Disney World

The first week of April I was lucky enough to attend a four day work conference at Disney World.  I went with my co-worker/friend Jess and we left our husbands (and her son) at home!  Mark was taking care of his mom after her hip surgery and I was having an awesome, I mean boring, time in Florida!

Jess and I arrived early on Tuesday and had all day to sit out in the sun and just enjoy our resort.  Tuesday night we went to the Magic Kingdom, and has so much fun riding rides and just enjoying Disney.  We even managed to catch a parade and see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and a few other characters.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we had conference sessions all day long, and like good conference attendees we actually went to almost all of them.  But in the evenings we were able to get away from the resort and spend more time exploring Disney and enjoying delicious food.  We went to the Disney Boardwalk one night and to Downtown Disney two nights.  Our favorite places to eat were Wolfgang Puck,  House of Blues and Ghirardelli

Saturday, sadly we had conference sessions all morning and then had to leave and catch our flight pretty much as soon as it was over.  We did steal 30 minutes in the sun between the end of the sessions and the shuttle to the airport.

It was such a fun week with Jess and a good reminder of why we do the work that we do.  I came back feeling re-energized and with a new commitment to my job and the transplant population!
