Cayman Islands

Each year, my company takes a trip somewhere to show appreciation to the top performers.. This year.. I GOT TO GO!!!! So, Terry and I headed out to the Cayman Islands for 5 WHOLE DAYS!!

Imagine how awesome it is to walk out of your hotel and this is what you get to see. ---->
NOT only that, but we were wearing these awesome green bracelets that got us free local rum drinks, water and soda at any of the hotel bars!!

We started out with a change of clothes and a trip to the beach.. enjoying the chilly water and the sand in the toes... We had a great time walking around... it was early afternoon when we got there, so we headed back to the room to get ready for the "all company dinner." Dinner was on the pool deck and they closed it to everyone but ADS. AWESOME!!!

We went to a Turtle Farm on the opposite side of the island... Terry and animals is always an odd combination. He finds a way to make me laugh almost anywhere!!

We took a catamaran ride a few miles out and snorkeled on a reef, we swam with sting rays, we dined at an awesome restaurant with some friends, all in all, a great time was had! It was kind of bittersweet to go home, but we did miss the kids! )ie- the three cats).

So, we headed back and went back to real life..
Here are some more photos...

It Snowed...

{Snow Day}

Again, the snow fell during the night and well into the day covering the cars and sidewalks in about 4" of fresh white powder. It was amazingly beautiful, cold, but beautiful.

Snow at my office window..
