Finally home from the @nhsjc in Boston. I had the best time connecting with adviser friends, attending and presenting sessions, and having so much fun with my students in a new favorite city.

We dined at High Street Place and returned to Quincy Market where we got some final souvenirs, enjoyed live music and had quite the dance party. We never want to leave Boston! @nhsjc

[Julia Walker @Walker_OW]

It’s our last night in Boston for the @nhsjc! After spending the day in sessions, we headed out to the harbor to throw some tea in there just as the revolutionists did.

@ManeStMirror @nhsjc @kspaonline @OlatheCTE @OlatheWestOwls @OWNovacekOWLS Those things were WELL FED! Sorry I missed you!

[Julia Walker @Walker_OW]

First stop: Boston Common where we admired the fattest pigeons we’ve ever seen and saw where some pretty significant people of the revolution are buried.

[Julia Walker @Walker_OW]

Wouldn’t be a trip to the North End without stopping by Mike’s for cannolis!
