Yep, you heard correctly... I have been in Palm Springs! An all expense paid trip that came from... WORK! :-) Talk about a blessing!
It turns out there is a really cool conference there that focuses on out of school time... like summer camps and after school programs. It was called BOOST and it was really good. I came back with tons of ideas for my program next year!
I also came back with a little bit of a tan and an appreciation for the color green! The only things green in Palm Springs are palm trees and money! lol
During the day we stayed at our resort that was connected to the convention center. In the evenings, though, we got a little time to shop and explore Palm Springs. By the way, it was MUCH smaller than I had envisioned. MUCH. We went to a street festival while we were there and enjoyed our time thoroughly!
Palm Springs is surrounded by mountains. REALLY big mountains that look like giant piles of dirt! lol When we were flying from Dallas to Palm Springs I couldn't get over all the brown and nothingness! I was glad when we returned to a fresh green Tennessee, albeit cold and wet!
It was a really great trip and I most enjoyed getting to know some of the people that do what I do and sharing thoughts and ideas about work and life alike!
