Landing in Paradise

Hi Everyone!

So when I touched down in Minneapolis this afternoon I was expecting chilly temps. What I wasn't expecting was *snow*. Good thing I brought my winter jacket. Yay for Spring Break!!! 

On that note- Minneapolis is such a wonderful town. For dinner I took a stroll to the near by Jazz Bar, Dakota's. Great food, fun atmosphere! I definitely recommend it to my fellow convention go-ers. After dinner, I attended the NEHS speaker presentation, none other than my high school author crush... Chris Crutcher. (See below)


I was so excited to hear him speak again. He spoke at my high school when I was a sophomore, and although it's been five years since I've seen him, I still feel like that dazed and confused sophomore sitting in the front row (just not as confused). It was a real treat to hear him speak again. 

Tomorrow the real fun kicks off though! So I'm going to get a jump start on my beauty sleep. 

Night friends!
