Friday in Billsburg

Here we are at Williamsburg - Fall 2007 MARAC Meeting. Currently the plenary session has just gotten underway and I have pushed MARAC and getting involved to the members of the Pennsylvania caucus. The organization is also rolling out a new fundraising plan at this meeting, "35 for 35." MARAC is celebrating its 35th anniversary at this meeting and the Development Committee has decided to start this campaign with a push to double the MARAC endowment. Watch this space for more news!

So on Tuesday evening, the Brave Astronaut family passed an uneventful trip traveling to Williamsburg, checking into our time share. Wednesday, as previously discussed, I played 18 holes of golf at Williamsburg National Golf Club. J in PA and I had a great time on a great course and posted scores that we were not ashamed of. After that we met up with our respective spouses for a lunch at Chowinings Tavern in the historic area. After that the Brave Astronaut family went back to the time share for some pool time. Little Brave Astronaut likes the water.

On Thursday morning, we decided to go see the "Giant Heads!" at President's Park. I might have to post some pictures when the film comes back. We taught little brave astronaut to say "Giant Heads" so he spent much of the time looking at the "Giant Heads." Thursday afternoon was consumed with meetings, culminating with the marathon steering committee meeting. Mrs. Brave Astronaut and I got back to our time share about 11:00pm, heading to be in time to be back here at the hotel (in the lobby with the free wi-fi) for our 8:00 meetings.

My session is this afternoon and hopefully there will be more to report later!
