Panasonic Academic Challenge - 2007

Tuesday, June 26, 2007

The 20th Panasonic Academic Challenge, Tom's 10th, was at the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. This annual event is a competition among states and territories of the United States giving us yet another opportunity to enjoy the fine WDW cuisine with Kate and Sal.

The last day of competition, Tom read one of the semi-final matches and then kept the electronic display board for the National Championship. Kate and Sal went into Magic Kingdom for their early opening hours. Dinner was another fine visit to the California Grill.
