work trip

Once again, I was able to go to the Opportunity Finance Network annual conference.  I know it sounds like a mouth full but the basics is that is the big industry conference for the organizations that apply to my grant program.  It’s always amazing to go and meet the folks that write proposals and provide the services…throughout the country.  This year the conference was in Charlotte, NC so I was able to have a chance to spend the weekend with my friend Laura (AOII sister) and her family.  At one point during the conference a co-worker and I got to steal away for an afternoon at the Discovery Place museum. 

 

driving to the point

Well…tis another year that we all met at the Point. And, of course, had an awesome time.  For those of you that don’t know, Cedar Point is just amazingly awesome…ok for those of us that love roller coaster thrills its awesome.  Though I do know, from a first hand experience, that not all folks enjoy the roller coaster thrill as much as others…Andrea?!  Hehehehehe!  (Yea, I just let that cat out of the bag…insert evil laugh here). 

You can see by the pictures that it is a little chilly, up north…  Cold  wind or not we had a great time.  Furthermore I took the chance, while in Ohio, to visit my friends Kristin (and fam) and Greg.  No pictures of that fun but always glad to have time with friends I don’t get to see often.
