Every January I travel south, usually before, but sometimes after the Super Bowl to visit with Walnut Hill alums in Florida. Some years, we travel both coasts, some years we do only one. This was one of those years where the east coast of Florida would outline our travel. Walnut Hill alums who call the Sunshine state home span recent graduates in the class of 2017, to alums playing as artistic fellows with New World Symphony between 2008 and 2010

People who know me well can tell you that I have a thing for bags. I have owned and swapped out a variety of bags over the last 20+ years of working in and around schools. First let me say that some bags are great for certain uses, while others have the ability to perform multiple duties. For me, the search for the perfect, elusive everyday bag has been an ongoing process.
