Peurto Rico

This Trip sponsored and paid for by STAGG.  This was suppose to be a trip for Larry and I.  Larry even added an extra day but instead of that being an extra day together it ended up being another day apart.  Because of Larry's surgery he was not able to make the show.  Jaydan got to go in Larry's place.  Jaydan was so excited and we had a great time.  When we were switching the tickets Jaydan got upgraded to first class and so from SLC to Atlanta he flew in the comfy seats.  I was happy for Jaydan.  Jaydan is the fifth child and has been so easy going that he hasn't got a lot of extra attention. He never demanded it...he just went with the flow.  I use to take the kid with me every where when he was little.  I even took him with me when me and some neighbors took golf lessons.  He wouldn't run around or get into things.  He just stayed by me and played.  Jaydan is a great kid.

We enjoyed ourselves for a few days before the Stagg Show started.  We chilled by the beach, ate on the beach, ordered room service one night, watched a few movies, and relaxed!  Jaydan likes relaxing and so that's what we did.  I wasn't complaining....it's what I wanted to do too.  Oh and just after midnight on January 13 (Mya's birthday) we experienced an Earth Quake. (it registered at 6.5)  It woke Jaydan up with a curious look on his face.  It didn't last long but shook us and rattled the door pretty good.  I was a little surprised but wasn't really freaked out.  It was something exciting to add to our adventure.

Jaydan attended classes on Monday and I went over and joined him for lunch.  He went to more classes and I went back to the Hotel and worked on my SNAP lesson.  We went back to the convention center that evening for dinner which was more like appetizers.  It filled us up though.  Most the people were there for the Rum.  Puerto Ric has good Rum I guess....as much I love Rum extract and Rum flavoring I wasn't tempted with this kind of Rum.  On Tuesday we went to the show and placed the order for TJ Trailers.  I like going around the different booths and seeing the different things.  I placed an order but it wasn't for TJ's it was for us. (toys for the grands) A guy that sells equalizer hitches wanted a few things from the booth I ordered from and so I put his order with mine. It's probably good I don't go every year.

I had a great time with my son.  I sure do love and appreciate each one of my kids.  They are truly my favorite people.  I love every single phase of their life. (junior high isn't as lovable but for the most part I enjoyed those years too)  I love seeing the people they grow into....they are good people, and fun, and clever, and funny, and smart, and kind, and simply wonderful.  I'm glad Jaydan and I were able to share this time together.  Jaydan razzed Larry about having to stay home with the kids and was so glad it wasn't him at home this time.
