My first NABJ convention


I was initially bored with my Friday during the 2011 NABJ convention in Philadelphia because my Mommy was busy with the elections. She did a lot of "shh Torie" in the elections room while I played my DS, but she snuck in a couple of forehead kisses so that I knew she wasn't ignoring me. Everyone was so serious, but I had fun playing with my virtual dogs on my DS, they make me giggle. Everywhere I went that day around the convention center people gave me candy or sweets. It was the coolest! Mommy was so busy that she didn't see everything that I ate.

By the time we got through all the elections results and press meeting, I was confused because I thought Mommy was running. Her and Miss Melanie did all that work and then they don't even win anything -- I don't understand.

But then I was TOO excited about the night's Disney party because I was hoping to meet the real Mickey Mouse. But yet another disappointment, no Mickey, no Minnie, not even Goofy. But I got a cool Disney wrist band that lights up and Mommy gave me hers to give to my cousin-friend Raemeer. The best part was when a very cute guy got me to dance on the floor. Mommy wanted to go, but this was the best part of the WHOLE day.

Thanks NABJ -- on to Nawlins next year!
