Sports Medicine Conference in Tampa Bay









I accompanied Chris to his sports medicine conference in Tampa Bay last week. Most of my days were spent lounging by the pool at our hotel (but if I'm really honest, I spent entirely too much time online looking at homes to buy in Illinois.) In addition to the academic learning that took place, we got to network with a lot of great people and have some fun as well.



Chris and Suzi's team dominated the fellow's quiz bowl, which was entertaining to watch as a spectator; we went to the aquarium one night for a reception (and saw the coolest leafed sea dragons, ever!); we went to Clearwater Beach - and had one of the worst sunscreen application performances ever - oops!; we ate at one of the oldest restaurants in Florida that had a Spanish/Cuban influence, complete with flamenco dancers; and ran a 5K with a running club sponsored by the Four Green Fields Irish pub (which Suzi said was the most authentic pub she's ever been to in the U.S. - which says a lot!)


A very entertaining, yet relaxing (at least for me) week!
