Follow Our Travels

We started this blog while we were getting ready for the World Festival in Atlanta in 2010 so that our FLL friends could take the trip with us - virtually, of course!

Now we're using this site to share our "travels" as the FLL World Champions with fellow FLLers! We can share our ideas, advice and experiences to help spread the good news about FLL!

On the Road on a Patent Search!

As part of our patent-oriented trip to Washington, DC, we visited Thomas Edison's Research Laboratory in West Orange, NJ on the way back. It is a National Park which had been closed for years but reopened about a year ago. It is awesome and right now you get to use an audio player which gives you a great tour with interesting background information about the whole exhibit for free. Kids under 16 are free and adults are only $7.

Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents and many of his inventions are on display. Park rangers give great tours of different buildings and can answer any question inquiring minds (like ours) want to know! Check out our slideshow for an inside look!
