This was out our hotel room door. It was a chalet style hotel, which I think is a fancy way to say motel, since there were exterior doors? There were also interior doors. The conference center was nice, but the rooms could use some updating!
Me & my book at the top of the Arch! Huckleberry Finn & me both on the Mississippi River!
The Gateway Arch! It looks much taller when you get up close....
The views from both sides. The river was flooded because of all the rain.
Us at the top! And the guy in the back might be the guy we met from Holland on the way up. He was biking along Route 66. Crazy!
This is me and author Cynthia Lord. She has written many children's books & won a Newbury Honor Medal for her book called Rules. It was awesome listening to her speak!
Mr. Schu is an amazing librarian near Chicago. He is also very influential in the library world and knows far more about books than me!
Donalyn Miller has written two of the most influential books on reading that I've ever read. It was great to hear from her!
This is called a Jackhammer. It is a custard blizzard, with hot fudge through the center. It was amazing!
Speaking of amazing, this is the best pizza I've had in a long time.
The pizza place was called Deweys! Perfect for a couple of librarians...even if we don't use Dewey.
We also went to a sculpture park. This eyeball was by far the coolest sculpture we saw. The park was huge and had lots of trails, so we just stayed on the main lawn. This was our first stop! It's so cool!
And my favorite summer thing: late nights with a book and a cup of tea.
