So Friday afternoon, Tony, co-worker Lucy, and I drove over to Sun Valley for a Podiatric Conference. It was mostly for Lucy and I, but I thought the reservation was made for two Queen beds so I invited Tony to tag along for a much needed break.

It wasn't too long of a drive and we got there before sunset. I went in to check in, only to find out the reservation was for one King bed. Oops. After a few jokes with the others I decided to get a roll-away. Sorry Lucy. If I'd know, well- it would have been different, but it turned out ok.

Our classes didn't start until the next morning so we thought we'd enjoy the town a little bit. We didn't go too far, but it was fun to stroll around the little shops and double blink at some of the prices. It's amazing what people will pay for a sweatshirt in a giftshop. We didn't run into any celebs but maybe next year :-).

Classes started at 7:30am "The Role of the Podiatric Medical Assistant" which I felt was more for the Dr. giving the lecture than for us because it turned out to be a Q&A with him asking all the questions, picking up some tips on what we were doing as assistants. He was surprised at what we were taking on and commented that he needed to change some things at his office. Kinda weird, but :-) it was nice to meet other assistants from other offices and meet some new faces.

The other classes were great and during lunch I met a lot of vendors, a few offers to bring lunch to our office to show us their product (Don't let anyone tell you there's no such thing as a free lunch).

I should have taken some pictures, but it was a quick trip. Tony swam in the pool while I was in classes, did a little shopping, and feels so much more refreshed. Over night shifts are getting to him. I look forward to when he can move on to the next phase in our life: (Anything but night shifts.)lol

We got back last night and realized that we haven't been on a vacation in years and maybe we'll start making plans for a longer getaway. We'll see how it goes :-)
