Road trip. Detour-Blacksburg...

On our drive home from Charlotte, we decided to take a slight detour and have lunch in Blacksburg. While it was a little out of the way, it was still a great break from our drive and a good excuse to check out campus and eat at one of our favorite restaurants.

We drove around campus for a bit and even got some photos on the drill field and in front of Burruss. I feel that baby boy is now officially betrothed to Virginia Tech! :)



Campus looked fantastic--amazing the difference between November (when we were last there) and the middle of summer. Everything was so green and the landscaping looked great! Just another reminder of why it is the best school around! :)





After snapping some photos we headed over to the bookstore and loaded up on some new hokie gear for the upcoming football season (less than a month away folks!) I was also hoping to buy some stuff for baby boy, but it was all so expensive, so we figured we'd save the money and put it towards his Va Tech tuition! :)

We then headed to Macados for lunch and enjoyed every second of it! We had fun reminiscing and of course devoured our sandwiches as well!



After lunch we decided to grab a few things for the car ride home (a soda for Andy and ice cream for me). We settled on "Deets Place" as the stopping point (a coffee shop on campus that we frequented quite often when we were in college and dating) and quickly parked nearby to run in and get our goodies. Sadly, it was closed, and in the three minutes we were away from the car we were given the wonderful (and yet not unexpected) gift of a VT parking ticket. Ah the memories...I think we both received our fair share of tickets during our time at Tech, and we're happy to donate the $30 back to our beloved Alma Mater.



Still laughing about the ticket, we headed to TCBY to indulge my ice cream craving and then it was back to 81 for the drive home.

Looking forward to our next trip when we can actually show baby boy our Alma Mater (and his future school!) :) Go Hokies (old and new) :)
