Alma mater, hail...

In October, we headed to the ol' alma mater for Homecoming and our five-year(!) reunion. Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year in Virginia, when the humidity breaks and the leaves turn the colors of the sun. There's nothing like the feeling of returning to campus, going back to all your favorite haunts (the delis!), and spending time with friends who have moved far away. Even though I totally skipped the football game, I have a lot of Tribe pride. Here are just a few pictures from that weekend.

The oldest academic building in the U.S., The Sir Christopher Wren Building, is an icon. Thomas Jefferson and I took classes in it. My husband and I got married in it. We named our dog after it. (Wren, not Sir Christopher.) The little green fellow welcoming you there is my man Lord Botetourt.

They finally rebuilt the Lake Matoaka amphitheater. It was, and now is again, a great spot for outdoor concerts, plays, and sunny-day studying. I wish they had done this while I was there, but I'm just glad they did it at all!
