Conference, Conference, Gotta Get Down at Conference...

It's finally here!! My company's spring conference. What we've all been counting down to, pretty much since our fall conference ended. No, I'm not kidding. These conferences are an experience like no other. The location changes every time, and we all descend on a city for the better part of a week...and it's a blur. A wonderful, exciting, crazy, super fun blur. Love it, love it, love it. This time we are in Nashville, and we are staying at the incredible Gaylord Opryland Resort (just recently totally renovated because of the Nashville floods about a year and a half ago). Here is just a taste of this place:

Yes, that last picture is, in fact, of the boats that run through waterways all throughout the resort, indoors and outdoors. And oh yes, I will be riding one at some point.

This place is the equivalent of 3 hotels all in one...it's HUGE. When you check-in, they give you a map with your room key. Word of advice - keep that map handy. I got lost TWICE last night while trying to locate my room. Now, I know I'm directionally challenged by nature (thanks Mom!), but I think even Magellan would have gotten confused here.

Anyway, it's amazing, and I'm so thankful that our company is kind enough to put us up here all week, and host all kinds of fun events and cocktail parties, and really just let us all let loose and have fun together. I have ants in my pants right now, I'm so excited. I'm dying for more people to get here...more come today, and a bunch tomorrow too. But I was one of the very first (possibly the actual first) to arrive last night...so I'm ready for all my 'Kamper friends to get here and get this ridiculous party started. Spring Conference 2011...it shall be epic.
