On Friday morning, we flew with our trusty friends of Southwest to Orlando then rented a car and drove 1-1/2 hours to Vero Beach to meet up with our friends from Eric's Pediatric Dental Residency for a weekend reunion! Mindy and Andy Hall hosted all of us at their house and we had a great time!!
View from The Hall's backyard overlooking the Indian River and their sailboat. Beautiful!!

On Saturday, we all went out for a sun set cruise
Dr. Shea and Dr. Jordan Tarver
This was a first for all 3 of us! We had never been on a sailboat and it was so much fun!
I played a game with Lauren to look for flags along the intercoastal
Shea and Jordan
I asked Lauren to "pose for a picture" and she did this! I really wasn't expecting her to do anything, but she was very much in to striking a pose! I have NO idea where she learned this from!
"Isn't it pretty, mama?"
Playing with Dr. Silva--"Pull Lauren!"
We stayed at The Driftwood Inn in downtown Vero. It had tons of history and was a cool place to stay the weekend.
Sunday morning before brunch at The Lemon Tree
We ate breakfast at this little restaurant both mornings...it was delicious!
Dr. Silva, Ruby, Dr. Mindy, Lauren and Dada, Mr. Andy, Jackson, Dr. Jordan, and Dr. Shea! The Marx family left the night before. We had the best time visiting with old friends and can't wait to do it again!
Lauren is really in to turtles right now and it was perfect that Vero Beach had turtle statues everywhere! She got 2 turtle books and a stuffed animal turtle that weekend.
We drove back to Orlando and visited with The Ashy's for a few hours to let Lauren take a nap and then headed back to the airport for
