Team Retreat

This week we headed to the mountains for a team retreat. Well, ok, so maybe they were more like hills and plateaus, but for a Louisiana girl, anything above sea level seems mountainous!! Anyway, it was great--the weather was considerable cooler, the scenery was awesome, the pollution was absent, and there was just an overall feeling of peacefulness in this small town (especially when you compare it with a city of over 3 million people!).

The ten of us had a great time bonding, planning, and just having fun. I think this next year is going to be really incredible, and I'm excited about getting to work with such great people. Here are some photo highlights of our trip:

pretty scenery

look who's house we found! SRK!!!

silly mountain, er, plateau pics

beautiful sunrise (i wish i could take credit for this pic, but my roommate took it cause i was not about to get up at 6 am and hike up a big hill!)

can you tell what i'm eating in this picture? (hint: they served it to us for breakfast)

if you guessed brain curry, you were right!!! (don't worry, i didn't really eat it, it just made for a really gross picture!)

group picture

amazingly smooth and nice road on the drive home (this is totally rare here!)

and one more just for fun...does this look familiar to any of you ALIAS fans???
