Chick-fil-A Seminar 2013

This year, CFA took us on a cruise for seminar! It was amazing. Lew also won a special award this year for increased sales (a brand new Ford Explorer!). We had to fly down a day early to Miami for a special dinner for all the award winners. When we arrived at the airport, THIS was waiting for us!

In the limousine! I think we can handle this royal treatment...

 

Next, we arrived at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. When we got out of the limo, a bunch of CFA corporate staff were there waiting on us and applauded us. They awarded Lew his medal. So cool!

Then we had an escort (who happened to dress like Miami Vice) take our luggage to the room. This was what awaited us...ocean view room with huge windows. Largest hotel room I've ever stayed in!

 

 

I tried to take a picture of the bathroom but it wasn't doing it justice.

There was even a small TV in there!

After checking in, we had lunch (poolside) and then relaxed by the beautiful ocean. We had "beach stewards" as Lew called them who were there to wait on us hand and foot...ahh, the life.

That evening, we headed downstairs for a dinner. These name cards were on our table. We were served filet mignon and lobster tail, which sounds really good but the filet was pretty rare.

 

As if the day couldn't get any better, Scotty McCreery was our entertainment for the night. Did I mention that today is also my BIRTHDAY?! Wow, Lew planned a big party just for me?

 

We came back to the room and found THIS! Perfect way to top off a great day. I feel like a queen. Thanks CFA...and Lew of course!

The next morning, we were told to order room service. Priciest breakfast meal I've ever had...

 

On Sunday, we boarded the cruise ship. One of the perks of being an award winner is that you get free "mocktails" in a certain lounge. Here is Lew chillin'.

 

 

Here is the inside of our ship in the "Boardwalk" area, which had a merry-go-round and aqua theater.

 

Lew did the zip line!

 

Leaving the port...next stop, Bahamas!

Inside the ship

On Sunday night, they had a parade for all the award winners. We were announced on stage and then left for the parade. Here is our picture on stage.

 

Here is us walking across the stage.

 

Here is a video of our pictures, which we didn't get to see until later.

 

At the end of the parade, we had to perform the Gangnam Style dance :)

 

Formal night! We had a nice steak dinner and then went to a comedy show.

On Tuesday, we arrived in the Bahamas. Here is a picture of our cruise ship (on right) compared to a regular size ship. We were sailing on the largest cruise ship in the world.

 

Time to swim with the dolphins!

 

 

 

Getting squirted by the dolphins!

 

Everyone got to take turns hugging, kissing, dancing, etc.with a dolphin.

 

 

 

Doing the "foot push" - the dolphins are pushing our feet

 

 

 

I still love posing with characters!

 

 

Lew's favorites...the Penguins of Madagascar!

 

And last but not least...Lew's prize car! Congrats Lew! We are proud of you.
