Last weekend my Mom, Angela, Maxine and I all went to the Women of Faith Conference in San Jose! It was our very first girl road trip and we had a great time :) The theme of the conference was "A Grand New Day" but it really was a grand new year for Angela, as it was her birthday!!
The conference was held at the HP Pavilion or as hockey fans refer to it as the Shark Tank! Yes, one of the Anaheim Ducks rivals play here...the San Jose Sharks. When I told Derek where I was he wanted to know if I had already spit on the floor...ha! Our family does not like the Sharks at all but I must say they have a reaalllyyy nice facility!
Here's the birthday girl with her initial :)
Since there was only women at this conference they opened up the Men's restrooms for us to use as well. All I gotta say is...No wonder there is never a line for the Men's restroom! This picture only captures a portion...there were so many more!
Happy birthday, sweet sister-in-law...
Here are the girls...ang, me, max and my mom :)
As we left the pavilion one day we took a wrong turn...but we didn't let any yellow tape stop us!
The first night we went out to a fancy restaurant for Ang's birthday...it had to be the best chicken I have ever eaten!
As we were walking back to the night's session, I noticed our hotel from afar...that's the San Jose Marriott!
Here we are during lunch break...there was a nice park across the street from the pavilion and the weather was perfect...low 70's! None of us wanted to return to the heat!
Look at all those ladies...
After the evening session we went walking to find some coffee and came upon this unique bakery...look at those cute fruit fondue cups!! I thought of my friend Christy...she loves things like this :)
Okay, check this out...for your convenience, potties on the street corner!!
You push the button and waalaa...the door opens and there you go!!
Here's the 'control panel'...I felt like I was in Europe or something! It was very interesting...
It was a great time of refreshment! It is always hard for me to go somewhere longer than a day but I was thankful for the time to get away from the daily routines of life :)
