French Horn Show

So this past weekend I have been out of town doing a French horn show for work. We left on Thursday and got back Sunday night. It was in Steven's Point, WI. Not the most exciting place in the world, but at least I got to get away from the office part of work for a few days and do something else. Besides I still got paid a nice rate for it, and the company pays for all the expenses, so can't really complain. Brendan and I were the only 2 from work going, and we had a good time. We did not have a hotel reservation for Thursday night, but only for Friday and Saturday night cause the hotel we were staying at was all full for Thursday, so we decided we would just go Thursday and find a place when we got there. Well when we got into Steven's Point Thursday night we stopped at the Baymont hotel and Suites cause it looked nice. Turns out they only had one room free, but it was a 2 room apartment!! LOL Well we took it, especially since it was only $110.00 for the night, and since we could still have our own separate rooms. Well we walked into this room, and our jaws just hit the floor. This place was SAWEEEET!! I mean it had the living room, dining area, a full kitchen, etc. I mean this kitchen was bigger then what was ever in my apartment or house! LOL We decided to see if it was available the rest of the time we were there and cancel our other reservations, especially since it would end up being cheaper anyways since our other 2 regular rooms at the other hotel were like $68.00 each. Well we got this apartment room for that following Friday night too, but then it was booked for Saturday night, so they still gave us a 2 room suite for Saturday night! It was still way cooler then what we would have had and cheaper!
Anyways, the horn show itself was kind of a drag. It was not a big show, and there were not a whole lot of people. We did not sell any of the French horns we took, but at least sold some accessories. We did find some potential products to carry though, so it still turned out to be a productive and worth while trip/show.
So now it's back to the regular grind of things in the office and on the phones. It hasn't been too exciting since being back. Oh well. Anyways I hope everyone else had a good weekend!
