Today was a pretty full and exciting day. We all woke up around 7:30 to get ready for the day. It was kind of a fight for the bathroom this morning though. We had to go in strides. But we made it through all the hulabaloo this morning and we managed to get out of the house about 9:00 after breakfast. Our first stop we made was the full tour of liberty. I took them around to the main campus classrooms. We also looked up my schedule and went around to find all my classes. I took them to eat in the Dining hall there too. They wanted to have the experience of the "rot". It was pretty good food this time though. It is usually pretty good at the begining of the year until they start to get lazy in the middle of the year and it starts to not be very good. But anyway, I think they enjoyed it there. After doing all the visiting at Liberty for today we headed by my work and I showed them the facillities there and introduced them to Andy and Jen. It worked out nice... it was a fairly non-busy part of the day when we showed up. Once we left there I took my grandparents and my dad back to my apartement so they could take a nap. Then my mom and I headed out to do some shopping. I wanted to swing by and pick up Britt and Allie and bring them along too to help me pick some clothes out for myself. We ended up getting like 4 pairs of pants and a new pair of sneakers. The timing worked out really well and once we were done shopping we swung by and picked up the rest of my family and then headed back to the Donneberg's house. I was kind of thinking of having my dad cook us all his salmon dish for us and we could eat and hang out at thier house. But they had a better idea that we could all head up to Smith Mountain Lake and hang out at the pier up there. It was about a 45 minute drive up there. Duing the drive Chuck tried to lose me and I tried to keep up. I think I probalby could have done it but I had to go really fast and my parents were getting rather uncomfortable about that so I had to just slow down and leave it at that. I ended up missing an exit because I ended up further behind but it didn't throw us off too bad we got back on track and made it their safely. Once we got there we fed the carp a bunch of bread. Britt, and Allie, and Jo were letting the fish suck the bread off of thier fingers. They tried to force me to do it. I did it once finally.. but I didn't want to. I don't think I'll ever live that one down. But thats ok, I don't mind it at all. After the bread was gone we shopped at some of the gift shops that were around and then watched a puppet show that was put on by a christan group that was there. Later we ate at a restaraunt right there on the pier. Allie, Britt, and I shared a huge plate of Nachos. It was really good. It was pretty filling though. We just barely finished it. We ended up being there until around 9:30 or so. I was a fun trip over all though. It was nice to have my families together to meet. I hope they all had a good time. On the trip back we stopped by to pick up some milk and then I dropped Allie off at the church so she could clean it. I didn't really want to leave her though, so since everybody else was up for it we just waited for her mom to get there before we left. (we went in separate cars and we got there first) By this time it was about 10:30 though so we just came right back to the apartement and most everyone went to sleep right away. I stayed up to do a few things though and my dad is watching some Television. But now I think I"m going to go to bed myself though. Night everyone!
