Ft Lauderdale Florida

A cruise ship docked, loved the water slide at the back

The same ship, so big it barely fit into my camera

This yacht was docked outside our hotel room, we were right on the water front.

The Region 3 PTA Trio (Davis School District)

My PTA friends from Utah County

The Utah PTA was well represented at National Convention

Enjoying our first night in Ft. Lauderdale, dinner with my friends.

Taking a water taxi ride to dinner, saw some very large and expensive homes, Ft. Lauderdale/water front style.

Enjoying a walk along the beach, the rain stopped for a couple of hours so we could go

The 6 of us fondly became known as "The PTA Peeps"

Don't know who the runner is, just wanted a picture of the ocean, and the 2 different colors of blue.

Another yacht docked across from our hotel.


Last week I went to Ft. Lauderdale for 4 1/2 days to the National PTA Convention. It was my first time to the East Coast, first time to Florida. It was as people said muggy, muggy, muggy, and it rained everyday, somedays longer than others. I haven't experience humidity like that in my life, it was not fun. The hotel I stayed in with my other PTA friends was right on the waterway. We were surrounded by very large yachts on the backside of the hotel, the front side, our view, was the intercoastal highway. We didn't have too much opporuntity to sight see because of the convention, it took almost a full day to travel there. We did see a little of the city, the highlight though was going to the ocean and enjoying the sound of the waves crashing along the shore. We found a resturant that we liked, we ate there twice, it was across the street from the ocean, so we got to continue and enjoy the view as we ate dinner in our rocking table with benches. Just like a rocking horse, it was really cool. I did have a good time, its always fun to bond with the women that I will spend the next 2 years working with on the State level. Robert was home alone while I was gone, I took Scott to his cousin's in Idaho before I left and Robert picked him the night before I got home. Side note: Robert's back is still bothering him, not as bad as a couple of weeks ago. He has been going to a Chiropractor and getting adjustments, his hips are out of alignments, thus causing the pain.
