DENVER!

I just flew back from Denver, CO last night!
My school sent me to the ISTE conference with 20,000 other educators from all over the world! This is a technology conference that takes place every summer in cities all over the US. I'm fortunate enough to teach at a charter school whose focus is on technology. I was one of 20 people that got to go from our schools. I know that I am lucky!!!

I learned a TON and had a lot of fun too! We stayed at the Sheraton downtown and were walking distance from the Denver Convention Center and all kinds of GREAT local restaurants! We ate a LOT of great food this week!
Here are some pictures from this trip...

Downtown Denver!

Moby and Me!
If you are a teacher and know about BrainPopJr... You know (and love) Moby!

Down the center of the main road in downtown denver there were pianos, lots of pianos. There were always tourists and beggars playing the pianos, too. It was pretty neat to see the pianos in all their artistic glory right there in the middle of the street!

I had to get in on the action! - I know 2 songs, ya know!

Cinnfull Pancake, Strawberry Margarita Pancake, Sweet Potato Pancake
These pancakes are from a restaurant named "Snooze" off the beaten path in Denver. It had a variety of interesting breakfast choices with many pancake options. The Sweet Potato one was my favorite!

Outside on the 5th floor by the pool! Soaking up those moon rays!

I had to eat at Sam's! YUM!

Overall it was a GREAT trip!!! Next stop... San Diego, CA!
