Family vacation

My family visited me last weekend and we had a great time. My dad even said it may be the best family vacation we've ever had, in part, because I already knew where everything was and how to get there so there was no getting lost and frustrated. Also, I made an impeccable schedule to maximize our time and fun.

We went to the zoo, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Gallery of Art and Georgetown Cupcake. They had a hard time believing the cupcakes would be good enough to justify waiting in line for half an hour, but they definitely were. I don't even usually like cupcakes, but Georgetown Cupcakes are an entirely different breed. The only thing better was the cupcake I had at Magnolia Bakery in New York with the girls, which, as you can tell from Megan's blog post, I loved.

New York trip

I'll be leaving the office soon and spending my evening packing for our trip to New York. Our train leaves tomorrow morning and I am not at all prepared.

We're spending four days and three nights in New York at the Marriott Marquis on Times Square.
The purspose of the trip is for us to attend the College Media Advisers spring convention. The convention is held in the hotel and we'll have the opportunity to take short journalism classes on a variety of topics from how to use multimedia to how to get a job. We'll also have time to enjoy the city and do some sightseeing.
