Resident Retreat 2015
Off to Table Rock Lake south of Branson for a weekend of sun and fun. The Ophtho Residents celebrated not being on call and boy is it good. We get weekends with each other for once! You don't realize how good weekends are until you don't have them. I work every third weekend but I would take that over nights on call!
A little wake boarding & water skiing does the soul good. We thought Powell was our last boat trip but this unexpected trip made us appreciate the end of summer. Maggie got to tag a long and I think she may have died and gone to heaven. Running in the leaves up and down the boat dock with Remmy and Flynn her new best friends and long lost brother. I think that may have been my favorite part, enjoying how much my dog was loving running around in the open! We played Heads Up over and over and are now specialist in the 90's category. We tried to get Maggie on the SUP and she did pretty well, especially when she had the doggie life jacket on.
Memorable moment of the trip: When Hang is wake boarding and can't flip her board over (she never learned how to swim so a being brave but scared, her husband John goes jumping into the water for her rescue. Varun whips out his phone and says, oh my gosh guys look how beautiful! As he takes several pictures of the cute moment how John helps his wife turn her wakeboard over. I think that takes the cake even though its a close tie to Heads Up, (Its that movie with that girl who kills the Creatures! (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
Worth the long drive (four hours away) we enjoyed a nice relaxing getaway out of Saint Louis and are ready to start the week strong for work.
