I just got back from a 10 day teacher training in WI. It was both exciting and exhausting, but I really learned a lot and am very glad I went. The hardest part was being away from Michael for that long, I really missed him.
My mom and I flew into the Minneapolis airport, and then drove 3 1/2 hours to Stevens Point, WI (The city of the Suzuki Institute). Needless to say, GPS on cell phones is the greatest invention... we drove straight there, no problem. (Something that would not have happened had we been on our own). It was a small little town, not much to do but check out the local eaterys here and there. It was ok though, because we didn't have much time to explore. The teacher training was from Sunday til Sunday, and in that time we had 28 hours of lecture & 15 hours of observing harp lessons. It was a long week, but I'm so glad I did it. It was very informative and inspiring, I am completely converted to the suzuki method.
When driving back to Minneapolis we passed some really neat looking barns, it's farm country out there. When we got to the city we just had to go to Mall of America. It was so big, unbelievably amazing. There is an entire amusement park in the center of the mall.
My mom and I had a great time, but it's so great to be back! Dorothy said it best, "There's no place like home."
