I've lived my whole life north of the Mason-Dixon Line, but at this moment, two of my kids are south of it.
M is in Clemson, SC for spring break training for crew. She left Purdue at 2:00 a.m. and after surviving a bus breakdown, she finally arrived there late this afternoon. She won't be back on campus until sometime on Sunday, March 18.
E and N left West Lafayette at 11:00 a.m. and they arrived in Salem, VA also late this afternoon. They are going to check out a house for rent and also look at apartments in the Salem/Blacksburg area. Additionally, they're hoping to do some hiking and get a feel for what life in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia will be like. Before they know it, they'll be on the road and heading back to work and school responsibilities on Tuesday.
I hope everyone has a good time and safe travels. It's hard for me when my kids are so far away, but I guess I'd better get used to it. June is just a few months off and then we'll be helping E and N to load up a moving truck and settle into their new home in Virginia. M should graduate next May (2013) and she's planning on going to graduate school -- there's no guarantee that she will stay in the midwest.
Life goes on and change happens. At the very least I should have fun places to visit. : )
