Hello all!!
Well, we all made it back in one peice. All a little tired, but it was well worth it. Friday we went to a HUGE mall across from the Motel. It took us about 3 hours just to walk a third of it. Of course my daughter got spoiled by Rene, Donna and Michele. They took her to a build a bear and bought so many outfits for the cat she got to build, they got another free outfit. Then of course we all bought a multi colored beanie cat. We were spending our money before we even got to the Expo! We all went to lunch at the Hooters there in town. My hubby had never been to one so it was real fun. Rene got my daughter a shirt that says " my dad went to Hooters and all he got me was this T shirt"
Saturday was really fun. We all got to take the cats to the show. Everyones cats did pretty well. Then of course we had the awards banquet that night. It was at a very nice place and we all got to clap for those who won year end awards. Rene's cat Milo won a regional award!! He is something else, I have never met a cat as cool as Milo!! We didnt get to bed until midnight!!
Sunday was just as fun, we were a little tired, but still enjoyed the show. I finally put myself on a waiting list for a Maine Coon cat. I have adored the breed for many years and finally decided on a breeder to buy from. Within the next year I should be getting him. Of course, I was offered a Cornish Rex and have not decided if I can bring another baby into the house right now. After we were all done and had layed on the bed for a good hour, we went to a really nice steak house for dinner. We had a drink and toasted to a good weekend!! I cant say enough about AACE and being with people who adore cats as much as I. It gives me a chance to travel and meet new people as well. I think next time I will bring a laptop though, I sure did miss the site!!
