Keeping the Faith (march 2-3)

Friday, March 2, I went to Cincinnati for a youth conference.  11 teens and 2 adults from my church (Trinity Church) went.  It lasted 3 days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  We stayed at Blue Ash Embassy suites, I think its a really nice hotel.  They have a pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a work-out room and some other stuff.  Like I said really nice.  We got there at about 5:30am, unpacked and went to the room we were meeting in.  We met all the other teens (30 or so, including us) and Session #1 started, we were told not to sit with the group we come with and to mingle (as in mix with the other tables - a bunch of the Trinity group sat together XD).  The Pastor for my church was the speaker = fill in the blanks :).  After session some of us went to a big group room and played games, while everyone else went swimming.  Later on we went to our rooms, showered and went to bed.
  The next morning we all had breakfast and went to session #2 and workshop #1.  We then headed out to explore the mall.  At the mall we had lunch and set of in small groups of 3-4 peeps.  An hour 1/2 before we had to leave everyone met up and walked around together.  We found out it was national platapuse day and the Disney store was giving out perry the platapuse hats.  We all got one and went around telling people 'happy platapuse day'.  We then went back to the hotel and got ready for session #3 and workshop #2.  After session we went up to the big group room we had gone to Friday night.  As we hung out we ate pizza and talked.  We then all headed to bed.
  Next morning we had breakfast and packed so we didn't have to later.  We then went to Session #4 and workshop #3.  After session we went to the cars and left on the 4 hour ride home.
