On Friday, we went snowmobiling with White Mountain Tours.  Our ride started at noon and we each had a 2017 Polaris LXT 550; they rode like Cadillac’s.  Our guide took us across a 2,000 acres private property for two hours.  We started at 10,000 feet and climbed up to about 12,500 feet.  The groomed trails where easy for Lynn and Mary to manage until they had to stop for a bio-break.  Lynn sank in the snow up to her chest and that was kinda scary.

On Saturday, Paul and Bob went skiing at Beavercreek.  Mary and Lynn spent some time in the Beavercreek Spa. The weather was supposed to be 24 degrees but it felt like -10.  The snow was groomed corduroy and very fast.  The crowds were very small all day.

For dinner on Saturday, we went to the Ski Tip Lodge.  An awesome restaurant based out of a historic stage coach stop.  The rustic feel of the lodge was ideal for a five-star meal.

Great times with the family.

On Friday, February 12th, we flew to Winter Haven to visit her parents. The weather was very nice in the low 70’s. It was a great visit

• Golf – Ray and I played a good round.
• Old Harry’s – We went to dinner at a local restaurant that was very good. The line to get a table was forever but the food great.
• Church – We all went to church together. It was a moving service.
• Computer – Of course, I got to spend a lot of time fixing computers while I was there. They needed a little new Thermal Compound and it’s fixed.

After a couple days near orlando, we drove down to Estero to see my parents. The weather was warm but very cloudy.

• Oncologist – The highlight of the trip was going to see Dad’s cancer doc. That was extremely informative. I have a much better appreciation for what he’s going through.
• Carin – We had dinner with Carin and Brian at Mom’s house. We had lots of good laughs and good food.
• Computer – Of course, I got to spend a lot of time fixing computers while I was there.

Our last stop was a flight to Charleston, South Carolina to visit Cliff and Nancy Hern’s Condo one Isle of Palms. It’s a very new facility (Ship Watch) with great views of the ocean.

• Fort Sumter – We took a tour of Fort Sumter for the civil war times.
• Carriage – After the tour, we had a small tour of the city by horse drawn carriage.
• Golf – Cliff and I played golf on Harbor Course, the narrowest golf course I’ve ever played. I lost more balls there than I’ve ever lost before.
• Game – We played two games
  1. Drinking – It’s primaries time and the candidates are in SC. So each of us got a nominee. When that candidates commercial came on TV, everyone else had to drink. You’d be shocked how well we know the commercials now. And, there are a lot of commercials.
  2. Farkle – Nancy introduced us to a new dice game. It was lots of fun for any number of people. Very cool.
• Bike rides – On our last day, we took a nice 10 mile bike ride around Isle of Palms. The weather was great for February.

It was a great week.

Oh, I went running on the beach too. That was very nice.

We started with a surprise visit from Mike and Don. It was going to be a weekend event but the weather cancelled that idea. We still had a great time. The high-speed go-karts at Full Throttle Karting were a big hit with the guys.

Then Sogeti brought us down to Miami for an Top Performers reward trip. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton on Key Biscayne.

• Bob had flowers and a cake delivered for Lynn’s birthday. We arrived late Wednesday and spend Thursday at the beach. That night the company hosted a nice welcome dinner at the hotel.
• On Friday, they took us for an Air Boat cruise through the everglades and over to Nikki Beach for a huge lunch. For dinner, we went to Smith and Wollensky’s.
• We went for a cigarette boat ride and lunch at Hard Rock on Saturday. Later, Lynn and I also relaxed on the beach. For dinner, we were transported by limousine to a private house on Five Star island.
