MOPS Convention

No this is not a place where moms get together all swap cleaning secrets.....it is a place for moms though. I have been involved with MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) for a few years now. I was lucky enough to travel with a few friends from Cornerstone to Orlando for four days. The nice part was...NO KIDS!

We got stay at a beautiful hotel, we ate HOT meals without being interrupted by children, we went to Disney World with out entering Fataseyland and best of all we had no sleep but this was not because of our kids....we just had fun staying up late with the girls.

Kelley, Alison, Sheree & Erin enjoying a great seminar.....we laughed a lot!
A fun thing about being in Florida is that hotels have signs like this in the courtyard.
I had a hard time telling what the alligator was thinking her, too bad the turtle is not quick!
We took a ferry across the Disney Lagoon to get to the Happiest Place on Earth!
I little nicer then the sea of parking heading into Disneyland.
Mickey was dressed for the fall season with all his pumpkins
Who doesn't like this place!
We were just happy to go on adult rides.

Okay so this is where our trip got interesting. We were up WAY to early Sunday morning to head home. WE caught a flight out for the Orlando airport to head to Salt Lake City and then on to Oakland. The plane left Florida around 8:00 and we got to SLC at 10am. We were going to have a 2 hour lay over and be home for lunch :) Well at least that is what we thought. After returning form getting a snack we realize that our connection was cancelled and we were all rerouted through SFO. The kicker was that plane left at 8:00pm and we would get to SFO late that night. Just what we all wanted....10 fun hours in the SLC airport. After coffee, fun, talking, more coffee and more food....we got bored. SO what better to do then walk through all the shops, try on funky things and take pictures.
All dressed for winter in Utah
I don't think they were as amused as we were on this one.
Erin and I decided we would be the pilots for that day!
I don't think they got the memo we were in Utah, not Texas

All in all we had a great time. Being with all these girls was a great recharge for me! Thanks for all the fun memories girls!
