I recently had the opportunity to visit the Smucker’s family for a second time and it was just as good as the first time! It was an amazing experience reconnecting with the Smucker’s family, PR team, and fabulous bloggers I have come to adore and love! After a long day of traveling, I was happy to see my hotel room and a gift bag awaiting my check-in. After changing out of my travel clothes and freshening up, I headed to dinner with an amazing driver – Carl. He was so friendly and I learned that he was a Vietnam Veteran. I told him about my dad and said, “Welcome Home.” He was touched that I would say that to him and asked me to tell my dad, “Welcome Home.” What a great way to start the trip!

We started the event with a yummy dinner – Scallops and Shrimp – yum! Oh and of course….hugs!!!

The second day was just as much fun! A big thanks to the J.M. Smucker Company for sponsoring yet another amazing blogging event and big hugs to my Smucker’s Sisters (those who could and couldn’t make it to the event).

Travel and accommodations were provided by the J.M. Smucker Company for this event. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
