Loaded up and ready to go drop Colleen at Villanova University outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the start of freshman year. Here we come Villa-Lots-O-Fun!!! Wow, college drop off is intense. Note however, Jim and I were taking a golf road trip and dropping off furniture for Melissa at Duke. Still....
Freshman all live on one section of campus in a cluster of freshman dorms, dining hall, fitness facility, etc. Very nice, clean, and friendly, if small for three freshman girls. For anyone wanting to send snail mail and/or care packages her address is:
Villanova University
Good Counsel Hall, Room 204
P.O. Box 1421
800 Lancaster Avenue
Villanova, PA 19085-1679
Colleen's roomies are from New Jersey and Martha's Vineyard (small world!). Freshman orientation began Thursday night and lasted until Sunday. The students were split into groups of 23 with an upperclassman as OC (orientation counselor). They participated in team building activities, dined together, and got to know students from other dorms to introduce them to different kids and broaden their friend base.
Kelly (NJ), Alexia (MVY), Colleen in their room.
On the way to the crab bash a week later, we stopped in Pinehurst to play golf, walk the hallowed ground of the pros, and to pose with Payne Stewart (since we didn't like the pros). What fun.
Back on MVY for the end of summer in New England, labor day on Chappy Beach. How tranquil. Is this what we have in store as empty nesters? Maybe too tranquil, time will tell.
Tranquility.
Sunset at Chappy, good-bye summer.
