Florida

Every year Rick and I go to his Private Practice Physical Therapy (PPS) Conference. This year it was in Orlando. Meg and Jeremy, once again, were nice enough to babysit our kids so we could get away. I love this trip because Rick is in classes all day and I have time to myself to do whatever I want. These days all I want to do is RELAX, and that is exactly what I did. Every morning I would go for a run and then I would go lay by the pool, read my book and listen to my Ipod. Rick would bring me lunch every afternoon by the pool on his lunch break. At night, we would join Rick's business partners for dinner. One night we went to cirque duce soleil (however you spell it). It was such an amazing show. I couldn't believe how talented they were. Universal Studios opened the park just for our conference one night. We had fun dancing, going on rides, and enjoyed having the whole park to ourselves. I wish they would have done the same with Epcot. We went there on Saturday, and there were a ton of people. We also took a boat ride from our hotel over to a little island for a romantic italian dinner. It was nice until they started singing opera -- Rick made it clear we didn't want them to come to our little table!

This was my view while laying out by the pool.

Rick and Mark on the bongos!

We went on an airboat ride through this amazing swamp. We ended up in a forest of huge tall trees everywhere.

I thought he was going to jump in our boat and eat us!

Our rental car was tiny, so somone always had to squeeze into the back. Mark and Georgia seemed to enjoy the tight quarters!
