This was my first teacher blogger meet up and it won't be my last! My good friend Amanda
Pauley at Mrs. Pauley's Kindergarten invited me to go with her! It was a six hour drive for us up to French Lick, Indiana but it seemed like one! We had such great conversation!

The first night we met in smaller groups and enjoyed a quiet dinner...yeah right! We dragged all the tables together, pissed off the waitress (which wasn't too hard), and yelled over an obnoxious band playing in the background!
Then off to the "light show!" Yep! This is the light show! Ohh Ahh!
The building is beautiful!
I love spending time with my blogging bestie!
