This past weekend Abby came in town to visit and we also made a trip to Tallahassee on Saturday to visit Connor.
The drive to Tallahassee is not too long, but a bit painful to go both ways on the same day. Paige needs highway driving experience, so we took the opportunity to have her practice and she drove the entire way to Tallahassee without stopping. Nobody honked at her once and we survived, which was nice for everyone.
When we arrived, we met Connor at McAlister's Deli and enjoyed the nice weather outside so Millie Mae could join us as well.
After lunch, we went back to Connor's dorm room and the quick visit turned in to a huge project to clean his living conditions. Some notable moments were when we found that he still has dozens of eggs in the fridge, which are all likely rotten. They're being saved for a frat activity and we would rather not know anything else about it.
We spent a while organizing, cleaning, changing air filters, and throwing away things like a ruined comforter that hadn't been dried properly.
Connor doesn't really use dishes, but someone opened the dishwasher at one point and it was filled with water and smelled awful. It started gushing the filthy water on the floor and the entire roll of paper towels we brought him had to be used to deal with it. A repair request was put in for the dishwasher and also Connor's bedroom door which had come off the hinges.
No dogs are allowed in the dorm and Millie had to wait patiently outside.
When we finished with the dorm project, we walked to the Student Union to do some FSU shopping in the bookstore.
Our final stop was at Target, where we picked up a number of things for Connor, including many more paper towels.
We would have liked to possibly hang out longer, but Connor had a Valentine's Day event to go to in the evening and we decided that we should start on our drive home so we gave him big hugs and kisses before we left.
