Staff Retreat

Jon & I just returned from a wonderful time at staff retreat. All the staff from SMI along with their spouses went down to Panama City Beach for 3 days. I really enjoyed getting to know each of the staff members better.

We had plenty of time for relaxation and fellowship. We swam in the pool/hot tub, played beach volleyball (and Jon played tennis too), went shopping, walked on the beach, slept, ate and just visited with everyone. On Thursday night we all celebrated communion on the beach which was a really neat experience. The last 2 nights there, we had a room on the 20th floor with a balcony off our room and the view was incredible. We cracked the door so that we could hear the ocean and feel the breeze at night! It was very different from vacation when we have the girls with us:) But it was nice and a much needed break for us.

We stayed at an amazing resort called the Grand Panama Resort. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but here are a few from their website of what the place looked like...
