They Call Her Flipper

Look at my fins!

KERF UPLOAD36BlogKERF UPLOAD35BlogIMG_2668Blog

We had lots of fun playing by the pool this afternoon. It was so warm!!

IMG_2674Blog

Finally got into our room, showered up. Boy did it feel nice to put on mascara again!

I ate an orange slice Karen had packed for nourishment.

IMG_2677Blog

We dressed ourselves up for the Great Harvest welcome gala – a taco feast under the stars!

I had two glasses of white wine (a Chard and a Pinot Grigio) throughout the night. It would have been so easy to drink 5. Glad I stuck to 2!

IMG_2711BlogIMG_2743BlogIMG_2749Blog

There were stations set up for make-your-own tacos

IMG_2726BlogIMG_2727BlogIMG_2724BlogIMG_2725Blog

As well as made-to-order quesadillas.

IMG_2718Blog

And a big salad bar

IMG_2728BlogIMG_2729Blog

I had a chicken taco with all the fixins and a quesadilla plus a side of salad

IMG_2733BlogIMG_2736Blog

For dessert – churros! I split one with Karen.

IMG_2745BlogIMG_2746Blog

Mucho aqua for dessert!

IMG_2704Blog

The conference starts bright and early tomorrow morning with breakfast at 6:45. I’m here blogging and getting ready for 8 hours – and Matt is out at some bar! That crazy guy.

Nite!

    So jealous you’re in FL right now, looks beautiful down there. The beach would be a dream for me with all the seashells! I would just run out with a big bucket to bring them home! I love the cover up you wore to the pool and the cute dress tonight. Where did you get both of them? Thanks!

    I’m so glad to see that Karen is with you in FL and it seems like she’s having a good time and still has a good appetite. It makes my heart ache a little because my lovely Aunt just passed away last year from breast cancer and I saw the pain she went through. I’m so glad to see that Karen is doing well and that she has you both by her side =)
