The Wenglers: Hotlanta

I feel like a real working woman now- I've been on my first funded business trip. The Air Force sponsored all the AEGD residents from across the US (about 80 total) to come to Atlanta for the Hinman Dental Convention. We came to attend continuing education lectures, present our table clinics (a big project we've been working on all year), and network with other Air Force dentists. It was a huge convention, with over 20,000 dentists and dental staff in attendance.
Jon decided to come along, and got to hang out with the other spouses during the day while we were at the convention. In the evenings we played tourist and got to eat at a lot of different restaurants.
Both of us LOVED Atlanta. There was so much to do within walking distance of our hotel. The downtown area felt clean and safe, and was centered around Centennial Olympic Park.

We had a lot of delicious food, all at restaurants within walking distance (bonus!)

Did you know that CNN is headquartered in Atlanta? Neither did I, until we took a tour

We were joined by our friend Abby and her 5-month-old Luke. Jon spent a lot of time with Abby and Luke during the days, and he said multiple times that he hopes our little boy is as happy as baby Luke.

This was a business trip, so we presented our table clinics at the convention. I've been working on mine since September, and the hard work paid off! I had lot of visitors at my table clinic, and lots of interest in the topic (FYI: My title was "Regeneration of Apical Tissues in Previously Necrotic Immature Teeth")
