Lake Martin

Our vacation destination for 2013 is Lake Martin, Alabama. We are staying in a beautiful Bolton Cove Lake house with a great view that is breath taking.

This house is big and spacious enough for all 23 of us,

The pool is just right next door and I'm thankful because the kids are summer water babies

and all though the guys haven't had the best of luck catching fish, they sure have enjoyed the opportunity

and the kids are having fun tubing out on the lake.....

more to follow.........

The Monkeys

Haven's second dance recital was themed "wild about dance", and I guess by the title you can figureout it was about animals in the wild. Bravo to the girls they did a great job!

Boston's Water Way

We wanted to ride this.

but this is what we had
ride.

And on our way we saw this.......

Then when we got there we did this.....

We wanted to do some shopping, but there weren't any stores built yet. (Thanks Bob, even though you were wrong about the shopping we still had a great time).

Boston part 2

Dunkin' Donuts was first started in Boston, and there is a location on every block. Thank goodness, because we never had to walk to far to get our stat coffee, and sweets!

Trip to Boston

I had the opportunity to attend NTI's (National Teaching Institute) Critical Care conference held in the great city of Boston last week. This makes my second trip to NTI, the first was in 2009 when it was held in New Orleans. After attending the first conference I decided to continue my education and obtained my BSN. I love Nursing, it is my true calling in life, and I enjoy being surrounded by such great and inspirational people. I was joined by some amazing girls and I wouldn't have wanted to experience it without them; Thanks Amanda, Ashley, and Tiffany for a great time. I will try to post the highlights of our trip, because there were many great memories and there's no way I can post them all. This was my first time flying, so I'm glad I had a test run before China.

We experienced some turbulence but my friends got me through it. Ashley and Tiffany are traveling experts, and Amanda has no shame in holding my hand while out in public!!!
We stayed in a beautiful, Luxury hotel "The Langham" which was very nice (and expensive) but worth it.

The Bellman "Bob" even gave Amanda directions

and the best part, right before bed every night they came by to turn the beds down and deliver lots of chocolate!!
