Vacation Highlights
A couple of days ago, Cory was telling one of our coworkers about our vacation. She asked him what the best part of vacation was.
At the time, he couldn't think of a good answer. I mean, he saw three spring training ballparks. He watched the Cardinals win twice (and tie once), he got to go to five amusement parks he'd never been to. He touched a dolphin's dorsal fin (cool), petted a sting ray (slimy), and hand-fed a Lory (beware the poop).
Later that night, he came up with his answer. Baseball? nope. Roller coasters? not even close. Apparently, the best part of his vacation was the sweet pair of dress shoes that he found at the outlet mall for just $30.
For me, the best part (other than actually getting seven consecutive days off from work and spending them with Cory) was seeing Jason and Peter. I hadn't seen them in years. In fact, we'd tried to figure out how long it had been, and we firgured it must have been about six years.
Back in Kirksville, we used to be inseperable. Then Jason got a job in Iowa city, and even though they were only three hours away, I only saw them a few times after that. Now, they live in Jupiter, Florida, where Peter works for a jeweler and Jason is the general manager of a beautiful hotel. They have a gorgeous home and are living the good life. Their hospitality was priceless.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time with them... just dinner and cocktails one night and a baseball game with Jason the next afternoon. I do, however, have pictures!
Cory took this picture at Roger Dean Stadium as the Cardinals played the Washington Nationals. That's me (obviously) with Jason, who was hosting a client party in one of the luxury suites.
Here's me with Peter, on their Lanai. I think he's smiling that way because he was considering tossing me into the pool.
Me with the boys, in front of Jason's favorite potted palm (behind Pete's shoulder). I really need a haircut.
My Boys. Again with the palm.
Had to use the self-timer on the camera for this one. We're on vacation! Wheee!!!!!
