Following the Engineering blowout, we had some dinner in downtown Blacksburg (already looking a bit empty) and then made our last trip to Lee Street. Craig had a few (thousand) boxes to load, but in between the our car, Mom and Dad's, and Craig's, everything fit. Of course we did not stick around to see the real drama of Brooke packing everything into her car!
After carrying out the last boxes, we visited a Blacksburg restaurant for a last beverage in town. When we asked the waitress to described the taste of the local brew, she said "it's from Floyd County". I guess that pretty well summed it up.
The next morning we journeyed to Salem / Roanoke to Christ Lutheran Church to join Stephen in the worship service. This is the church where Stephen and Betsy have been serving since last August. This was Mom and Dad's first chance to witness Stephen "in action" in this church and we were thrilled they could join us. Even Brooke and Craig arrived just before the service began, so they get extra points for going above and beyond on the day after graduation.

After the service we met up with Betsy (who serves as choir director / organist at another Lutheran church in the area) and enjoyed lunch at the famous Mac and Bobs. It was great to see everyone one last time and reflect on the joys of the weekend.
