I really like going to Philly. It's a fun town with plenty to see and lots of great things to eat. On this trip I did some of each. Each night it seemed there was something going on and a delicious place to eat. The diet certainly took a beating during my week in Pennsylvania. Good thing I hit the hotel gym or else I would have ballooned recently.
A few of my favorite events from the trip:
- The ISTE Affiliates Meeting: this was one of the primary reasons I went to the conference this year. As the President of the local affiliate, it was my responsibility to attend the national meeting and learn from the other state representatives. I am very excited for our conference in March!
- Taking the ferry across the Delaware River and into Camden, NJ. This was the capstone of my trip from 2005. Back then I spent a lot of money and time trying to find a way to Jersey for a geocache and I came up empty. This time I had to get a geocache in New Jersey and this was the best way to make it happen. It was a fun little trip and we were able to find two caches along the Camden Promenade.
- Geno's vs. Pat's: On Sunday night I ate a Philly cheesesteak from each place and I have to say the winner is - Pat's. Don't get me wrong, they were both awesome. I ate at Geno's with the rest of my group and took the Pat's sandwich back to the hotel with me. Even with it being a little cold I like the Pat's sandwich better. Don't hate me!
- Watching the Red Sox - I can't believe I got to see them again. That makes 4 our 7 years. Wow!!!
- Presenting at ISTE: This trip gave me another opportunity to present in front of a national audience. It never gets old and in my line of work, it's a huge honor to share with my colleagues. Our presentation on iPads went well and I hope we'll get another chance to present in the future.
