We attended the Easter Vigil and then left early on the morning of Easter to visit Jeff and Chelsea at their new home. They have been here for many months but I hadn't found a free weekend to visit between all of our schedules. We solved that problem in a delightful way by making a one day visit that was easy and fun for everybody.
Chelsea took a short break from studying for exams and we shared an Easter dinner of brown sugar glazed, spiral cut ham. It was delicious!
Brussels Sprouts are my new favorite vegetable. We browned some up in a skillet with olive oil, garlic and onion. These are as good as candy!
It was a pleasure to hang out and to see the many improvements that this happy couple have made on their home.
Jeff installed a super nice projector in his theater room. Wearing special glasses, the family is checking out its 3D capabilities.
Natalie is getting a chance to discuss the details of her upcoming move to this college town with Chelsea in the fabulous screened in porch!
We went for a driving tour around the very hilly town and the college sites.
This impressive brand new building is where Chelsea attends classes.
This college takes its football seriously! This is the stadium which is sold out for home games.
On those weekends, folks in RV's roll in to spend the night and set up elaborate tailgate parties.
The geography of this town, which I had never been to before is remarkable. Hilly is an understatement. Almost every street is very hilly and the buildings and homes are built on the sides of huge steep hills.
This one day visit was a great way to go. We left at 7 am and returned home at 10 pm.There was no need to pack any clothing or inconvenience our hosts to set up sleeping arrangements for 6 people. We will definitely do this again, God willing.
