Kinect Call

Today was another busy day of sessions, continuing relationships, and making new friends. My little turtle feet were very tired by the end of the day!

I was pleasantly surprised that Microsoft gave all of us a free Kinect device today. It is a new technical toy that Microsoft wants us to play around with ;) Thankful as a turtle I didn't pack much in my luggage so there should be enough room to bring it back home!

I would have to say one of my "highs" for today is that Daddy got to read you all a bedtime story tonight over Skype on his iPhone! We enjoyed seeing you all. You didn't see me, but I was taking a napping in Daddy's pocket.

Tomorrow Daddy will be presenting his session on "Good JavaScript Practices for C# Developers". It will be at 3:30pm CST. Please remember to pray for him if you can.

We love and miss you all very much!

Vegas at Night

So our hotel room is on the 8th floor of the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. There are 16 floors in this building! The above picture is from our hotel room.

Today was a full day at the conference. I attended some great sessions and met a lot of new people. I still haven't met another turtle, but it is part of what makes me unique at this conference.

Daddy was on TV today? Were you able to see him? If not, I think it was recorded so you can watch later. Mike took the above picture while he was talking.

I hope you are all doing well today! Did you do anything fun today? We love you all ;) Goodnight!

Sky Mall Magazine

I just got on a plane in Denver, Colorado headed towards Las Vegas, Nevada.

Daddy introduced me to this wonderful magazine full of interesting and bizarre (that is a fancy for for "strange") gadgets!

I noticed this strange metal helmet as shown in the above picture. Do you think it will help Daddy's headaches any? Probably not, but it sure does look funny ;)

How are you all doing? I saw pictures of you all having a special Peter the Rabbit picnic our living room! Too bad it was raining outside, but it sure looked like you were having fun ;)

Daddy gave up his seat so a Mommy could sit with her two daughters on the way to Denver. We ended up getting a middle seat, but it wasn't all that bad. The stewardess (that's a fancy word for an airplane waiter) thanked Daddy and let us watch free tv on the plane.

We miss you all and hope you are doing well. Mommy says that there were some tornado warnings in Nashville. We prayed for your safety and trust the God will keep protect you while we are away.

Las Vegas Here I Come

Well, I'm about to get on a plane for Las Vegas, Nevada! This will be my first trip to Vegas. I wonder if there are other turtles there? Daddy says that he doesn't ever remember seeing turtles there, but I'm crossing my little green toes ;)

Daddy says that he misses you all already even though it's only been a couple hours since we left for the airport.

Our plane will first land in Denver, Colorado for a short layover and then we will head the rest of the way to Las Vegas.

Mommy can show you these places on the map for you to see. Maybe you can pretend you are flying too in your airplane or helicopter?

On My Way Home

Yeah, we are on our way back home! You can see the map of the plane traveling across the country below.

Our first leg of the trip was pretty rough. We left at 11:00pm and flew into Atlanta, GA at 7:00am. We are now on the plane to Nashville!

Daddy and I are almost home ;) We miss you all so much!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Today was pretty exciting. We had many more sessions that we attended.

I was asked to be a guest on a podcast by Scott Hanselman. You can think of a podcast kind of like a radio program. The show should be available sometime next week.

It was great to talk to you all and see your beautiful faces over skype video on my iPhone. That was one of my "Highs" for the day!

At the end of the day we went to the stadium where the Seattle Mariners baseball team play. The above picture is of the stadium and the following picture is of a band that was playing in the middle of the field.

I look forward to seeing you all again very soon. My plane leaves really late tomorrow night. I'll be flying through the night and into the morning. Thankfully there will be lots of room for me to sleep on the plane ;)

Ballmer and a Moose

Today we went to a lot more sessions. The picture above is from the keynote talk by the CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer. It was good to hear from him an his vision for the future.

It turns out that I wasn't the only animal present at the event, there was a Moose! The moose is the mascot for the Mariners baseball team here in Seattle and since we are going to have a party at the baseball stadium he came to get us excited ;)

The rest of the day I got to meet many new people and reconnect with friends I've made last year or have developed online.

I miss you all very much! Daddy is looking forward to coming home soon.
