Hi Derek,
I wasn't part of the date decision process, but I know there were 
conflicts on many other weeks.  In case it helps, maybe you could have a 
family vacation weekend in Chicago?  :)  Just a suggestion since my wife 
and 1 year old came along last year.  During the retreat there wasn't 
much free time, but Saturday and Mother's day you'd have plenty of time. 
  It would probably depend on if your family doesn't mind the traveling.

And if your travel is paid for, you'd only have to pay for an extra 
hotel night or two (and if flying, your wife's and maybe your kid's 
plane ticket).

Anyway, just thought I'd suggest it in case it helps, but sorry about 
the inconvenience.
Eric
