Virginia Tech!!

This weekend was Chase’s birthday as well as parent’s day at Virginia Tech.  Jeff and I were lucky enough to go to Blacksburg, Virginia for the festivities.  What a wonderful, beautiful, relaxing time. 

Chase is living in the dorms and his dorm is party central.  When we arrived there were (no lie) 13 boys in the little room playing video games.  We got to eat at the dining hall with Chase, which was totally fun and surprisingly good.  Here are some photos of the dorm life.  It’s a good thing they are so young..  This would drive me crazy. They love it!

Virginia Tech is a beautiful campus.  The buildings are all made of limestone and are absolutely gorgeous.  It was fall and the campus has tons of trees and is built on rolling hills.  While we were there we took Chase out for lots of yummy meals and hung out with his friends and their families.  I had the chance to make friends with incredible people.  We firmed up an apartment for Chase next year so he can escape “dorm life.”

There were “Hokies” all over town dressed in different clothes.  It reminded me of the Kim and Shea “Iowa” days and search Iowa City for Hurkey.

Photo of Chase’s friends and their families, we are taking a break from the apartment hunt.  It was so fun to see so many personalities together.  On the far left is Chase’s friend Dan and his mom and sister.  Eddie (Chase’s room mate) and his mom in the middle and Chase and Jeff on the right.

 

Jeff had to show off Chase’s snowboarding and wake boarding abilities.  The photo with the bird is Chase’s room mate Eddie and his parents.  They were a wonderful family.  The pictures below are just photos on campus.

Chase got lots of great stuff for his birthday.  He loves this pull up bar that hangs on his door. 

Happy Birthday Chaser!  Thanks for sharing a weekend with us.  I am so proud of Chase.  He is a hard worker and so fun to be around.  The only negative… saying goodbye!  I, of course cried intermittently the rest of the day. However, it was worth it.

Love you Chase!!
