(aka trip)\u00a0 to Boca Raton, Florida.\u00a0 We were really excited to return, and recognize David&#8217;s amazing sales performance with his Andersen peers.\u00a0 God has blessed and provided for our little family once again, and we are thankful daily to have Serena home with the kiddos.\u00a0 Though it was a little cooler than hoped, we can&#8217;t complain about the sunny, gorgeous views, and beachy afternoons, while the boys hung out at home with their loving grandparents in the frozen tundra of Michigan.\u00a0 (Wind chills hit -20 today&#8230; brrrr)<\/p>\n<p>This year we picked the snorkeling excursion again and Serena was able to join for the calming catamaran ride and explorations of God&#8217;s saltier creations in some Atlantic Reefs.\u00a0 As a bonus, we were gifted a sunshiney ride in a Mustang Convertible down the coast complements of one of David&#8217;s co-amazing salesmen.\u00a0 John told us the car would not drive with the top up, so we obliged&#8230; and cranked up the heaters.\u00a0 Everything at the resort was above-and-beyond, and it was such a luxury to be waited-on hand and foot.\u00a0 Even the sales meetings were entertaining and catered with amazing food and beverages.\u00a0 Sunday morning, Serena needed to relax from all the relaxing and took a dreamy spa stop- opting for a bit of pampering over the last sales meeting.<\/p>\n<p>We were also really blessed by David&#8217;s company with a beautiful Friday night dinner in our room.\u00a0 We were excused from the Awards Gala (dining, dancing, etc&#8230;) so that we could honor the Sabbath, but they had the lovely meal including the most beautiful dessert Serena had ever seen (gold dusted chocolate Raspberry mousse!!!) brought to our room.\u00a0 We enjoyed our own peaceful music, each other&#8217;s company and later a quiet walk down the beach.<\/p>\n<p>Our last meeting was a football party.\u00a0 Though we really can&#8217;t tell you who won or even played football, David reigned as RbA Air Hockey Champion, and we lost a mean game of shuffleboard with Chris and Becky.\u00a0 You win some you lose some, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>It was a really lovely trip, and we are thankful for kind parents to watch the boys so we could enjoy this time together.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t say if we&#8217;ll ever make it back, but it&#8217;s been a really nice place for meeting other people in the Andersen family, and making good memories of our own.\u00a0 Next year, the Lord willing, we look forward to hanging out with the crew (and without the crew) in Key West, Florida.\u00a0 Go, David, Go!!!\u00a0 <em>(<a title=\"back to boca \" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/winklerworld\/sets\/72157640077655336\/\">click for more gallery pics in Boca<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This January Renewal by Andersen treated it&#8217;s top performing sales teams to a repeat &#8220;Conclave&#8221;
