I got home yesterday from a busy trip to Baltimore. NBIA hosted
our conference there this year. Friday night, Mer and I stayed
with Michelle and Aaron in Columbus, then flew to Baltimore
early Saturday morning.
When we arrived at the hotel, we got ourselves organized.
Our hotel had a WHOLE MALL inside of it!! And the escalator
to the mall was about 20 feet away from the registration desk
where I would be working all day! Saturday, I actually had
some free time so I went and bought some shoes. Then I met
up with Nika, a friend from my message board. She showed me
around Baltimore!
We went paddleboating, visited the Baltimore National Aquarium,
did some shopping, had dinner at the PaperMoon diner, then
went out for pomegranite margaritas. Baltimore is really nice,
I had a great time. Sunday, it was time to work! Sunday is
the longest day, registration opens at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't
close until 9 p.m. We had our 20th anniversary celebration
that night, and had a delicious birthday cake!
I worked registration Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning,
with Cheryl, Lindsay and Sarah. Conference went great, we
got a ton of positive feedback. The
hotel and surrounding area were gorgeous. I also managed to
go out for some awesome seafood. Crabcakes. Mmm! Tomorrow I leave to visit
Amanda in Bluffton, to see some baby goats!
