ASA Conference Blog

Going Home

On the way down to Orlando, we had driven all night- not a fun way to travel- so we decided to get some sleep and leave really early i the morning. We left the condo around 3:30am and besides a pretty nasty storm as we passed Atlanta, we had a pretty uneventful trip home, arriving by 6:30 pm. Our dogs were so happy to see us- they both just hung around Eric for days! ASA was a great conference, we enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people and spending time with dear friends. We are looking forward to MAAP and NATTAP later this fall when we can get together again!

The Final Day

On Saturday we went to hear Temple Grandin’s keynote and then spent time playing in the exhibit hall- especially the kids in the big bouncy house. Jamie went ‘trick or treating’- collecting freebies from the booths. She really liked the silly putty, google socks and earth balls.  The kids helped pack up AAPC and we said goodbye to friends then it was back to the condo and swimming. Jamie mentioned wanting to take a helicopter ride so she and I took a short trip over DowntownDisney- it was really cool to fly over the Gaylord resort- it gave a clear view of just how huge that place is!  We also stoppedi for alittle shopping- her new favorite pasttime!
