Good to be Home

Josh got home from Florida yesterday morning, and he couldn't be happier to be home (although he did confess to giving some thought to figuring out how Janae and Ainslie could join him in Florida, rather than him joining them in Utah). The whole point of the trip was to represent BYU in the ABA National Moot Court Competition. But there were lots of other fun things to do in Miami. On Wednesday night, everyone got to see the Miami Heat beat the Celtics. The hotel where they stayed was pretty amazing. Valet parking, hot cookies, they had it all. They stayed in a condominium unit that had lots of room for relaxing and some great views of the ocean.


















The room really was fantastic, but staying on the 32nd floor was a little bit dizzying.

Miami Beach was just a quick 5 minute drive away, and the team made a couple of trips out to enjoy the beatiful scenery and to eat.

It was pretty incredible to see all of the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, as well as a few classics out under the neon lights on the beach.

On Friday morning, everyone headed out to Key Largo to go snorkeling at John Pennekamp State Park.

Josh had never been snorkeling before, but after a few mouthfuls of sea water he had a great time. (Thanks to Amy for taking and sharing the pictures)

The trip was a lot of fun, and the competition went well. Both BYU teams did a great job, but unfortunately, neither team will be moving on to the finals in Chicago.

It was a little disappointing not to advance, but at the same time Josh's chances of graduating from law school are much better now that he won't be spending all that time preparing for a competition. He's got some catching up to do . . .
