Just returned from the airport. Jack and I drove Nick to DFW to catch his flight to Annapolis, listening to "leaving on a jet plane" while driving up to the terminal. This was our last time to see him before Thanksgiving, and Nick will be out of contact at Plebe summer for the next 8 weeks--it's weird to think about that. His parents took about ten of us to the W last night for dessert, and then we all headed back to the Castilla's for a final "Kronos" in Colson's room. Nick only took a duffle bag with him--the kind you would pack for a weekend, except his is for a year. His room is rather bare--sort of perfect. The books lined up from shortest to tallest, the bulletin board blank. Austin leaves tomorrow to head up to Annapolis, too. It will be weird not to have them around. They will definitely be missed.
We returned from Joni and Friends on Sunday after saying goodbye to the Week 1 families. On our way home, we decided to take our time and make a day out of the 3 hour trip. After eating lunch in College Station, we headed back to Mollies house and took a short nap. Around 5:30, we began our trip home, stopping in Ennis to watch Knight and Day at the drive-in. I was rather impressed with the movie--not as cheesy as I had expected. The
movie was definitely made with both girls and guys in mind--a rarity for action films. We finally arrived back in Dallas around midnight, ready to rest up before we head back down to camp on Thursday morning.
