Last week I headed to Springfield, Illinois, with my work bestie Jenny to the National ESP conference. It was a nicely done conference, and connecting Extension work by to our history, including Abraham Lincoln was brilliant. I have been in Extension for 14 years, and that grounding was just what I needed.
On top of lots of professional development sessions, we got to visit the Lincoln museum and the Lincoln family home in Springfield. Our hotel was located downtown, and I got to run by these things in the morning too. Very cool town, and on Route 66 to boot!
Alex's last football halftime show was on Thursday, and I made it back in time to see it. Their show all season has been Route 66 themed because it is the 100th anniversary of the famous highway. I ran along the route and sent a picture to Al! He thought that was pretty cool.
Thanks, Jenny, for being my travel buddy!

| On my morning run was the Capitol of Illinois and the historical capitol. As well as the Lincoln law office and home in Springfield. Very cool! |
