I took our son to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville for orientation Thursday and Friday, and I wanted to go back to school again just so I could hang out there and be a student among the greenery and bricks and columns and trees. Campus is beautiful. I love it there. I hope he will too.

The Rotunda is the heart of the University of Virginia campus, and I can’t get enough of it.

I didn’t cry too much while we were there; tears welled up a few times, and my heart swelled with excitement and pride, but no full on waterworks. I’m not expecting the same for move-in day.
