A week of adventures in WASHINGTON, D.C. for Jason and Liz!
Between meeting other
State Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Secretaries
from across the country,
finding the best frozen yogurt shop in the world,
and voting on which issues would come to delegate committees
at National Convention, the week seemed to fly by!

Between meeting other
State Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Secretaries
from across the country,
finding the best frozen yogurt shop in the world,
and voting on which issues would come to delegate committees
at National Convention, the week seemed to fly by!
Here are my TOP 10 HIGHLIGHTS from SPC, 2010.
1.) Visiting my favorite city for the 5th time in my life.
2.) Gallavanting around DC with State Officers from Nebraska and New York while stopping by the National Archives, Air and Space Museum, and Natural History Museum - as well as taking some pretty legit pictures!
3.) Finding the best frozen yogurt shop in the world, Fro-Zen-Yo, and visiting it twice more before heading home.
5.) Attending my first professional baseball game that did not involve the Minnesota Twins - Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves!
6.) Hitting up Capitol Hill and having the chance to visit with Representatives Walz, Bachman, and aides from Oberstar and Peterson's offices.
7.) Watching Addy zip around on a Segway!
8.) Voting on issues that will now come before delegate committees at National Convention (see below)!
10.) Touring DC at night and watching
fireworks over the Potomac from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial - SO awesome!
All in all, a great week!
I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity
to revisit my favorite city, this time with Addy and Jason.
Minnesota FFA members, get excited for National Convention!
Big things are happening within our organization
and members like you and I are filled with
INFINITE POTENTIAL.
