If you have children, you hopefully get to see them grow up and go to college. Our youngest, Katharine, has begun that journey at Wagner College on Staten Island. Here is a little photo-essay that chronicles the journey from Virginia to her dorm room.
Here is just one of the many piles of "absolutely necessary" items about to be packed in our two vehicles to make the 240 mile trip.
The packing has begun...
...and continues. Soon both cars will be stuffed full.
Our arrival at the hotel in Staten Island.
And the great blessing of New York style pizza.
The morning of the "move-in." We're about to leave the hotel and drive to her dorm.
The line ahead....
...and behind.
Her dorm....
...and the unbelievable view from her dorm room. You really have to click on this one to appreciate it. She can even see the Statue of Liberty from here. How many of us can say that?
Stuff everywhere...
...and more stuff over there.
On the way to lunch.
You mean I have to WALK everywhere I go?!?
Mom, can you move up here and cook for me?
Finally done! Look out, New York!
Postscript: Hurricane Irene is pounding the college as a I write this, but Katharine and her friend Angie have evacuated to New Jersey and are safe at Angie's house. What an exciting start to the school year!
