WORK ... AND PLAY
Work and play don’t usually go together, but this past month, I had the chance to sneak in some fun with my business travel. Just a few weeks ago, I traveled down to Orlando, Florida, to accept an award. Ever since completing a nine- month dental implant program back in 2013, I had decided to pursue a fellowship credential from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

Magic Kingdom when they were younger, being able to experience Disney through the eyes of my 3-year-old, Finn, was a joy for all of us.

After realizing the award was presented in Orlando on Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, Margaret and I decided to turn a work trip into a quick family getaway, complete with a stop at Disney World. While Eloise and Teddy had both been to
Margaret and the kids at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom (or “Pet Kingdom,” according to Finn) turned out to be more memorable than any fellowship award!
