National Geographic Geography Bee
As you may or may not know, Jennifer was a finalist in the National Geographic Geography Bee. It's not that she's ever studied or anything, but she's fairly well traveled. By chance, she got asked questions about Ireland, France, Hawaii, California, Florida, etc., all places she's been. So, it's not like she's ever cracked a book or checked a map, but she got a lot of questions right just because she'd been there, apparently. Plus, she made some good guesses, I think.
Yesterday, she was eliminated, but I told her I was really proud of her and today, they actually gave her a medal. Pretty cool, me thinks.
Update: I had initially called it a "Spelling Bee". It was, in fact, a "Geography Bee". Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Rob,
that is the "Geography Bee", not "Selling Bee".

I guess I can't type:.. "Spelling", not "Selling".
