Day 1: Mom 2.0 Summit

I left for the Mom 2.0 Summit from Boston at 9:40am, on one of the most roundabout way to Houston possible (with the exception of my return flight). I unfortunately developed a cold right before I left, so I had to take some Sudafed so that my head wouldn't explode on the flight. The good news -- my nose was nice and clear. The bad news -- the large man next to me smelled very, very bad...

After 20 minute layover in Charlotte where I scarfed down a combo meal from Bojangles (mmm..... spicy fries, fried chicken biscuit, sweet tea), I was on my way to Houston. Upon arrival, I got a text from Ciaran (aka @momfluential) that she was waiting for me at baggage claim. I've "known" Ciaran online since 2006, but have never met her in person -- but we were just like old friends once we met.

A quick cab ride later, we were at the Four Seasons. Since the room we requested wasn't available, we were upgraded to a suite. Ok, so we were a bit confused and actually were annoyed for a second, until we realized what we had exactly been given!

The first night reception rocked! Of course, I was dressed boring Boston business casual while C looked like a rock star, but that's ok. I met some amazing women, all of whom I will link to later, and had a great time. After the reception, C and I hit the piano bar, because we are at the Four Seasons, they have a piano bar, and the pianist was playing the theme from Arthur. So, we had to do it!
