You Can't Pick Your Family


About 40 miles from my Grandma's house in Miami is Hollywood Beach, a funky little beach town my Great Aunt Susan calls home. A few years back my Aunt Susan purchased this eight bedroom beach front hotel {she renovated & currently occupies the entire upper level} which is mostly a place where her family and friends come to gather rather than  being an actual functioning hotel. Summer time in Florida is a mixture between sweltering heat, humidity and random down pour tropical storms. We didn't let a little rain stop us from enjoying swimming in the ocean and my cousin James and I couldn't help but get into our bathing suits for a little midnight escapade and dance along the strand in the warm rain. Even though the entire clan couldn't be there this trip, whenever there is any gathering with my family there is never a dull moment. One of my cousins once said, "You can't pick your family" and in my case, I couldn't have picked a better one.
