I have coworkers that know how to let loose, though, so it was all good.

We stayed at a giant golf resort with fancy toilet paper.

There was a big industry conference.

It’s one of our most important events of the year.

I had fun, despite the late nights and way-too-early mornings.

Luckily, we had lots of folks around to help things go smoothly.

We hosted an ’80s-themed party.

I even got to do a little bit of sight-seeing.

Sunday brunch in the Animal Kingdom — I could’ve stayed a while longer.

One of the best things about Florida is all of the gigantic birds that are everywhere.

I went to Downtown Disney and drank tequila.

The crowds weren’t nearly as annoying as I expected, but it was after most kids’ bedtimes.

I bought some silly gifts for my niece.

On my last day in Florida, I had 15 minutes to myself to enjoy the hot tub.
![feet in the hot tub](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4350497571_012752d0e5.jpg)
It was sunny, but windy and about 50°. I braved it, though, and when I went back inside I was a little pink! So it was well worth it.

I came home in time for Valentine’s Day. Jason surprised me with a pearl necklace!

Jason and I went to see the Minnesota Wild kick the Vancouver Canucks’ butts.

It was my first live hockey game.
![hockey players fighting](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4360876634_5e3d9af871.jpg)
Some of the players were really into fighting! So that’s fun.

Add in a few days of work, and this is how it has come to be February 18th already.
