BBC Char Recap Part Two

This post contains affiliate links.

Sorry for the cliffhanger yesterday!! I just couldn’t get all of this into one post!! Again, today promises to be another picture overloaded post!

Saturday morning we woke up super early to get pretty for BBC and then we went to Bojangles for breakfast! I had heard of the infamous Bojangles through Allie and Allison but had never tried it before.  Well ya’ll, they took my Boj virginity and I liked it!! If you love chicken and cajun food then The Boj is definitely for you!!

After breakfast we went back to the hotel just in time for registration and Brew Over Ice!!! Brew Over Ice was one of the sponsors for BBC and had a Keurig brewing station set up where we could make our own Iced Coffee, Flavored Snapple Teas, or Lemonade. Ya’ll know I went straight for the Iced Coffee first thing!

After I got my coffee we girls goofed off a little taking pics…we are bloggers you know!

Then, the sessions started. Oh, the sessions!!! I learned sooooo much and go to hear so many amazing women speak!! I wish I could share with you every single thing I learned but then that would take the fun out of you attending a conference. I will share with you some of the things I learned but that will come in another post!

When we broke for lunch I got sit with Allie and Allison. Did I mention we had assigned seating during the first half of the conference? It was kind of fun because I met bloggers that I would never have met otherwise.

Lunch…

Being the hungry bad blogger that I am, I forgot to take a pic of my lunch! OOPS!!

It was sponsored by Brew Over Ice and was yummy!

After lunch we got to hear the fabulous duo of Tiffany Romero and Fran Banducci speak. She is a blogging superstar. I can only hope to be like them one day.

During the last speakers Salsarita’s sponsored a snack of chips, salsa, guac, and all of the fixings!! It was super yummy and again, I failed to get a pic!! Bad Ricci!!

After the conference was over Mirrasou sponsored a cocktail party!! They seriously had the BEST Moscato I have ever tasted!!

We also got a picture with one of my blogging idols…

Post cocktail party we needed food so we went to a local Salsarita’s and used our giftcards we got in our swag bags!! Salsarita’s was yummy!!!

 

After Salsarita’s we got ice cream at Chick-fil-a and went back to the hotel to hang out. We stayed up waaaaay too late talking and went to bed. It was kind of bittersweet going to sleep that night knowing we would all be going home the next day.

The next morning we woke up and planned to go to brunch at a pancake place but it had a 45 minute wait and since Rebekah and I were driving 12 hours home that day we chose to goto McDonald’s instead. Such a classy bunch we are…

That was our last group pic. Sad day.

We parted ways and Allie and Allison went back to Raleigh and Jenn, Rebekah, and I went to Atlanta to drop Jenn off and then head back to Arkansas.

The drive home went pretty fast considering how far we had to go. We talked blog stuff the whole way home!! Rebekah and I were so inspired by BBC Charlotte we signed up for the 2 day BBC Dallas in November!! I can’t wait!!!!
