SDSI Course Week!

I finished up my work at the school for the year, and headed straight down to San Diego for another great week with San Diego Shoulder. It's always a long, work-filled week, but also a lot of fun!

 I never get tired of this room or this view!

At the end of our first day, Dr. Esch once again treated us to a magnificent dinner. This year we tried Seersucker, and it did not disappoint!

Cheers! (Loving my new favorite drink...the Moscow Mule!)

We got quite an assortment of food. We tried the must-have duck fat fries, shrimp and grits, baked brie, various main dishes, along with sides of corn, broccolini, and the best mashed potatoes ever!

 And of course, an assortment of desserts...

 and Dr. Esch's after dinner drinks, which get passed around the table...

This year we had Darian join us and it is such a great group. We've all been looking forward to a fantastic week!

We walked back to the hotel with a bright strawberry moon shining above!

 The rest of the week was a busy one! We worked hard, met a ton of people from all over the world, ate a ton, and laughed even more. We even found a morning to run some stairs and take an early morning walk.

Our new registration set up is done and we're ready to go...

We enjoyed having some of the big girls work with us this year!

We took turns walking through the cadaver labs again...always a fascinating experience!

We couldn't go the week without our Donut Bar and Ghirardelli fix!

We had fun with the photo booth at the Chairman's Reception!

Larky spoiled us with massages at the spa, which we followed up with dinner and drinks by the pool as the sun set.

We always have a great time at the Faculty Dinner on Friday night! It's nice to get out of our "uniforms" too!

Such a blessing to be a part of this group!

 I promised myself I would experiment with more sushi this year. Some were better than others, but I couldn't get enough of the California rolls.

Love these girls!

Another successful week in the books! I'm already looking forward to next year!
