MACHE conference at Rochester, MN Civic Center
Our Hotel we stayed at.. Doubletree/Hilton
Our room was soooooo nice! What a great getaway!
At the Conference, I got to meet one of my fav. authors.. Lois Walfrid Johnson, who writes children's historical fiction! So fun!
The skyway/catwalk in our hotel! Pretty!
One of our main speakers.. Lew Sterrett!
The weekend conference had 4600 people attending!
One of the best things about MACHE, the exhibit hall!
MACHE was so great! We went with two of our great friends, Ben & Mindy, which was a blast! A GREAT couple's retreat! :) We had so much fun exploring restaurants and attractions in Rochester, as well as attending the many great speakers and shopping for Homeschooling ideas! It was a blast!

There was a LOT of info covered in just one weekend, so for newbies to HSchooling, I expect it was a bit overwhelming.. but for a 2nd generation HS like me.. it was fun, yet just a bit overhwleming at times still! :)

One of my fav. things was the used book sale over the weekend, the session on Homeschooling with MN State Law, and the special conferences they had for POPS families (Parents of preschoolers) it was a great way to get ideas and schooling info! I highly recommend anyone interested going to the MACHE conference next year.. it will be in Duluth, MN!
