8/27/2006 Liz and I did not spend a lot of time in the water because of all the jellyfish! They were HUGE! Dirk was brave enough to go in to fish, but he did get a few stings! Posted by Picasa

Britt's at High Point!

8/19/2006 We drove down to HPU on Friday the 18th and moved Britt into her new dorm. Her 3 suitemates are all very nice, and her new digs are really great - not dorm-like at all! The HPU's mascot is the panther, and this huge statue is outside the athletic facilities where they held the convocation on Saturday. We left Britt on Sunday, and she seems to be handling her new life pretty well. They are keeping the kids busy with different orientation sessions before classes start on Wednesday. Posted by Picasa

Britt's Dorm Room

8/18/2006 Britt's room is nice, and it is a bit small, but she doesn't have to share it. Her suite is like a 4 bedroom apartment with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen. I guess the days of having to share a hall bathroom with 20 other girls are gone... Posted by Picasa
