2014
 

Sanibel Island was the perfect setting for our reunion this year! The resort boasted two pools and Marina and an incredible fitness center / SPA.

The shelling was absolutely incredible as compared to many other beaches.

The guys went fishing while the ladies enjoyed an afternoon of high tea. We all enjoyed an afternoon boat trip to our own

private island and went to Ft Myers beach to rent a couple of jet-skis for the afternoon.

 

Let’s us not forget the amazing food... The Island Cow and the Bubble room were favorites as well as late night ice cream at Love Boat Ice Cream.

Congrats to Mya for winning the talent show with her amazing rendition of “let it go" One of my favorite vacation spots and an awesome place to host our last GSK reunion.

Pigeon Forge Tennessee in the great smokie mountains was the perfect backdrop to our 2012 Family Reunion.

Who can forget "the Lumberjack" show, day trips to the great smokie mountains, Gatlinburg and Cherokee. Christmas in August was hilarious!!

Our theme this year was "hippie chicks" and "kool cats".....we rolled down the hill in a ZORB and landed at the Mellow Mushroom.
