Touring Fun (Pt.3)

On Friday night, we attended a dinner cruise on the inter-coastal waterway. The ship was loud, which made conversation difficult, but overall, it was fun.

When we got back, I took a few photo's of the resort at night.



On Saturday evening, we attended an Awards Banquet. Here are some photographs of me and my man, as well as a couple with my girlfriend, Kim. (Love her!)

Touring Fun (Pt.2)

After our lovely overnight in Key Largo, we returned to Miami, and checked in to the lovely North Miami Turnberry Isle Resort. We were swept away with the hospitality offered by the staff, as well as the beauty of the grounds. Lining the drive from the street to the resort were multiple luxury vehicles, which we "Ooo'd" and "Aaah'd" over, as we texted photo's back to our teenaged sons.


  









This resort was located directly across the street from the enormous Aventura Shopping area, featuring over 2 million square feet of fabulous shopping and dining fun! We were also surrounded by a fantastic running trail, which I took full advantage of. The weather was gorgeous, and I drank in the luxurious surroundings of fountains, lush tropical foliage and sunshine.




Geico always does a great job of choosing events that showcase the city in which the conference takes place, while being very conscious of the fiscal responsibility of the company (and as a Geico policy holder, I appreciate that thoughtfulness.) The first day of the conference, we attended a horse race at the beautiful Gulfstream Park.
We had a tour of the stables, lunch and the opportunity to watch a race from the Winner's Circle. Here are a few of my photographs from the day.



















Touring Fun

My husband and I had a great time in the Keys and Miami. It was wonderful to get away to warm, sunny days and beautiful nights. Now that my husband does not work for Geico corporate any more (he is an independent contractor now), he is responsibilities were nil, and we were able to just attend and enjoy the Geico conference.
The first night we arrived, we met our friends John and Kim and spent the night in Key Largo. We enjoyed a lovely dinner by the water, while watching the sun go down. For this Virginia Beach girl, it was a taste of heaven to be surrounded by water again. I feel like I have been landlocked, and in fact, I have!
