We were able to spend this day with my sister, brother-in-law, and niece. We first stopped at Total Wine (http://totalwine.com) to see their large collection of wines and beer and settled on trying Key West beer (which I would say is comparable to Blue Moon). Then we headed towards Little Havana and lunch at Versailles. I got the Chicken and Yellow Rice Imperial, which has mayonnaise, peas, pimento, and a hard boiled egg. Not too bad.

We then went to Las Olas (http://lasolasboulevard.com) and ate at the Wild East Bistro (http://www.lasolasboulevard.com/new/dining/wildeast.htm). We enjoyed dinner by the canal, and my firecracker noodles and crab wonton were great. Matt and our brother-in-law, Jason, had some fun with their photography, we did some window shopping, and picked up some key lime cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory.
