I flew out Saturday morning at the atrocious hour of 6 a.m. It hurt to get up at 3:30, but I wanted to make sure I arrived on time and all that jazz. James dropped me off at around 5 a.m. and by the time I checked my bag and made it through security, it was time to board. The flights went well, both from RDU to Atlanta and then from Atlanta to Pensacola. The only thing that I regret is requesting a window seat. I wasn't considering the fact that Kendall's new favorite past time is kicking Mommy's bladder, so I had to interrupt my neighboring passenger (as well as the beverage service) to go to the itty bitty bathroom. Good times.
Saturday was spent getting the girls (Lexie, who is a Junior and Lindsay, who is a Freshman) somewhat situated. We shopped for some dorm essentials and ate on campus - all pretty fun. They have a beautiful campus and really nice dorms. They're at Pensacola Christian College, both majoring in education.
Sunday, we went to church on campus, then lunch and naps. Allie (youngest sister - she's a 7th grader, but would have gladly stayed with her college sisters if given half the chance) and I went to the Planetarium that they have on campus (nice, right??) and caught a show before evening church. I really enjoyed the college pastor...especially the evening service.
Monday, Lexie and Lindsay had business to attend to on campus, so we just kind of hung around the hotel. We attempted the beach later in the afternoon, but that didn't work out too well. I beat Allie in Phase 10, which is always a pleasure. That evening we headed to the Sports Center on campus where they have ice skating, bowling, ping pong, air hockey (whooped Allie in that too!) and a few other things for the students to do. I personally love to bowl, Dad vetoed that. Evidently pregnant ladies can't bowl for some unknown reason?
All in all, it was a great trip. I really enjoyed being with them since I'm not with them nearly enough. And it felt good to be with the girls for such a big occasion.
Stay tuned for Part II - Hilton Head...
Only took 2 measly pics while I was there:
Lexie, Lindsay, me, Dad, Putt, Allie at church

(you can't tell but there was a thunderstorm going on)

I had a bunch of friends go to PCC. I hope they learn lots and have a great time in college.
