I finally have time to post pictures from the trip to Omaha. This is my last convention this year. *sigh* I'm glad to be done. The show was painfully dead, and attendance was reportedly WAY down, so it wasn't just us. We had a premier spot right inside the door, but the crowd never came. Boring days, 2 days of 6 hours of trade show. ICK.
The trip up was fine, and we ate lunch at the Sunset Brewery. The food was good, and I had one beer, to say that I tried it. It was Raspberry Honey Ale. Good stuff. Jeff had something so dark that I SWEAR I saw him chewing it. OK, maybe not.
We set up the booth and headed back to the hotel, where we gathered later for dinner. Jeff and Patty got knee-walkin', commode-huggin' drunk. It was funny, since they don't typically do that. Neither of them drink much, so we laughed a LOT at the two of them. Jeff even had trouble signing the check. Needless to say, the second night, they had colas.
The trip home was long. When it's time to head home, I can't wait to get there. I want to blink my eyes and be home. It doesn't work that way. I got home about 8:45, which was almost 4 hours after leaving. At least we got here, safe and sound. I'm done for the year, and I'm glad of that.
The pictures can tell the rest, since I'm tired and the girls have to be picked up from church soon.
Oh, and thanks for those that appreciate boring. Who else do you know that takes pictures of a shower head at a hotel, or a carpet, or a microwave? Yeah, I'm boring, but I'll keep the journal for now.

If you've been to one motel, you've seen them all. Except not all of them have bedbugs.
I love picture #18....very nice! You have a good eye....my husband walked through here and asked why I was looking at pics of a motel room. I said because she went on a business trip. He just looked blankly at me and walked away. He just doesn't get it! ;o)
At least there's no umbrella in Jeff's drink. LOL now I'm looking up 'caramel drop' to see how to make it. It sounds good...
Hey, did you get a sleep number bed?! I looooooove those! I put mine all the way down to soft and squooshy when we stay at hotels....
