Spring VT Campout

We headed to Blacksburg for the 1st time to attend the spring game this past weekend. This was the 1st year, it didn't really conflict with birthday parties, spring break, etc. We convinced my college roomies and Ken and Linda to make the trip with us, as we also joined another group of die hard tailgaters, friends of the Klinge crew and Debbie's brother and brother-n-law. Luckily we made it up fairly early on Friday afternoon and enjoyed some nice weather Friday and Saturday (early day).
Unfortunately, right as we arrived at Lane Stadium, thunder started to rumble and the game was delayed and ultimately cancelled. We ended up hanging out for a while in the stadium but made our way back to continue camping. I realized when we got home, other than our walk to the stadium, we enjoyed just hanging out in the same spot for almost 2 whole days with our buddies. Lots of fun.

Highlights:
Playing with friends (young and old). Water pong, cornhole, bubbles
Tailgating with good food, thanks for the BBQ Chef Jon
Watching planes
Walks with Stella
Talking to the cows


The whole camping crew, Santiago, Hamm (NC & VA), Nystrom and Kolkhorst Families. As Jen said, my how we've grown! 11 kids here, look closely.
Our campsite was right next to the Virginia Tech airport. A great spot to perch and look for planes taking off. Will, Matt, Charlie.
