Empty Nest




I have to interrupt my slow retelling of our Michigan vacation with pictures from last weekend, when we dropped Annie off at Roanoke College to begin her course of study there.

It was a nice weekend trip. We left from downtown Cincinnati Friday as I was getting off work and drove to Charleston, WV for the night. Next morning we continued on to the college (total driving time: 7 hours) and Annie was moved into her dorm room by noon. She then attended a blizzard of onboarding meetings and ceremonies. We got to see her for lunch and dinner Saturday and lunch on Sunday before heading home.

The college was beautiful, and the people we met were really nice, including Annie's roommate Katrina. Lee Ann and I had a good time poking around campus and staying Saturday night in a nearby b & b. Except for the fact that we were forced to leave our only daughter behind, in the clutches of total strangers, it was a pretty nifty weekend.
