T minus 20 hours

The countdown is on! Teachers in CS/Bryan will pull out at 4 am Sunday morning (June 8, 2013) and then pick up the teachers in Navasota and be on the road again by 4:20 am headed to the airport! I am getting very excited about this trip as I research the sites we will be visiting.  I am looking forward to spending time with teachers from Bryan, College Station, and Navasota who all share a love of history as I do!

Ever notice that when you are planning a trip it seems as if you are more attuned to the name of the cities when mentioned on the news? This morning I heard them mention something about a 'craze' in New York. I gave the television my full attention at this point since I will be in NY next week. So what do you get when you cross a croissant with a donut??  As the reporter smashed them together my first thought was "a mess"! Then she proceeded to introduce the 'Cronut'! A Cronut, really? Apparently, they are such a popular treat that people stand in line to get them from a certain bakery in NY. They have been around less than a month and are already trademarked. Which means I will probably not get to partake of one of the delicacies. Sad!

Note to teachers going! I posted a tab at the top with a few apps I found that you might be interested in downloading. Some are guides to various places we will be visiting! All but one of them is free!
