Why is this called KWash on GWash...well guess who is going to Mount Vernon again? Yup me. Just less than 4 weeks of workshops this time and maybe more fun if I am lucky. So what will my summer look like after I leave school on June 23 by noon?
June 28 to June 2: Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History - The International Impact of the Declaration of Independence at Univ. of Virginia.
July 18 to July 23: National Endowment for the Humanities - America's Industrial Revolution at the Henry Ford in Dearborn, MI.
July 27 to July 30: Library of Congress Teacher Workshop in Washington, DC.
and of course
August 1 to 7: George Washington Teachers' Institute at Mount Vernon. And if I may inflate my ego for a bit, they claim I was unanimously chosen. Ego trip done.
I get a stipend for 2 and get a travel allowance for the others. Cats will probably go with me to MI and DC, but will have to find a kennel for Mount Vernon since we are staying on the grounds. Yeah, I can see some drama with that. Cats+American heirlooms=bad. Anyone know non-budget breaking places in No. Virginia/DC?
Well that is it for now. Funny how school kills my ability to blog...interesting.
