first time.
Fortunately, for all of us this totally worked out. It was
like we’d been knowing each other forever. There were countless moments where I
was reminded that I was at the right place, at the right time, and with the
right people. Although this trip was very short (2 days) it was exactly what I
needed. Miami is a place I can visit every year and not be tired or disappointed. For this
trip we rented 2 Airbnb’s which were the epitome of ole school Miami... cocaine
white furniture and included a view of the ocean.

Because we took one of the earliest flights ever our room
wasn’t ready when we arrived, but that meant we could start exploring early.
Our first stop was to Yard Bird and the foodie in me was beyond excited I
actually recommended most of the restaurants during the trip. Because we
didn’t have a reservation, we opted to sit outside and soak in the sun. We all
ordered something different and totally indulged. If you ever go to Yard Bird you have to get their fried chicken... trust me it is definitely in my top 3, and just so you know DC will be getting a location soon.

| Sooo good |
Unfortunately for me,
after having brunch and stopping at the infamous Wet Willys for a drink I couldn’t
get my ear to pop which resulted in me being sick AKA puking in a random
alley-way. There was no way that I was missing a full day of a 2-day trip, so
I headed back to the room showered and slept for a bit, woke up refreshed ears
popped and ready to party!!! Day one
ended with us going out for food and heading out to dance.

The next morning, we got up and decided to have a small breakfast
at the hotel. Our plan for the day included going to Wynwood to check out
the art district. We literally spent all day enjoying Wynwood and I totally recommend
that you visit this area.

After bar hopping and a quick trip to the liquor store, we
headed back to the room. The room festivities included a dance contest,
drinking games, and a photo shoot featuring Jam’s Top Model (JAM is the group that I perform with, you should totally check us out @jamtherevue). Can I just tell
you, I had sooo much fun. I never would have thought that a mini-vacation was what I needed but it was definitely on time. Until next time Miami (hopefully September 2020).
