In the midst of her blogging frenzy, Kasiah seems to have forgotten the trip to Dallas that Lacy, my mom, and I took during the middle of June - so I'm here to fill ''ya'll'' in. The conference we attended was originally supposed to be in May, but had to be rescheduled due to the swine flu. So, even one month later, we were still able to enjoy the sweltering heat, mind numbing humidity, and the company of our friends from across the nation. We got see the Sixth Floor Museum (where Kennedy was shot), become honorary Texans, visit the Dallas World Aquarium (where there is way more than just fish.....we saw sharks, sea turtles, and got pooped on by birds), and go to SIX FLAGS.
Oh, and we also placed eighth nationwide in our Economic Research Team event. But the competition was just an excuse to get us to Texas :)
