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.

2nd Lake Powell Trip 2015

I have to say this may have been the best Lake Powell trip we've ever had. It would have been better than best if Jace and Tanner came with us! This trip was so low key and it seemed like we were out on the boat all the time. Surfing, wake boarding, skiing early mornings, tubing, air chair, stand up paddle boarding. We got it all in! We always have the best food when I am at LP, cafe rio salads, ribs, tri-tip mm mm! So fun to have a short break and be with family for a week. We had a group of ducks that came to our boat every morning knowing we would give them bread. We played Spikeball and beanbag toss on the beach, cliff jumped, and played President/Scum cards until late at night. Overall, I would say this was a successful trip :).
