Sister Weekend

This past weekend Kristina and I attended the Scrapbook Expo in SLC. As always we had a great time. Over 200 vendors with lots of new product, stickers, paper, embellishments, and on and on and on.

Only five of us made it to this one. Usually we have over 10 of us together. The small number was still lots of fun and great laughs. At dinner I don't think my sister and I have laughed so hard. It was one of those nights when everything just seemed so funny.

I must say that I out did my self this time. Not sure if it was the small group or the fact that I wanted to stay page for page with Kristina. I usually only to about 4-6 layouts over the weekend. (I know slow right) But this time I was able to finish 9. That's right 9. Yeah for me.


I am already looking forward to the next one in Sept (11-12) for those who want to join us. After all the more the merrier.

Last week Rogers had a business trip / vacation on Impac. Each year Impac hosts a trip that includes all employees and their significant others. Lucky Rogers, he got to take his wife. More like lucky me I got to go this time instead of just sending him and then hearing about all the beautiful things he was able to see.

This trip was in La Jolla CA which is a stone throw away from San Diego.

We arrived at the Torry Pines resort (golf fans, this is a PGA course)(very expensive). It was beautiful. We checked in and headed to Lunch, buffet style and very yummy. Then Rogers was off to a meeting for a few hours, I headed back to the room for the start of some R&R. That evening we had dinner at the Pacifica Cafe in Del Mar CA. It was near the ocean and the view of the sunset was beautiful; however I could not get my camera out of my purse before it was gone.

The next morning Rog and I was able to have breakfast together before he went off to meetings, 8am - 4pm. This left time for the girls to get together and check out down town La Jolla. I was able to get a picture of Mission Bay and some palm trees. We found a candy store that had all of the old time candy I remember from when I was little. We did lots of walking and checking out all of the little shops, it was so green and pretty their, especially after leaving Utah where it was 8 degrees when we left.

Once the meetings were over Impac had a closing social (drinks and reception food), a few couples (7) decided to find a restaurant so that we could get some dinner and we ended up at a pizza place near the San Diego temple. It was so beautiful all lit up white in the dark.

Next morning (Saturday) was our play day. We ended up going to Sea World with Greg and Andrea Smith & Chip and Becky Page. We had a great day running from place to place to make sure that we were able to catch all of the shows. The funniest thing at Sea World was that as we were leaving the Shamu show a Seagull decided that my head would make a great place for him to take a dump. Thanks to Andrea and her not having a weak stomach she was able to get all the bird poop out of my hair and off my shoulder. That evening the six of us headed to the GasLight district of San Diego and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. My first time there and it was lots of fun.

I could have stayed a few more days but needless to say we were back on a plane Sunday and heading home. It was a fun trip and some nice time to just relax and spend some time with Rogers.
