Road trip updates

 Okay if you've followed along with my last few blog posts then you know that my family is on a roadtrip through the eastern portion of the United States. My dad being the history buff decided that this upcoming Fourth of July should be spent learning more about American history, while also touring presidential homes. Of course in true #dailydunks fashion, I will be including pictures of what we ate. 


Pennsylvania and Virginia were by far the highlights of our trip and had the most occur there. 


Virginia 

-Visited Charlottesville, Thomas Jefferson's home Monticello, James Madison's home Montpelier, and James Monroe's home. 

                               


-Ate so much good food. Restaurants are labeled beneath the pictures


 

The Whiskey Jar, Charlottesville VA                           The Virginian, Charlottesville VA


Pennsylvania

-Visited 2 Phillies ballparks (one minor league, one major league), briefly stopped at Gettysburg, Mount Vernon, and the Daniel Boone homesite.

-Since my dad is from this area we ate at our usual local favorites and with our family members we were visiting. We did stop at the Plum Creek Market for ice cream and believe me when I say we went back everyday for something while we were in town.

Mom it's not a phase

 I was reading an article the other day about how parents of children feel that the internet is a completely environment than when they were kids. Personally I'd have to say that they're right. The internet has expanded and evolved into a giant. It is always changing and growing with the users that interact with it. In this day and age people can log on to their computers and search anything and everything, with instantaneous results. That type of instant gratification is unmatched, especially once it becomes part of your daily routine. Kids today are so used to immediately being able to find answers, and it isn't always a bad thing. With my students, I stress the importance of quality information over quantity, as well as using the internet for productivity. I also am required to discuss online safety and netiquette with them, which is definitely a huge thing especially since the majority of my students have social media apps such as tiktok, instagram, twitter, etc.  I oft...

Some people use this to represent their relationship's progression, others use it to show their progression (or lack of) with a skill. The beauty of this meme is that the second image really doesn't even need to make sense. It is literally there to let the viewer take whatever their own meaning is.  For this challenge show us the start of your summer vs now! Some inspiration below:
