2017 NCFCA National Championship, St. Paul, MN

Ok so just a disclaimer, this will be a typical 'Ellen' post: unorganized, random, completely un-coherent, and a picture overload.  So, congrats if you get to the end!!!!!  (I just know you're saying 'Challenge accepted') 😉
Without further ado, here we go!!!

The drive there was ok.  It was a BEAUTIFUL drive but it rained pretty much the whole time.  Great time to catch up on sleep!!!! 😆😝

These are from the opening social/hangout time.  Northwestern's campus is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Mornings are NOT my friend......😳
There are some BEAUTIFUL and old buildings on the Northwestern campus!!!
OPENING CEREMONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FOOD.  Let me tell you, the food was AMAZING.
It was worth the long line......
Late night selfies......😜

Crowded rooms......
