Home & Away

 Everyone was exhausted from yesterday's activities, so no one was moving very fast this morning.  Thankfully, we didn't need to leave Bloomington until 2:30 so we had plenty of time to wake up and get started on our day.  Meg talked Cameron into trying a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks before Doug and I headed over to her apartment to help hang a few pictures and the ghost lights.

Meg then chose Buffalouies for lunch.  Even though it wasn't noon yet, it was already packed when we arrived.  Thankfully, we found a table outside so we could enjoy the beautiful sunshine while we were waiting for our food.  After lunch we walked through campus. The campus looked beautiful and we appreciated all of the shade trees as it was quite a bit hotter than yesterday.  We dropped Meg and Cameron off at her apartment afterward so that we could pack for our return trip home.  Doug was flying to Orlando this afternoon, so we rearranged the Pilot in order for him to access his suitcase once we pulled into the Indianapolis airport.

The drive to Indy was slow, especially with the detour due to construction on 37 in Martinsville.  Doug's plane was delayed about twenty minutes, so he was early even with the increased traffic.  I was sad to see him go as we had had a fun weekend.  He would be extremely busy with work this week, however, and Cameron and I had a lot of activities planned as well with Bethany tennis and Brett coming home for a few days.  Our trip back to Syracuse was a quick one as we had the US Open to listen to on Sirius radio and football to watch on YouTube TV.  

As soon as we pulled in the driveway, we unpacked the Pilot and went our separate ways for the next few hours.  Cameron headed upstairs to relax and I went outside for a walk before it got dark.  We met back up later to pick up Taco Bell for dinner and watch the Bears game.  Cam liked the new spicy chicken taco sandwich that he tried and the Bears at least made the game against the Rams respectable only losing by twenty.  Doug called close to 10 p.m. to let me know that he had arrived at the Springhill Suites in Ocala without any issues.  I was glad to hear that and thankful for safe trips all around today.
