Person and I went to the ExploraVision Awards Gala tonight. Miss Heather - one of Person's Friends - was one of the judges and invited Person and I as her guests. A bunch of her Einstein Fellow Friends were there, too. Dinner was FABULOUS - we had a really delicious 4-course vegetarian meal!
We saw all kinds of neat people there. The Japanese Ambassador to the United States, the Chairman of the Board for Toshiba, the President of the National Science Teachers Association, the White House Deputy Director for Policy of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Bill Nye the Science Guy all spoke to us. They were all interesting, but some of them talked WAY too much (we thought the Science Guy would NEVER stop). After the students got their awards, a bunch of confetti cannons shots TONS of paper and sparkly things all over us - we felt like such a celebrity!
Our week has been VERY exciting, and we have a super-fun weekend planned. We'll take lots of pictures, of course, and will tell you all about it!
