My dh is not that interested in going to all the workshops, so he spends time in the pool with the kids. He usually ends up with lots of kids & some other Dads & they have a blast in the pool. My 16 year old is coming too, so she takes over some of the babysitting duties if Craig does want to see a certain speaker.
We registered as a family, but didn't get tickets to the Banquet. It says that the dance afterwards is free, so we will just go to that.
We have only gone to conferences in Canada, so this one is new to us too. I hope our system works out in Boston. I'm not sure how welcome children would be at the sessions, but in Canada the babies are often with their parents at the workshops, but very few older kids are. If people are interested, I'm sure that my 16 year old would love to make a few bucks babysitting some kids at the hotel. They may even offer some childcare there, but I didn't see any mention of it on their brochure.
So glad that I'm going to get a chance to meet you. It should be a really fun weekend.
