School started & life didn't slow down for us, it just picked up! The second week of school, Chris and I headed to Miami for a big work meeting for him (and the wives). This is a super rare opportunity where the company has spouses involved & are strongly encouraged to attend. Thankfully, my mom is retired this year and was willing to watch our crazy kids while we headed south! Destination...the super glitzed & gaudy Trump Doral in Miami.
There was a full two day of meetings (where the spouses actually attend most meetings and/or events) and not a lot of time for rest! I kind of felt like I was back in "work" mode with waking up early for work breakfasts & sitting through meetings in "business casual" attire. Although it wasn't a true vacation, we enjoyed some kid-free hours & even had some fun. Doesn't this gala picture remind you of our prom picture about fifteen years ago?!
The last day, everybody that was attending got to pick a fun excursion to go on: Segway tours, catamaran rides, golfing, & more. I was super excited for our pick: riding on an airboat through the Everglades. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I loved every minute. We also took a tour & learned more about this beautiful place and saw lots of alligators. And even held them...
I chose to hold the tiniest alligator... (no way, am I holding anything bigger!)
Thankfully, we had one last day in Miami to do nothing before we returned home. We sat by the pool, enjoyed the beautiful sunshine, & got one last date night in before returning home to our sweet crew!
Good-bye Miami!
