Our Second Date

They enjoyed the exquisite Argentina cuisine, followed by an enjoyable game at the FTX Arena to watch the Miami Heat, Curtis’s favorite basketball team, against the Cavaliers and witnessed their victory. The evening continued as they made their way back to the Bayside Marketplace to sail aboard the Fiesta Cruises of Miami to enjoy the remainder of the evening with the beautiful view of the Miami evening skyline and a little dancing from the DJ playing enjoyable music.
