Those of you that follow me on Twitter or Instagram know I was at a conference at Gillette Stadium last week with some of my co-workers.
First, let me say - the parts of the stadium you don't usually get to see during a game are gorgeous! I was skeptical when I heard that we'd have approximately 500 people at the stadium for the conference, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The marketing, sales, security and catering staff are pretty darn awesome!
Now, let me tell you a little of the back story... We were supposed to load up my car at 6 AM and be at Gillette by 7 or so. Around 5:30 AM, we realized that no one had keys to the office. Don't look at me like that! I'm not the one that had lost their keys days before cough *Eric* cough. After lots of calling around (and an attempt to wake up my cousin/co-worker Kristin at 5:50 AM), we finally got in and were only marginally late.

Great views of the field (and the occasional football and soccer player)

Max and I having a little fun. :-)
Stephen, Max and Eric (l-r) By the end of the day, our team was exhausted to the point of "jazz hands" or almost tears. The boys are a liiiitle hyper, so I might have chosen tears too. *giggle* (Note: Max wasn't actually crying, just making faces.)
Before our next conference (a two day affair), I'm demanding a raise. Or more coffee... Yeah, probably just the coffee.
