Driving up I-75 to Gainesville, MJ was all to eager to get to school. "When does school start?" He said "Wednesday the 23rd...but we can move into the dorm on SATURDAY!"OK THEN! So, off we went!
Everyone came prepared for the long 2.5 hour drive to UF, although Rachey didn't seem to be less interested in doing homework at 10 am and much more interested in her pillow.
The move-in went fairly well with everyone chipping in to help carry stuff up to his second floor dorm. UGH! Oppressive Florida heat and humidity!
Carolyn was shocked, SHOCKED, that the dorm rooms now had AIR CONDITIONING! "Well, when I WENT TO FLORIDA.........."
Stephanie was MORE than eager to carry up the latest and greatest TENT invention. Guaranteed to open in 2 seconds and fold up in 3 minutes! It was a last second gift for Michael to make his sleeping on line episodes a bit more civil......now GET THOSE TICKETS BOY!
Are you SURE there's AC in these dorms?
Michael and his Palm Harbor HS buddy Kyle Bernet found their room fairly easily using the impossible to screw up "kindergarten name on the door routine".
The final shots of the family together before MJ kindly asked us to "git" so he could explore his new found territory.We'll miss him terribly and I'm already lamenting the perilous drop in testosterone in our house now.
The last pic of the boys before departure. You know you're old when.........you're taking your son to college in an arm sling from rotator cuff surgery and he's wearing a shirt commemorating a concert from when YOU went to High School in the '70's! Bubba, have a great time!
