They had a patio, an overly-loud Italian server, and some pictures of food out front. That was enough to convince us, though, so we got a table. Fabio the server told us they were having happy hour, so it was two-for-ones on all drinks, and of course we could take them with us to the beach. We both ordered mojitos, and the THIS happened:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a title=\"brunch on ocean drive (267\/365) by the queen of subtle, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/queen_of_subtle\/6182908304\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6174\/6182908304_b4d463fd45.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"brunch on ocean drive (267\/365)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Yes, they were almost the size of Matt&#8217;s head.

Fabio was very disappointed that we didn&#8217;t want to partake in the two-for-ones (as were we), but we had to get to the airport. We went back to the hotel, got our bags, and brought our ticket to the valet.<\/p>\n<p>The valet took FOREVER. We didn&#8217;t leave a ton of extra time to get to the airport, so we were starting to worry. By the time he arrived, we were cutting it really close. We threw everything in the car and sped off toward Fort Lauderdale, because we were flying out of there instead of Miami. We were running so late we didn&#8217;t even have time to gas up the rental car. It was expensive, but ended up being worth it since we barely made our flight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The morning came way too early, and our heads hurt.
