Pina Colada

Brad had his vendor showcase on Friday morning too. After the showcase was over we had to check out of our room but then we spent a few hours by the pool before we had to head to the airport. 

It was such a warm, sunny trip!  

But by the end we were missing our kids.   

 

Water Slides & Pool Time

Our 2nd night in Orlando we moved to a different hotel. This is where the convention was. It was a beautiful hotel and it had an awesome pool with some fun water slides.   

Jenny lives about an hour away and Jessi is about a three hour drive.  She drove to Jenny's house and then the drove up with their kids.  We spent the day hanging out by the pool until I had to help Brad with his vendor showcase. 

It was fun playing with nephews and niece but it made me wish my kids were there too.  Maybe next time. 

George and I just finished going down these waterslides.  I think he won. 

Warm & Sunny

Brad had a convention for work and I got to tag along with him. Thankfully both sets of grandparents were willing to manage the house while we were gone. The convention was in Florida about the furthest distance from Seattle, which makes for a very long flight. 

I was looking forward to uninterrupted time to read a book.  The good news is I mostly finished the book.  The bad news is Brad and I weren't sitting next to each other.  Instead I sat between a couple, one of which was a man who was snoring and stinky.  Needless to say I was so happy to have the flight over with. 

We checked into our hotel then went to Bahama Breeze for dinner. 

 

My door

I forgot the picture of my door. So nicely decorated for my 40th birthday! 

Birthday Snowshoe

Last year I organized a snowshoe adventure with some of my girlfriends. It happened to be around my birthday so I declared, a year ago, that I would do it again on my 40th!  And we did. 

There were a lot of dear friends who couldn't make it but it was still a wonderful group of ladies.  I am so blessed to call them my friends. 

Getting ready. 

Lindsey, Abby, Melissa, Me, Rachael, Erin and Diana

Heather (was taking the picture)

They even had a birthday treat for me half way through our trek. 

Diana lives at the pass and she opened her home to us.  It was wonderful! 

Peter Rabbit

After our birthday celebration we went to Andrew's birthday party. It was a busy day. Thankfully this birthday party included a movie. We saw Peter Rabbit and somehow I did not fall asleep. It was a cute one. 

Red Robin

I am so thankful we were able to celebrate my mom's birthday too. We met the day before our birthdays after basketball games. Red Robin was the winner. (My mom loves a free burger...and I do too).  We haven't been here in a very long time so the kids all enjoyed it.
