36th Annual SDSI Course


It was another gorgeous view and successful week at the SDSI course!

We started off with our traditional Monday night dinner at Donovan's to kick off our week.
I get the same filet and shrimp scampi every year, but why mess with perfection!
 As always it is a busy week with long hours and lots of activities, but we thoroughly enjoy it.  This year was the largest registration with over 400 attendees!


 The course is jam-packed with faculty led lectures, cadaver labs and breakout sessions.
 It was a special treat having all of the girls work with us again too...although I think they preferred the years when they just got to play around SD while we worked!
The Hilton spoiled our crew with daily Starbucks runs and a special treat each afternoon.  Look at this super cute build-your-own trail mix bar!  
We also got "spiked" root beer floats one day, chips/salsa and margaritas another day and a cheese/fruit platter with sangria as well!  So nice!
Friday night we attended the Faculty Dinner with a delicious menu of chicken, steak, sushi, and all of the side dishes you could think of.  We were spoiled with several different flavors of creme brûlée and an open bar too!

The Board gave each of us gorgeous bouquets of flowers and called us each up individually to thank of for all of our work throughout the week.  So sweet!
By Saturday afternoon, all of the registrants had left and the displays were removed, so we enjoyed some time by the pool and an evening in Gaslamp before heading home Sunday afternoon.  Until next year...
