The One without Justin

Justin is attending Pittcon (another conference for chemists) in Orlando this week.  He left last Friday and won't be home until late tomorrow night.
 I miss him :(

The One about London Baby!!

Yesterday Jennifer (my research advisor) popped her head in my office and asked if I had a passport.  Why yes, yes I do.  In fact I have a 4 year old but never been used passport.  I got it after my best friend Misha returned from her mission to Italy and we planned a trip to go back.  Unfortunately, we didn't end up going but I'm grateful that I have it now because I get to go to London!!


 
Jennifer has been invited to attend a small (as in exclusive) conference in Manchester in May and is taking me and another group member, Cara, with her!!  I am sooooo excited.  It's been a whirlwind already.  We found out about the opportunity yesterday and bought the tickets today!  Cara and I are going 2 days early and staying an extra day after the conference to do a little sightseeing.  As Joey Tribbiani would say, "London Baby!!!!!"
 
 

Oh and another really cool thing- we're staying in a castle.  Peckforton Castle.  Don't hate me :)




Sorry about the not-so-great pictures.  They're all I could find in a quick internet search.  Hopefully I'll have even better pictures when I get back.  Can't wait for May!!
