hershey, pa. living the dream.

finally, all those years in college and working in DC have paid off! i got to come to a conference in hershey, pa. all expenses trip paid to stay in the sweet hershey hotel and eat all the free chocolate i can get my hands on. i'm only here for like 30 hours, but it's still a dream come true for me.

we flew in last night at 2am from utah, and i left my house at 10am to drive up to pennsylvania. i'm a little tired of being on the road, except that i don't really care because it is literally 100 degrees and the humidity is out of control in DC and guess whose apartment window AC is performing subpar? so i don't mind at all staying in lovely air conditioned hotel rooms, and by the time i come back to dc, the weather is supposed to drop down to the mid-eighties. i can deal with mid-eighties.

utah was just the most delightful breath of fresh air. we had a great time. mei and dave got married. we played with family. we rode the bobsled on the olympic track (aii!!). we ate entirely at 3 out of the 4 diners, drives and dumps or whatever that show is and we felt STUFFED by the time we left. it was the perfect vacation, really. will report with pictures soon.

now i have to go eat chocolate-dipped something and drink chocolate-laced something. and then fall asleep in a chocolate induced coma. hooray.
