Visiting with Allison

Me and Allison.... this was after Courts and I got stuck in the rain :(
Very amazed at the lack of peace signs... maybe it's just a Durham thing!
So sweet!
Totally in my element!!!

Answering questions from the students

Courtney and I went to Baltimore to stay with my cousin Allison. She teaches 3rd grade in a school very similar to the one we teach at in Durham. It was so much fun to visit with Allison. The first night we got there we went to dinner at the cutest little restaraunt called "One Eyed Mike's." She lives in the heart of the city and we were able to walk to the places we went. On Thursday we got to visit her school and I got to read to her students. It was really interesting to see that even though we live in different states we have a lot of the same problems in our schools and with our students. It was very refreshing to find that we are not alone!
