Lobbying-Albany,NY

Today Eric Richardson, Ryne McCord, Nick Calandra, Anthony Passerino, Chris Ripley, myself Kelly Pozantides, along with our wonderful advisor Lakeisha Flood, left Medaille College around 5pm to take our 5 hour journey to the great state capital of New York, Albany!! I sat in the front seat as Ryne and Nick were on their computers. Ryne was watching a movie, and Nick was working on his 40 page power point. Chris and Tony were in the back listening to music, and trying to watch the movie old school that Ryne was watching. I just sat in front texting on my phone and talking to Keisha. We first stopped at around seven to take a stretch. As we kept driving it started to know more into the farther Rochester Area, but Keisha still kept us safe on the road. The Hilbert student were hungry so we stopped and at at Starbucks and some at Burger King. Then we started off on our way to Albany only about 35 miles to go. About an hour and a half later we arrive at the Holiday Inn Express in Downtown Albany. We get into the parking lot as we travel the parking lot for 10 min trying to find a parking spot. We finally just park in front and Keisha runs in to get us our room keys. We get into our rooms and settle in for an early morning.
