Dear Oli,

Today Dad decided that he wanted to have a Guys Day Out. I'm pretty sure Mom told him to. He doesn't like hanging out with us.

Mikey wasn't in his room though. He was at Alice's, I assumed.

Dad didn't seem to care, however. I guess he was relieved to not have to spend time with BOTH of us.

So we went into the car and he asked me what I wanted to do.

My answer was fast.

"I want to go see Vizcaya."

"Haven't you been there?"

"No. Because you never took me there!" I answered back, a little rudely.

He sighed. "Fine. I guess we can take the new express lanes."

I smiled.

Villa Vizcaya is an old (basically palace) house that was converted into a museum. It's located in Miami near Coconut Grove which is not too far from where we live. It's mainly a tourist attraction, and that's why I'd never gone. It's kind of like those people who grew up in New York and never saw the Statue of Liberty. It's pretty lame.

So we pulled in and it was beautiful. There was a nice little forest-y entrance area, then you park your car, then there's a pedestrian path that takes you up to where you get your tickets.

Let me just add that the guy at the ticket counter was EXTREMELY HOT. OMG.

Luckily, Dad did the talking so I didn't have to stutter in front of the sexy beast :P >.<

The house itself was magnificent from the outside, and the inside was GORGEOUS. Different pieces from different parts of the world all in one mansion. There was even two table legs that dated from like 50 B.C.! It was sooooo amazing!

And the gardens outside were awesome! There were so many. And lots of fountains. And even a little theater garden.

There was a boat dock, and a stationary party-boat-thing.

Why would someone turn that place into a museum?

I would have kept it.

And thrown wild parties.

And I would invite Frank.

And he would totally love me because I would be rich.

I wish.

I want to live there.

So I made Dad walk with me all around the large villa, even though he was tired.

Then he took me out to lunch at some random seafood place near the beach, and it was really yummy.

Then we went to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Let me just take a moment to just think about the hotness of Captain America and Bucky.

Especially Bucky. Mmm ;)

They're both so sexy!

OMG!

It was the best thing ever!

And the movie was good too.

So, even though I wanted to stalk Frank today, I guess it wasn't too bad having a Guy's Day Out.

Well, I'm tired now.

Goodnight Oli.

XO,

G
