Manhattan Immersion

Welcome back to Baltimore Earthlings!

So Manhattan Immersion is over for 2007. It was quite the trip. For those of you who had to do SAT's. We deeply regret leaving you behind.
Thus this post is dedicated to those who didn't experience the best weekend ever.
Well, one of the best weekends ever.

The winners of this years trip were:
Matt and Jenn Seda, Tim Logsdon, Alex Basalyga, JT Wojtowicz and Claire Maisel.
Runner ups: (although some could dispute and claim winners due to creativity points)
Jordan and Jessica Ross, Greg Hayes, Tyler Rees, Matt Neal, Josh Danko and Tim Hayes
And last but not least:
Jim Beachley, Jon Basalyga, Addie Beachley, Erika Houston, Caitlyn Danko and Amy B.

Highlights of the trip.
1. Mars 2112. A restaurant a la Chucky Cheese style but a Mars theme, a place that looked a lot like an 80's Sci-Fi movie set gone bad. (Ever seen Total Recall?)
But it had its perks. The glowing red light everywhere, the balloons littering the ceiling and the $2 entrance fee.
2. A new winner this year! Jim Beachley's team unfortunately lost both their clue sheets and couldn't finish the race. Instead they went shopping an entertained themselves by pretending to win.
3. Matt Neal last comic standing routine that kept us guessing and laughing!
4. Tim Keller's sermon was nothing short of stellar!
5. Watching each group Moo like a cow in the middle of a busy intersection while they stared admiringly at an old building.
6. Listening to Amy Beachley for some reason ramble on about Alexander Hamilton. That was weird.
7. Watching Tim Hayes act like a lame dinosaur and being tackled by his father on the front steps of the Natural History Museum.
8. It was priceless to see Alex play with Barbie Dolls in the Times Sq Toys R Us.
9. Watching Matt and Jenn's team play Marco Polo in slow motion and look like escapee's from the luney bin who needed a good fire extinguisher.


Now its time to include your highlights of the weekend.
Let everyone know what stood out to you!!
