Stella in Radford (and Wasserhund)

I'm pretty sure The Innovative Library Classroom at Radford University is the last library conference I'll be taking Stella to! But it was fun, and very informative, and Radford is beautiful!

This was actually at the end of our trip, but we stopped at the same scenic view
on the side of I-64 to see the Blue Ridge Mountains. (We did this on the way back
from Roanoke, as you may recall... What can I say? I don't see a lot of mountains
around Virginia Beach.)

Mountain selfie!

Pretty lawns at Radford University... Trying to get a bunch of photos
before it starts to rain! We barely made it.

Their library is so gorgeous! And big! Can you see Stella on the stairs?

We found the Alumni Gardens next to the library

Walking around the Alumni Gardens

Radford U has quite a few outdoor sculptures on campus

This sculpture and the next one were in the same
area of lawn, with a sign designating it a sculpture garden

Stella got her own bed in the hotel

Stella, what are you doing? You aren't coffee; get out of there.

You may remember our Wasserhund Brewery growler... Right after we got home
from Radford, we took a friend to Wasserhund for Friday the 13th lunch.
She got a few flight tastes, and the glasses are just Stella's size!

New Horizons Conference

Stella and I have had a loooooong day! We got up at 4:30am and left Virginia Beach just after 5am, drove across Virginia lengthwise, and arrived at our hotel in Roanoke at about 9:45am. Then we hopped a shuttle to the conference hotel and attended our first day of New Horizons, a conference for all the community colleges in Virginia.

We got there just in time for the box lunch.
While we ate, we studied the program to decide
which sessions to attend.

This is the little digital sign for MY session!
If you can't read it, it's The iPad-Based Library Classroom.
After hearing about it, Stella is excited to see the actual
classroom when we go back to work on Monday!

Diligently taking notes during today's
keynote session about student success.

I think now, we need some room service and junk TV in our hotel room, and an early bedtime!!!
