I&#8217;ll put together more details later, but for now, have a look at a few of the highlights. I didn&#8217;t take as many photos as I thought I did. Madison Parker was the &#8220;official&#8221; photographer, and I&#8217;ll be relying on her photos to round out my own experiences. She had a much better camera!<\/p>\n<p>I will add that the organizers did a fantastic job yet again. Everything ran smoothly&#8211;at least from my perspective, and I know they did a lot of work to make it seem that way. Despite the issues with the hotel, the retreat itself was wonderful and I can&#8217;t wait to sign up for next year!<\/p>\n<p>CLICK on any photo for a larger version.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3129\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_001.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3129\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3129\" alt=\"On the approach to ATL.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_001.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_001.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_001.jpg?resize=150%2C112 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_001.jpg?w=640 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3129\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the approach to ATL.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3131\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_023.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3131\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3131\" alt=\"GRL2013_023\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_023.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_023.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_023.jpg?resize=150%2C112 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.emlynley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/GRL2013_023.jpg?w=640 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the Atlanta History Museum.
