mom31257 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Who all is going? I'm so excited to be going to the conference in Greenville. My dh rarely gets to go to conferences, but he's taking a day off, so it will be all four of us. His 97 yo grandfather lives there, so we get to visit him, too.

patchfire Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I will be there! We're taking advantage of the free grandparent thing and taking my parents as well as all five of us. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Me!! :hurray: I'll be coming from the Birmingham, Alabama area - a 5 hour drive! Definitely not something I'll do every year, but I'm excited about my "vacation":001_smile: I have my maps all printed out. I've reprinted and re-highlighted the workshop schedule now that I've narrowed it down a bit. I have my list of curricula to look at in the curriculum hall. And I bought a "dog trolley" for my chicken-eating dog so that he can't cause trouble while I'm gone for three days!:tongue_smilie: I am ready! Bring it on!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I will be there Friday and Saturday, without my family. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeturn Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 :party: It's my 40th birthday so I will be there all three days with three girlfriends and no family (though I fear I will miss the kiddos greatly after the first few hours). We are driving from South Alabama - almost seven hours for us. Road trip!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaMa2005 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We are going! DH is taking a day off from work and DS is going to be spending some time in the Children's Conference. I am so looking forward to it. Oh, and Tim Hawkins on Friday night!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Quick question, the convention is obviously Christian, will there be any secular type curriculum featured, from previous experience? Are all the lectures from a Christian perspective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinannie Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We'll be there. My parents live there so we have free babysitting. I am really excited to go and look at everything in the exhibition hall! :cheers2: For those that have been there before, how early do you have to get to the talks to get a seat?

kpnick in nc Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'll be there with 3-month old in tow! My in-laws live there, so we have free lodging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Quick question, the convention is obviously Christian, will there be any secular type curriculum featured, from previous experience? Are all the lectures from a Christian perspective? We're going. I'm sending dh to see speakers during a time when I'm seeing a different speaker :) There's enough that looks interesting that I see doing this at least once or twice. I'm opposed to using fundamentalist curriculum & I want to use material that's only secular (or that isn't blatantly Christian). There are a number of speakers that it has been easy to cross off my list. Even so, there are surprisingly enough that I can keep my days pretty packed. I want to see Susan Wise Bauer and Michael Clay Thompson. There are quite a few others I'm interested in checking out. As long as the speaker isn't completely whacked out (IMO), I may be able to get some information from them. The workshops & schedule are on their site, so you can see what might interest you. I've got a list of curriculum I want to see if I can look at in the vendor's hall too. So check out the workshop descriptions & see if there'll be some things that'll appeal to you.

parias1126 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I will be there on Saturday. Too many appointments on Thursday and Friday. It's not too far for me though since I'm coming from Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here, here! My family is going. This will be the first time we go with kids. I'm overwhelmed with the speaker selections, and I don't know when we are going to find time to eat. For the poster who asked when to get seating: right after the previous session gets out!!
