Lake of the Ozarks - Summer 2011 - The Recap

This school year, I am serving as vice-president of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys (MATA) at Mizzou. One perk of that position is that MATA allowed the president (Josh Sumner) and I attend their annual conference at the Lake of the Ozarks. The organization, like the MATA members I know, was very generous. We got to set in on CLEs, attend dinners, see the Governor, and eat some delicious deserts (picture below). 

Also while at the lake, one of the partners (Scott Nutter) from Shamberg, Johnson, & Bergman was kind enough to treat Daniela and I to dinner at the Blue Heron. It was a memorable evening that we will long remember. Daniela also scored major points with me for overcoming (seemingly with little effort) her fear of heights to go parasailing. Many people warned us not to expect parasailing to be super exciting. While not an intense excitement like skydiving, parasailing was fun and we're glad we had the chance to do it.

Maybe someday we'll be super wealthy and willing to pay the high prices they charge to get a picture of us up in the sky. Until then, we'll stick to the pictures we can take for free. 

As for the Lake of the Ozarks, I'm glad to say that I've been there. It is just one of those things that being from Missouri I felt like I needed to visit someday. Still left on the Missouri to-do list, going up in the St. Louis Arch.
