A Little Trip to Radford College and Beyond!

This past Saturday we got the opportunity to take another Family Road Trip. We have a good friend, Jordan, you just started her freshman year at Radford University and she invited us down for the day to visit and get a personal tour of the campus!! It was about 6 hours of driving (total), but the trip was definitely worth it!

We got to see Jordan's dorm room. And as you can tell Emily made herself comfortable on her nice purple bed!!

During our tour of the campus we got to sit on "Jordan's Bench". This is a spot that she found shortly after coming to Radford and she spends many mornings out here catching up on school and talking and texting! Emily and I also thought "her spot" was quite cozy!! Right in front of us there is also a beautiful water fountain and the leaves are spectacular this time of year too!

After a yummy lunch and one of Jordan's favorite restaurants on campus, Salsaritas, we bundled up and headed to Virginia Tech to watch our first ever Quidditch Game! Jordan's Institute Activities Committee put it together and I will say it was quite entertaining to watch! They had hoops, brooms, a quaffle, and also special appearances from Professor Snape and Madame Hooch!

Another Shot of the Game Action!!

It was such a popular game that they had other students from around campus who wanted to join in the fun too! Needless to say, even though this was the first Quidditch Game I am sure it will not be the last!

This is how Emily enjoyed most of her Quidditch experience.....cuddled up with Jordan trying to stay as toasty as possible!! (Even though Emily looks a little sad in this picture, she did end up "warming up" a bit and enjoyed watching the game eventually!)

An amazing view of Autumn Time on the Virginia Tech Campus!

After we left Radford, we decided to pay a little visit to Grandpa Gray since we were so close already! We always have a nice time when we visit. He had ice cream and cookies waiting for us when we got there. It was nice to catch up on how life is going with everyone! And it was an especially nice for him because Nathan and Sarah and their family had just came to visit the day before!

Here is a cute picture of Emily with her Great Grandpa Gray. You can tell they both enjoyed each other's company!! Love those smiles!

Here's another cute one of Daddy getting some kisses from his little "Sweet P"!

One more shot of the 3 of them together!!

Our day was a lot of fun! Saturdays that are filled with family and friends always make for happy times!! Thanks again Jordan, for giving us this opportunity!!
