This is a picture of the convention center were the Commodity Classic was held. We enjoyed the trade show and meeting several other farmers from around the country. It's always interesting to hear what kind of crops other farmers raise and how they make things work. One couple from MI that we met raised 1,000 acres of pickles! That's a lot of pickles!
An interesting John Deere tractor.
Mark's picture & quote was on a wall in the Asgrow booth.
These were the three finalists in the boat drawing. To decide who would win the boat they had to draw a number 1 through 3 out of a cup. Mark picked #1 and got to choose his tackle box first. Then they all opened their tackle box at the same time in hopes of finding the keys to the boat. Unfortunately, Mark found a Wii instead of the keys. :(

While it was disappointing not to win the grand prize, we had a nice trip, got some money and the Wii with a fishing game that Mark is playing in the picture. :)
During our free time we relaxed in the Dekalb hospitality room and did lots of walking around the area and Downtown Disney. One afternoon we thought we would be smart and rent a car for the day for $50 to go to a restaurant and do some sightseeing instead of paying a cab $30. This would have been great if I could navigate and Mark liked driving in heavy CA traffic. Long story short we ended up bringing the car back after an hour because of the frustration of driving in this busy area! :) The rental car guys felt bad for us and only charged us for an hour rental instead of the day. I highly recommend Enterprise Car Rentals if you need one, they were great!
Anton traveled so well! He slept 3 out of the 4 plane rides and when he was awake he was happy! Mark and I were so thankful for this, it would be highly stressful for me to have a crying baby and no where to go on the plane! Hopefully he travels this well when we go to Washington D.C. in two weeks.
