Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Parents' Weekend at USC

It was finally time to visit our daughter at USC!  We hadn't seen her in over a month since we dropped her off, and we could hardly wait.




She met us at the welcome reception, and we were all starving.  After grabbing some wonderful Southern food, we enjoyed lots of catching up.  Mommy, Daddy, and the little one couldn't stop hugging her!


The next day we went to a tailgate before the big football game.  Although the weather was drizzle and damp, we enjoyed the food, conversations, and experience.



The little one wasn't too interested in the game, but sure enjoyed the cotton candy.  Our oldest sat in the student section with her friends.


After the game, we looked over the top of the stadium railing and saw this red train.  As we exited, we got a closer look.  These rail cars make up the South Carolina Cockaboose Railroad, and they are beautifully painted train cars that fans rent for parties before & after games.  This would be a really cool business perk or birthday bash!


Our final day was spent hanging out at the dorms, enjoying the food on campus, and playing games.  In her dorm, we all fit under her bed loft on her futon.  The guys had a great time playing with her roommate's play station.



During the trip home, our Little One logged a page in her journal.....There's nothing quite like reading her perpective!
