BadMark is "GOIN TO MIAMI"

Enjoy the pics from my latest warm weather trip to South Beach!
BadMark in the cab on his way back to Minneapolis. Awesome trip...enjoy the pics!
Striaght off the plane and out to lunch at Big Pink on Collins Avenue. Fantastic club sandwich.
Let's just jump right to important pics shall we. The boys at the world famous Clevelander bar enjoyed the making of this shot.
Mine is the big one on the end.
The view from the 6th floor pool of our fabulous condo. Gorgeous at night with the Miami skyline.
We just can't thank Kellie enough for the first-class accomodations.
The view from our 30th floor balcony.
A balcony overlooking the ocean and a Miller Lite...I imagine this is quite close to what Heaven is like.
Our fabulous perch high atop the Yacht Club.
Sure Kellie....Happy New Year to you too.
Monty the cat....official resident and mascot for Monty's seaside bar...another BadMark recommendation for where to get sauced in Miami.
Yes Botina at Monty's took fabulous care of us with some free shots "for the road."
On our walk home from Monty's bar we stumbled across this little gem. Ever wonder what happened to Mark's ex-girlfriend Rebecca?.......well he threw her off the roof of this building in 1998! Mystery solved.
Puppies and drunks are a cute combination.
As long as we have puppies, Ashlee will never have to drink her Miller Lites alone.
Do we have to go out? Alright, on tap for tonight...dinner at The Tides Hotel and cocktails at The Clevelander.
Me and Kellie's Christmas card for 2007.
Yup, everything is rolling along just fine at the world famous Clevelander nightclub on South Beach.
.......and we're off and running with Miami-Dade's finest.
Oscar took care of us all weekend with fresh sandwiches and cold Miller Lites. Gracias Oscar! You saved our lives.
Time to get up Kellie.....it's Miller time!
Is that what this thing under my neck is supposed to be used for?
Yup, its 8:30 am and Kellie is ready to attack the day. (With a cold Miller Lite for "breakfast")
After our 3 days at the condo we needed new accomodations.....so of course we checked in to the fantastic Fountainebleau hotel. (Formerly the Fountanebleau Hilton. This is BadMark's third stay at this property....highly recommended)
A quick oceanside song and dance from Ms. Ashlee.
Our boardwalk on the beach. We spent many a long hour meandering up and down this path.
Of course we arranged for our own private beach. It wasn't cheap, but BadMark can't have a bunch of noisey children disturbing his sunbathing.
BadMark gets his feet wet in the sweet salty water of the Atlantic ocean. (with a Codder)
We did have to dodge the occaisonal sun shower...but not to worry....
Oh my God! What a day. The view from our perch at the glorious Fountanebleau pool.
Ahhh, after five minutes the sun is back out.
We enjoyed some tropical cocktails down the boardwalk at the Cadillac Hotel. Very nice.
BadMark enjoys a tasty Codder before leaving. The entire trip received a full thumbs up!
Ahhh, winding down. Me and Ash await our transport to the airport. (We're actually "winding up" for the flight!)
