Just over a month later we returned to Miami Beach, this time without the kids, to celebrate Rose's birthday. Several of her friends flew in from as far away as San Francisco and Hawaii!!!

Unfortunately the trip didn't start well. About 15 minutes before boarding they announced there was a fire at the local FAA center and that there is a local ground stop. Turns out it was the fire caused by the angry/crazy technician at the Aurora facility. Lily, Rose and I did eventually get to Miami about 10 hours later than originally planned by Sylvia and Julie didn't get there until the following day!
