NSM in Canada


The last week of June I headed up to Vancouver for the annual national sales meeting. 3 days of meetings and some "free time" worked in there it wasn't a shabby way to spend your typical work week. We had meetings in the morning and into the early afternoon then either free time (code for drinking time) or fun planned activities. One night we had a theme dinner and then headed out on the town for bar hopping and bowling. On Wednesday, the last day of the meeting, John flew up and met me and we vacationed through the weekend. Check out some of my pictures from the "work" portion of the week.

In Conclusion....the month of June

I'm still not sure how it's is July already, but since it is I figured I better recap June. June flew by in all it's San Diego "gloom". It was cool and cloudy right up till the last week of the month. I got to travel back East for work (Charlotte and Philly) which was super convenient b/c I was able to fit in visits with friends and family all throughout the week. I flew into Raleigh and saw my sis and mom!! We took Jenn wedding dress shopping and just enjoyed each others company and I was loving the heat and humidity (never thought I could miss humidity but I do). Also cruised by Pepsi to visit with my old coworkers and checked out their new very fancy office. In Charlotte I got to see a bunch of the buddy girls and ate all the things I hoped to: Sushi, Bread Pudding, Bojangles BoBerry Biscuits, Sweet Tea, and crab cakes. I was one happy lady!! Up to Philly for the remainder of the week I got to squeeze in a visit with my high school friend, Travis while I dodged my sick coworkers (my boss Jeff was kicking whopping cough and my co-analyst Melissa had a double ear infection and respiratory infection- YIKES) I got back to San Diego for just a week before I was back on the road again. During that week I was able to fit in a trip to the beach (even though it was kind of cold) and a trip to the San Diego Fair with Sarah and Mags. John held down the fort while I was gone and took a few trips up to the Tramway just up from Palm Springs for some climbing adventures. Then it was onward to Vancouver....more to come on that shortly.
