We're in Miami right now. We're staying for three weeks at an airbnb place before Dragon Con. Julia is having remarkable success early on with the help of her wonderful aunts (her mother's cousin and spouse) who have given her several fantastic networking leads, as well as an excellent lead Julia picked up herself at the Florida Librarian's Conference a few months ago.
We have spent a lot of time at the beach, specifically South Beach since there aren't a lot of places to walk where we current are. Once a week we do laundry while I drop Julia off to get some beach time. She is also slowly learning about SQL and Wikipedia as a way to bolster her resume experience. I am very proud of her because she has now finished classes, especially a very difficult Cataloging class in her final summer semester. Due to some nonsense with her portfolio, she won't get her actual degree until December.
On the way down here, we spent some time at St. Augustine, and really enjoyed it. Julia enjoyed the forts and the Lightner Museum. We also went to Jekyll Island for our second anniversary and it was quite lovely. We enjoy traveling together and hope to do it as much as possible. Still, things are somewhat tight due to the move and emergency dental work. We'll see if we can still stay at Dragon Con this year depending on how things go the next two weeks, but we are both looking forward to heading back to Atlanta in a short period of time. But as time goes on, it looks more and more like Miami was indeed the right decision.
