Fort Lauderdale, Florida - October 2015





October of 2015 took us to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the wedding of Bryan's former roommates - Brett and Amy. Neither of us had been to Fort Lauderdale before, and we were looking forward to the long weekend with so many friends from Colorado.




We stayed at the Hilton that was about 1/2 mile from the beach and we had the most incredible view from our hotel room. On our first afternoon there, we brought some beers up from the bar and sat on the patio enjoying our view. Later that day, we walked to the beach where Brett and Amy held their 'rehearsal dinner'. Because they were getting married on a boat (yup, you read that right), they didn't need a traditional rehearsal so brought everyone to the beach instead. How can you beat that?

The next day was the big day! Our hotel also happened to have the dock for the boat, which is where all of the fun would take place. We had four hours on board this amazing yacht while we had dinner, dancing, drinks and made our way around Fort Lauderdale! A lot of shenanigans ensued - of course.





The next day, several of us from Denver had the same flight back to Denver which was late at night, so we had the day to explore. Exploring for us, meant bar hopping on the beach. We had to kick the hangover by just continuing to drink! One drink we enjoyed most of the weekend was Yuengling, a beer that cannot be found west of the Mississippi......we got our fair share!

Along the way, we found some other great bars, made some new friends, and enjoyed the beautiful weather! It was a long weekend of cocktails, a few too many, but a weekend we'll never forget!
