Our trip started on Thursday morning at 5am our flight left at 11 am, but we live 3 hours away from the Airport in Phoenix and we had to be there an hour and a half before our flight left. So we flew from Phoenix to Chicago (which was late we were to leave at 6pm but didn't leave till about 8:30pm) Chicago to Milwaukee. We arrived in Milwaukee around 9:30pm picked up our rental car which happened to be one of these beauties, lol!!
We arrived at our hotel just before 11pm, which happened to be one of these hotels it wasn't the greatest but hey, all we really needed it for was to sleep and shower!!
Friday we had half the day to do whatever before the conference started, well we were exhausted so we slept till 11 got up and ready for the day, so in all reality we had 2 hours to do something. Well down town Milwaukee doesn't have very much parking, and well none of it is free!!! So we drove around for a hour looking for parking and a place to eat. finally found one for $6 a day for parking and a mall to eat at
both which were only a block and a half away from the Arena the conference was in.
So the conference started at 7 and went till midnight, made it back to the hotel around midnight thirty. That night there was a thunder storm, and I was laying a wake watching the lighting and listening to the thunder, where all of a sudden there was a bright flash and not a second later a big crash of thunder, which made David and our little soccer/football player jump. It was quite humorous.
The next morning was up at 6 to eat breakfast and then off to the Arena at 8 to find a seat. Conference started a 10:30 am went till 4. Then had a break till 7. So a group of us from Arizona got together and had pizza and chatted about the conference so far, which had been really good! We then went back at 7pm and it went till 2am. This Leadership conference was quite amazing, I think we are on information overload. I loved how everyone there was so nice and friendly and positive, it really was a great conference.
Anyways we returned back to the hotel to get ready for our early morning flight. We had a 2 hour nap then got up to make it back to the airport to drop off the rental car and make our 6:40 am flight. We flew from Milwaukee to Minneapolis, then Minneapolis to Phoenix. We got back to Phoenix at 10:30 am. We then made it back home at around 2pm.
That was our weekend, Like I said sorry for the lack of photos, And thanks everyone that read our blog!
