We returned to Western Illinois University for Homecoming today. We took the kids to the parade, around campus, to the Sigma Chi house, Aurelio’s Pizza for lunch (YUM!), to see the Rocky statue, and to the University Union.
Both kids had a great time! It was really fun to show them around. Laura asked a ton of questions. I think the favorite part for both of them was watching the parade and getting lots of candy. For me, it was watching the Marching Leathernecks play “Georgia On My Mind” at the WIU Alumni House. As a former Marching Leatherneck, that will forever hold a special place in my heart. For Andy, the experience of the whole weekend was his favorite part. We want to say a special thanks to Chuck and Karen Gilbert for letting us stay at their beautiful home and for their hospitality! It was truly a great weekend.
