Parents Weekend at Bradley, Pt 1 (of 2)















Keeping you busy during pre-election week.

We drove to Peoria Friday night--terrible weather, rain all the way--got in around 9:30 and just went to our hotel. Sam had stuff going on anyway, and we were tired.

Saturday we got up, went to Sam's dorm and moved in his futon (but, so help me God, I will never move a futon again) and his table, then took him shopping. Back from the shopping trip, we carried all that stuff in, then went over to look at Bradley's new recreation/athletic center.

Wow, is this place incredible! It has a pool that's like a cathedral of swimming, a track, three large courts, one small practice court for the basketball teams, two raquetball courts, tons of exercise equipment, and check out the three-story rock-climbing wall. Oh, and they also have a second, 45-degree climbing wall. And of course a juice bar and HD TVs.

After seeing this, we went over to Sam's dorm, and on the way, Lori discovered a Bush she actually liked (Go Barack!). And Sam and I got in a shot together in front of his dorm, just to prove I was really there. Coming soon: Sam's Delta Upsilon house, his team's big win (a video!), steak dinner, and then we come home.
