10 years of Spousetivities! Congratulations!

Jonathan and I thought it would be good to include Charlie in our thank you pictures. because without sponsors even dreaming of Furtivities wouldn’t be possible.

Special Note of 7 years of support:

Thanks to all the sponsors that make these fun activities possible this year at VMWorld.

Charlie has a great life lounging around the house and taking naps. I have a great time with Spousetivites at VMWorld. Thanks again to Crystal and all the great sponsors for making it happen.

Charlie Doggo’s view of @Spousetivities – guest post by @MrsVirtSecurity

Jonathan and I have a white Maltese dog named Charlie. So when a contest came along to show appreciation for Spousetivities, we just had to have Charlie’s point of view. Plus, who can resist a really cute dog?

We called all his activities #furtivities.

Welcome pictures introduced the idea.

We put him in five of the different activities Crystal has planned for this year at VMWorld.

Breakfast and cooking lessons.  He loves Bacon! So does Jonathan.

There are always lots of prizes.

Buffet line issues.

 

Hunt the strip was the next activity for Charlie to imagine. The Minus 5 Bar seemed a good spot, other than the borrowed puffy jacket.

Part of Hunt the Strip includes trivia of the sponsors. (Please see the next blog post to see our Thank You’s to the sponsors.)

After a long day of walking, we all need a little rest.

 

The Helicopter Tour of the Grand Canyon was next for Furtivities.

Off to see Rare Agile Big Horn Sheep.

 

Spa Days are awesome in Vegas!  Charlie doesn’t really feel the same about baths around here.

 

Cabana Days and lounging by the pool.

 

Then a final suitcase picture to say goodbye.

Thanks for following along while Charlie Doggo had Furtivities.  Hope everyone has a great time with the real Spousetivities.

@Spousetivities #VMworld – Why it’s important

Ok so let me get this started.  I like conferences.  I am an extrovert and love talking to people.  But… I don’t like being gone for long periods of time without my wife.  So back in 2010 I think I heard about @Spousetivities and how there were sponsored events and activities for my wife to go do while I am “networking” at VMworld.  This was an awesome thing.  We have been in both San Francisco and Las Vegas for VMworld and there are times and places that may not always be the safest.

While she can take care of herself I do worry about other people and worry about her finding things to do that she will like.  Crystal Lowe definitely came up with a solution to a problem that no one realized was there.  In the true meaning of Entrepreneur she found a need and went about filling it.  I am glad that Jill can hang out with all the @Spousetivities bunch each year and get to do some amazing activities.  If you haven’t brought your spouse or significant other along to a conference because they feel like it will be boring to be inside at a hotel or resort all day then go take a look at Spousetivities.com.  There also amazing sponsors who can get your other half into parties with you in the evenings.

I really liked the shirt that Jill came back with a couple of years ago.  She was definitely the #vCutie!!

I would like to thank the following sponsors and people involved for @Spousetivities #vmworld 2017:
