Sunday Funday! Pools, storms and a Miami DJ.

After the late night on Saturday, Sunday was a slow wake up, didn't make it to the pool until after lunch, lucky for me I have friends who get up early and they snagged a chair in the sun for me.

If possible, it was even windier than yesterday (I didn't know it was possible really) but it kept the heat down. There were also a series of clouds, but nothing too major overall. Had a few adult beverages, read some magazines and listened to tunes on the ipod. It was a pretty nice day - we participated in the Classic Rock trivia contest at the pool, (18/20) but didn't win unfortunately! Decided it was time to head back to the room, and when sitting out on the balcony about 30 minutes later, this monster of a storm was headed right towards us.

Now, the balcony we are in has a big overhang for the deck above, so it's pretty sheltered overall, but I even got a little damp from that one!

Headed downstairs for some people watching about 530pm and met some nice people at Crush, which is adjacent to the Martini Bar. They were all from the DC area and worked at various government agencies, including the Library of Congress, which was interesting to hear about.

About 730 we headed for Blu and dinner - our first error this evening. The place was packed and we barely got a table. Donovan wasn't available so we sat with another waiter named John who was also good. I had French onion soup, caesar salad, an orzo pasta with chicken and After 8 ice cream for dessert (they did manage to keep some for us from the previous day)

Back to the Martini Bar for some entertainment, and there was going to be a "Miami DJ" party there at 1115pm, so we decided to hang around and see what that was all about. We had primo seats for people watching.

I have to say, I was surpised at how much fun it was at the dance party! The DJ was very good and he had a drummer with him - they played for at least 75 minutes and were still going when we left at 1230am. The bartenders put on quite a flare show as well - flipping cans and bottles around to the drumbeat, which made for a fun experience. I have some pictures to check out, once I can get them on the ipad.....!

Off to bed, St Thomas was tomorrow and we wanted to get our beauty sleep!
