We had a lovely Easter with Caitlin, Jean-Luc, Jordan, and Aster! Sunday morning we split up and the three of them went back to Ottawa, while Grampa and I took Jordan back to Queen's University in Kingston.
The Big Rideau is still frozen in spots.

We drove Jordan to his dorm. I had his address, I should have plugged it into my phone map. That and the address of the hotel. That gave us some issues.
He dumped off his bag and we proceeded on a tour of the campus. It takes me back, those typical university walls. Joe Brian attended 50 years ago. It's changed.
It was a brisk walkabout. You can see the winds blowing on the water.

Jordan begins exams on Friday. He is home after that for a week, then the family will move his things into the apartment he and a friend have rented for a year. He's job hunting, and will stay in Kingston over the summer, as well. They say kids grow fast, but grandkids grow even faster!
More on our visit tomorrow.
In the meantime, we've more snow. The snow tires come off today. Oh yay.
Yes, grandkids do grow faster. Good observation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tour! So glad everyone is doing well. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are had a wonderful Easter. So glad you got to spend a day extra with Jordan. You’re absolutely right about grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteHow nice you got to take Jordan to school, and have a good walk around. The campus is impressive!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to spend that time with Jordan -- and the university looks like it's really quite a lovely one with some beautiful buildings. I love that you had a personally guided tour by your favorite guide!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that Jordan is so grown up. It does feel really fast.
ReplyDelete...I'm sure that plenty changes in 50 years!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful university. I do miss those days and wish I could have gone back with a more mature mind.
ReplyDeleteOh no to snow!
I got to see my 2 yr old grandchild this past weekend and then visited also with two more grands ages 20 and 22. How time flies!
My husband is Applied Science '63. My daughter is Arts 89. And, yes, there have been a lot of changes, but you can still see what makes the campus special.
ReplyDeleteIt's a long time ago that I visited the two campuses I went to.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to visit. The pendulum is way cool. And Jordan sure is handsome. Yes, the grands grow quickly. Most of ours are late 20s and 30s now. I miss the days when they were little.
ReplyDeleteThey grow taller, faster, become adults at a much earlier age then I did.Do they miss out on childhood adventures and fun, or is the fun just a different type now? Your spring is nigh.!!!
