Welcome to Miami. Pardon our driving, we're reloading.

After a bit of work in the week, I headed to Miami for Angie's birthday. I got a bit of a late start and got to Miami just as traffic and the rain started to pick up. As is typical, the torrential downpour literally only seemed to have lasted the time it took me to get out of the truck, find the right building, and get inside. After meeting up with Angie and being introduced to a dozen or so workmates, we headed towards South Beach for happy hour. At first we were supposed to meet some folks at a place called 'Duos' but saw that there were literally only two customers in the whole place. I took a look at the GPS to find something else nearby and saw that there was a brewery/restaurant less than a half mile away, the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant. I always prefer micro-brews to the generic domestics, so we headed there. After a meal we headed back to the UofM campus residences where her suitemates had another small surprise party waiting. We watched Beerfest before playing some board game for a while. I was a bit tired after driving much of the day and decided to turn in relatively early.
