Better Summer Summitt
(July 22)

So because Mike is such an amazing, hard working supervisor at Best Buy, he won this contest they held and got to go to San Francisco for 5 days at the end of July. Only 60 people from 30 stores out of the entire country qualified to go and Mike was one of them! The "Better Summer Summit" (as it was called) turned out to be an amazing and VERY rewarding experience. On the first night, they had an opening banquet and awarded everyone there TONS of free stuff. Among the many things Mike received were:
  • Nikon Digital SLR camera with two lenses and an extra flash
  • Sony Cybershot camera that takes HD pictures
  • A TB external hard drive
  • Epson printer/scanner/copier
  • Digital Video Camera
  • Sony Vaio Laptop
  • TomTom GPS for the car
  • Handheld GPS
  • deck for the car
  • Digital Picture Frame
  • etc, etc,.....


The rest of the time they were there was spent learning how to use their new toys and sightseeing around the city (for instance, one day they had a picture scavenger hunt using their new cameras and had to use their GPS to find points around the city). They were also put up in a 4 star hotel and got a private party/fireworks show aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier. Mike had a great time while he was out there and my only complaint was that wives weren't invited! :)

Mike took the pictures below (isn't he good?!):

that is awesome that he was invited there and he got SO much cool stuff and for free. So cool! Way to go Mike. I guess they want you to know how to use the products you might as well have them!
