Oxford, Ohio. Home to cows, corn, and a little school called The University of Miami. We got to spend last weekend visiting our sister Kelly after her first couple months as a freshman. First, the campus is beautiful, and makes us both wish we could go back to college again. Second, Kelly made a starting spot on one of the top skating teams in the world there, and it's truly amazing. Not only does she have three servant boys...err, personal trainers, but a gorgeous facility, and an incredible opportunity to compete worldwide with a top caliber team. We've always been impressed with her talent, but we tip our hats to her even more now.
On our way down Friday night we picked up our brother Blake at Purdue, and after a late arrival passed out asleep in our haven't-poured-a-dollar-into-maintenance-since-1972 hotel. Saturday we saw Kelly's room, met her roomate, saw her skating facilities, and a toured a good chunk of the campus. Then it was off to the Miami / Syracuse game, followed by a nice Italian dinner in downtown Oxford. After watching Blake scour craigslist for a bicycle made prior to 1980, we all crashed for the night.
Finally, Sunday we drove down to Cincy (after stopping for Chipotle, of course) and watched the final game for the Central Division Champion Chicago Cubs as they played the Cincinnati Reds on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Despite it being a meaningless game, we had a great time.
Thanks to Kelly and the rest of the family for the wonderful weekend!
