Brad the World Traveler

Ok maybe not "world traveler" but close. Brad has been out of town 4 out of the last 5 weeks for one reason or another. I am glad he is done. I joined him on a couple of the trips and that was enough for me. I need my own bed to sleep in.
First he went to Las Vegas to transfer some business accounts for a client. He was only there for a couple days but he had fun playing the game Acquire with his parents. (he doesn't get to play that often when I'm around because I'm the biggest fan. Sorry!)
We then both went to California for his friend Patrick's wedding. It was nice to be there but it was so hot and humid. We went to the beach where Brad got to go body boarding, and lost his wedding ring. Luckily it was his and not mine. The wedding was beautiful and Stephanie had a gorgeous dress. However the hotel Brad and I stayed at was less than impressive. We had reservations at one hotel for the whole trip, but after one night I told Brad there is no way I could stay there another night. The bed was horribly uncomfortable, I got no sleep. So we checked out and moved to another hotel on the condition that we could get a refund on the first hotel. We were told we could, but it has yet to come. The second hotel however didn't have a queen bed it only had 2 full sized beds, so we ended up sleeping on separate beds, which ended working out ok because I didn't wake up Brad every time I had to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Both the hotels were very old and not taken very good care of. After that experience I told Brad we will only be staying at chain hotels that we know are nice for now on.
The following weekend Brad's company had their summer regional conference in Steamboat Springs. I also went on this trip. The hotel was very nice, I was super excited! It was so beautiful there. If Brad and I can every afford a vacation home I think it might be there. The town is still a small ski town, so it has a lot of charm. We went down the alpine slide, walked around the downtown area and just caught up on our sleep. It was a very relaxing trip. It was very nice of Edward Jones to pay for this trip. They do a trip like this every year for their advisers and families. We are so lucky that Brad was able to get this job. He has been doing great and I am so proud of him.
Brad then had a week home before he had to go the St Louis for a couple of days for training. This trip was short, he was only gone for 2 nights. I hate being home alone so I was very happy it wasn't like his other training trips that are a week long. This was the last trip of the summer. We are now just going to be busy getting ready for the baby. We are both happy to have a couple months at home to spend together.
