Florida

Matt's research was selected to represent WVU at the ADA/Dentsply Student Clinician Research Program in Florida. The boys and I were not going to stay home so we came and easily talked Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey into joining us. Florida was just what we needed after a crazy couple months of interviews and rural rotation with crazy hours. The weather was awesome.

Grandma and Grandpa were so nice and babysat so I could go to the orientation Fri followed by the awards night with a reception Sat on the river. The reception was amazing. I love that my husband's first words walking out to the reception was, "I feel like I'm on the Bachelor." It was amazing. We walked to a little island on the river. The band was playing, food was awesome. There were white flags all lit up surrounding us. Ok so my description does not do it justice, and sadly to say I forgot my camera.

It was so fun to be treated like Royalty. Grant loved the Hotel pool with a lazy river and beach area for kids. After a well needed relaxing Sunday with naps for the boys. We took the boys to Magic Kingdom Mon and Sea World Tues. They had a blast. The lines were great. We waiting for 30 min. at the most on one ride. Grant cried everytime we got off Splash Mountain. He rode it 4 times. Tyson screamed when we got close to the characters, but loved seeing them from a distance. Sea World was the perfect day to follow Magic Kingdom. The boys were mesmorized by the Dolphin Show and loved seeing the baby killer whale that was 3 days old.

Trying to decide whether to join Grant in the water.....after getting one foot wet he didn't attempt again.

Grant however loved the water. He told me he met new friends.

To end the trip Matt had booked tickets to the Cirque Du Soleil for the two of us. We walked by the river and went to the show. We loved the show. It was so fun and such a fun date. Thanks Matt!!!
