A few weeks ago, we traveled to Savannah to drop off our daughter for college. Her school is on the quarter system, so she starts school in September and ends in June. It is a long drive to Savannah, but a stop at Buc-ees helps!
Savannah is such a beautiful town. I love riding down the streets seeing all the trees with moss hanging over, creating such a pretty view.
We were thankful to be there to help get her all settled in her new place. I mentioned a few weeks ago that the new dorm building she was assinged to was not going to be ready in time for the opening of school. The school decided to lease a new apartment buidling for the students who were assinged to the dorm building that wasn't ready. So it was fun to move my daughter into a new apartment building and now she has her own room, bathroom, full kitchen and a washer/dryer in the unit.
Here I am with my daughter, her roommate, who is from New Jersey, and her mom. We are so thankful she has such a sweet roommate and love her family too!
No trip to Savannah would be complete without a trp to Blick, the local art store.
Or a trip to Walmart for necessities, including groceries.
In one of the student buildings on campus, we found these Skeeball machines, which were free. I could have stayed here a little longer and played some more!
We also took an afternoon to go to the beach. It was so relaxing.
It was a good, but short trip. There were 2 days of driving and 2 days there.
It won't be long and she will be home for Thanksgiving with as fast as time is going!
What a great trip, short though it was. I have never been to Savannah or a Buc-ees; the former is more on my bucket list than the latter, lol. What a pretty apartment and how fun to be so close to the beach!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful city to attend college! I don't have an artistic bone in my body but we have Blick in NYC too and I always did my kids regular back to school shopping there! (so extra, but I love everything about that store!)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's apartment is so cute! Glad she got all settled in and hope she has a great year! Savannah looks beautiful! I have never been there before, but I love those brick streets. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great feeling to get your daughter settled in for the year. I'm glad her school made everything right with the apartment. Auburn had a dorm that was unable to open due to flooding, and all those kids were just out of luck for housing! There was a lot of scrambling for the few apartments available right before school started!
