I spent the past few days in Williamsburg for the state social studies conference for K-12 educators. Three colleagues and I attended together and found it to be informative AND a fun time away together. I chose to attend sessions that focused on assessment, teaching methods that include differentiation strategies, and ways to incorporate the use of technology into the classroom. I'll need to find time to process the vast amounts of information that came my way during those sessions.
Friday evening we went out to eat at a Thai restaurant near the hotel and conference center. I chose to have one of their specials for the evening, red curry with pumpkin. Sounded good to me! Here's what I got:

I was able to eat only about half of this, as we had enjoyed a few appetizers before the huge pumpkin arrived. It was good though!
But even better was this:
We wanted some ice cream or frozen yogurt after our Thai dinner, so we drove into downtown Williamsburg and happened upon this locally owned yogurt shop. The yogurt was delicious, and the owner is passionate about what she does. I had blackberry yogurt swirled with original tart flavor, topped with strawberries, pineapple, and pomegranate seeds that were extracted from the pomegranate on site. Delicious, stupendous, out-of-this-world yogurt! Go there if you're ever in Williamsburg or nearby.
