Charlye's first traveling experience happened back in January when she traveled with me to a work conference in Detroit. This is an annual conference for those who work with and in Youth Ministry in the ELCA, as I do. Since I am still nursing Charlye, it would have been hard/impossible to leave her home for 5 days so we brought her with...she was a champ! Her first plane ride was pretty uneventful...hurray for another good flyer!
And Charlye even had her friend Lucy to enjoy the extravaganza with! (My friend Sarah's baby girl).
Yep, Charlye was a champ all weekend! She got to learn about the book of Mark from a great story teller (and one of Michael's old professors from TLU)...
And she got to hang out with Michael from Lost and Found, which is a music group that I thoroughly enjoy (they sadly are retiring after this year! Nooooo!!!).
She got changed right in the middle of the conference...(hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go...and the Hyatt Detroit isn't so great about having changing tables in their public bathrooms).
She got to endure the daily Starbucks trip...
She got to hear Bishop Eaton speak (the current presiding bishop of the ELCA)
And she got to hang out with lots of friends and co-workers!
While Detroit wasn't my favorite place that this conference has been held, it was good to go and see where we would be bringing youth this summer for the ELCA's National Youth Gathering. Charlye approved.
Next year's conference is back in Anaheim, CA (one of my favorite places that it's held)...and this baby will be staying with Gramma:)
