Mommy Trip

Hello everyone....sorry for not posting in a while. I went on a work/vacation trip and I'm finally settled back in.

Last week I left Charlotte on Monday to begin my work/vacation trip to Orlando. This was the first time that I have left Evelyn for longer than 4 hours at a time. Daniel's parents (Sandra and Clay) came into town to watch Evelyn during the day since she doesn't go to daycare and Daniel had to work. It sounds like they had a blast and that Evelyn was really good.

Monday afternoon I arrived in Orlando with the entire week planned for me. I work for a company called Culminis. If anyone doesn't know whom Culminis is, we are a not-for-profit company that works with user groups and are supported by Microsoft (http://www.culminis.com/). So yes, I sorta of work for Microsoft (they pay my pay check).

Anyways, Culminis each year has a booth in the Community area at Tech Ed. This is a very large event put on my Microsoft each year. This year there was over 9,000 participants. Want to know more....... http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2008/itpro/default.mspx
So Tuesday though Friday I worked our booth at the convention center and attended the evening activities with my fellow workers.

Also, it just worked out to be the same week that my family was in Orlando as well. They were there to celebrate my sister just graduating from college and my cousin turning 21. Therefore, I stayed the weekend to hang out with them. Every evening we went to a Disney park and had a blast. Since we have two family members that work for Disney, the majority of us got in for free. That as a money saver since the parks cost around $75 now. Isn't that crazy.

So after a busy week and long weekend....I'm more tired than ever. Glad to be back home where life isn't so crazy and home with my little girl. Hope you all had a great week. Some pictures to come. :)
