Day 3 – A day of Adventures. Today will probably be a day that I will remember for the rest of my life! First stop was the Microsoft Visitors Centre where I was introduced to the founders of Microsoft, played a quick game of Kinect, and even cemented my thoughts and photo onto the Microsoft photo wall. (See photos below)
Next stop was the Microsoft Home Tour and although I would really like to share my thoughts on this special place located in the depths of the Microsoft Campus I have been sworn to secrecy! (and of course signed that all important non-disclosure form!) What I will say is that from the moment I stepped in the front door I was amazed! This would have to be one of the coolest places I have ever been!! I know that long after I have left Redmond, ‘Grace’ will hold a special place within my heart!
On to the future - Microsoft’s Envisaging Labs. Again words escape me. What a wonderful, technology rich world we live in. The things I saw in this room have blown me away – I only wish that I could have some of these ‘new’ technologies in my class NOW! My Principal should be worried because I will be asking for a wall of interactivity!

With my head spinning with new ideas it was time to shop! I could have spent a few hours in the Microsoft Company shop but I managed to exhibit some self-control and limited myself to 45 minutes! Yes kids I did find you some presents – I only hope that you have behaved yourselves! I cannot wait to wear my GEEK t-shirt! I may just be the coolest chick at hockey training!
