Bay Area San Francisco

I went down to Stanford with a group from OSPI. What a gorgeous campus. Had fun with the Washington educators. Then had the chance to catch up with some old friends- the Hentons and Polly Bolling.

Trip to Austin Texas

I went to the Education Commission for the States conference in Austin Texas. The conference was great and it was nice to feel a bit of hot sun. We stayed at a hotel that was way out of town- it cost $25 to take a taxi in but the bus was only a buck. The Univ of Texas campus is HUGE and covers most of downtown Austin. I saw the LBJ Library and the Blanton Art museum on the UT campus and then wandered downtown. Had dinner with a new friend from the conference and took a boat out to watch a million bats fly out at dusk from under a bridge.
