Firm Retreat

I look forward to Lincoln's annual firm retreat every year. It is seriously amazing. They treat us like rock stars. Is it always at a resort, and the food and entertainment is always incredible.

Although, this year it was not as relaxing with a baby around. The poor girl got her first cold, so to be honest we were up all night for the couple of nights we were there. BUT we still had a great time.

Highlights of the trip include the "treat room." It was a room filled with every kind of treat you could imagine. From chips to candy bars and everything in between. Then they had bags for you to take whatever you wanted---and believe you me, we did take whatever we wanted.... We were like kids in a candy store--a free candy store that is.

The resort was beautiful.

They also took us to Sea World! It was fantastic. We had our own behind the scenes tour.

We got to see the seals and even pet the sharks

(PS has anyone read the book Unbroken? I was reading it on the trip and visiting and petting the sharks just made that book way too realistic.)

Not pictured were Laura and Logan and company, who we also made sure to visit while we were in town.
We love our annual trip to California.

how fun!! that's wonderful that lincoln's firm treats their company so well :) And while i can imagine it wasn't quite as relaxing as it has been in the past, sharing those experiences with your little girl had to have been so sweet! The photos you captured of her smiles are ADORABLE :) and i LOVE seaworld! Looks like you had a great time!
