Hello everyone! As Katrina has already stated, we have made it back in Elmira safety. The last two days have consisted of traveling and enjoying our last few days together. Saturday was the drive from Berea, Kentucky to Harrisonburg, Virginia. Saturday also marked Katrina's 20th birthday! We stopped along the day to eat at a really amazing food court catered by the GreenBrier Luxury Resort. We all really enjoyed it. We arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia at around 3:30 and all agreed that we should relax before we head out for our last dinner together. Harrisonburg was really hot and the temperature was close to 90 degrees, so we all decided to take advantage of the pool until our dinner plans at L'Italia at 7:00 p.m. L'Italia had amazing italian food and all of us enjoyed the brushetta, pasta, steak, and deserts we all ate throughout the meal. After dinner we decided to drive through James Madison University (JMU) to take a look at the campus. We all were amazed at how big and beautiful the campus was. Our trip in many ways indirectly took on a new purpose. For all of us it made us start thinking about graduate schools and we were able to visit two universities and drive through two. After JMU we stopped at Starbuck's and drank coffee and chatted about our trip. A good way to end it! We also took a picture together for the last time as one big group for Katrina's birthday. I do not have the picture, but hopefully it will appear on this blog soon! After Starbuck's, we all went back to the hotel and settled into our beds. It was nice to sleep in a big bed, with comfy sheets after being in a dorm bed for the last couple of weeks. We all went to bed early since we had a six a.m. wake up call to head back to ELMIRA!
The ride back to Elmira was long, since we were all so anxious to be reunited with our friends and family. At the same time, however, we were all sad that this would be our last day as one big group. I know we have said it on this blog before, but we really have become a family! We ate breakfast at the hotel and were on the road by 7:30 a.m. The day consisted of Dr. Johnson driving, with the rest of us sleeping. We stopped about an hour outside of Elmira at Taryn's house in Mansfield, PA. Taryn's family made us homemade lemonade and snacks and it was a much needed final break before the last hour to Elmira. Thanks Rumsey's!
We are all back at Elmira. Some of us are leaving in the next couple of days for the summer, while others of us will be staying and working and taking classes at Elmira over the summer. Also for Melinda this is her last week here at EC before she graduates! We all are happy to be back, but also extremely happy that we had the opportunity to go to Kentucky this Term III
SENDING OFF!
Nolan, Melinda, Kara, Taryn, Amanda & Katrina.
