In the beginning

When I was little I loved to visit the school where my parents went to college. We would shop in the bookstore and eat in the cafeteria. I loved walking around campus and seeing all the students. My dad would always say, "Here is where it all began."

Since we are a short drive from Evan's alma mater (undergraduate) we took the day and went to visit. On the way there Sadie asked if we would meet any real students and we assured her that we would see some if not meet them. We went to the bookstore and got t-shirts.
We got ice cream in the cafeteria and sat in the shade to people watch and eat ice cream.
I think Ella felt a bit sophisticated to be at college.
We went to the science building to see the hands-on exhibits.
And then strolled around campus.
It was fun to be there, even though I didn't go to school there. (Maybe some day we'll make it up north.) Sometimes I miss the energy of those days, but I don't miss the insecurity.
Evan was going to school here when we met. So I guys you could say this is where it all began.
