Texas in Springtime

Friday, Meredith and I had another college road trip. 
This time we stayed in Texas and drove North about four and a half hours.
Springtime in Texas is BEAUTIFUL!

We saw sights like this {I didn't have a camera, so I grabbed some images off the web} . . .

We were beauty struck by the carpets of wildflowers, the roaming horses, cattle, meandering fence lines and manicured ranches.  We had a scheduled tour at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.


We enjoyed our visit very much.  For a university it is on the smaller size (8,000 or so undergraduates), but boasts all the amenities of a larger school.  The school of nursing offers a four year BSN degree and Meredith particularly enjoyed seeing nursing students about campus in their signature purple scrubs!

We've been blessed this spring break to take time to be together.  When school and ballet are in high gear, we simply do not get this kind of time with our girl.  And pretty soon (sooner than we think), she will be away, at one of these fine institutions we've visited.  So I am so very grateful for what this week has offered us in terms of time together making memories.


Now - on to enjoy the weekend with the rest of the crew before school starts back up on Monday!
