Hello to Anna

Hi Anna!

My plane ride was LONG, but just fine. We watched a movie on the way out here and then I read a book and ate a blueberry muffin!

We got to Seattle at 11:30 Seattle time, but 1:30 NJ time. We were hungry and tired from sitting so long. It took us about an hour to get to our hotel and then we walked 3 blocks to the convention center and registered for the conference. When you register, they give you a backpack with the NAIS logo on it, a poster, a water bottle, a list of all the people at the conference, a list of all the workshops, speakers and classes, maps and a gift card for Starbucks Coffee! I will show it to you when I get back.

It is cold out here and they are expecting it to SNOW tonight! I am hoping that this is one time that the meteorologist is WRONG! We brought winter coats, hats and gloves though, so we should be nice and warm! I ate the most delicious mushroom soup for lunch and bought some great tea bags!!

I will do more things tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing lots of my friends that I taught with from Manhattan and NJ, and friends that I went to graduate school with. I hope to get to the aquarium on Thursday or Friday. I'll tell you more tomorrow!

Thanks for the blog message! I miss you too! Say hi to mom for me, and thank her for helping out with the bake sale on Friday! More tomorrow!
Love,
Ms. SW
